July 2-3, 2008 Avignon
This will be short and sweet. We are in Avignon. We drove the scenic "wine" route yesterday through lavender fields and vineyards. I wish I could have enjoyed it more, but my throat was on fire. None of the medicines I had gotten from the pharmacy were working. Upon arrival in Avignon, I determined that I would have to go to a doctor.
I did just that this morning. I went to a "generalist", Dr. Christian Duval. Very nice man. Didn't have to wait at all. He said the sore throat was due to running the air conditioning too low and something about bacteria in the walls, and I would need an antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory to get over it. It cost me 30 euros and 15 for the medications. I feel better just knowing that I don't have strep throat or something, and that I have medicine (I think it is like Ceclor). So hopefully I will be back to feeling decently later. And I will tell Rick Steves to tell his readers not to run the air conditionning too cold in Nice in the summer! I'm off to try to enjoy sightseeing with Mark.....will update more later!

Sounds like quite an adventure--I read the entire account this morning, and I'm worn out already! Actually, it all sounds fabulous. I'm glad your ankle is holding up, and I hope your sore throat is better.
