We embarked on the Poetry II and docked in Arles for
the night. Our cruise director neglected to tell us about the bullfight and
the after party with thousands of drunken revelers. Perhaps he didn't want to
lose any of us before the cruise began. This morning we saw the barricades protecting
viewers of the Arles version of "Running with the bulls." . 
The rest of our walking tour included the Arena, Theater, Place du Forum, Roman Obelisk, and St. Trophime Church (Romanesque and Gothic). We also visited the hospital Van Gogh stayed after his ear incident.
