Aqueducts

Following our bike ride we took the road less traveled home, along a single track path, and found aqueducts.

While we have seen aqueducts before we have never walked on them. We found a spot and hopped on top. The kids were especially surprised to see real water flowing.

It was so incredibly amazing to be able to walk on this structure. Studying Latin and Roman life for 5 years in high school has helped me appreciate structures like this. My mind is still baffled.

    So cool! Have you guys been to the Pont du Gard yet, I can’t remember? Talk about an amazing structure….. definitely get the tour where you can walk on top of it!

    If you enjoyed this aqueduct you must visit the Pont-du-gard near nime. Beautiful 1000 plus year old olive trees there as well.
    Thinking about the movie “mr. Beans Vacation” that takes you along his travels through France.
    You and your family must watch if you have not seen.
