20 Oct aboard Le Phenicien and a field trip

We spent Sunday night on Le Phenicien at Aigues Mortes then left the next morning on the first leg of our cruise along the canal.  From our first stop we were driven far into the Carmague  (a vast area of marshes & pasture land) to a ranch that raised championship bulls and the white horses that tend them. There we learned about the bull races of Provence.  When we got back to the barge John went on a bike ride along the canal.
