They used to actually have a little monument inside locating the exact center, but I'm told it's gone. Of course, I don't trust Dali's opinion on anything. <br /><br />@Graham: American radio people have a horror of mispronouncing words, especially on NPR. Some day I'll see Terry and teach her how to say Montpellier, but that'll probably lead to people thinking I live in the capital of Vermont, which only has one l and is pronounced mont-PEEL-yer.Ed Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12846657618234700638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564134964285988310.post-52058576476904406772009-12-12T00:06:11.453+01:002009-12-12T00:06:11.453+01:00On a different note, how come Fresh Air always fin...On a different note, how come Fresh Air always finish with "Ed Ward lives in the south of France".

My recollection of Les Halles de Narbonne may have been slightly gilded by youth and time, but it's still a pretty impressive daily market for a moderately-sized provinicial town. <br /><br />Interesting that things always seem to go downhill in towns/city-states after they expell the Jews...etnobofinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05405364954348521371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564134964285988310.post-43940740993287966772009-12-11T21:13:17.524+01:002009-12-11T21:13:17.524+01:00Thanks, Ed.

It is the first station between Spain and France and these fuckers still have different track guages, so you have to layover and catch a new train. And people wonder why I don't travel without liquer or wine...And, BTW, I'm sure you know this, but every train station in the world is the same at 2AM> Cheers.<br /><br />Kevin Wheelerkevin wheelerhttp://www.kevarts.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564134964285988310.post-28917395186659571372009-12-11T18:38:23.872+01:002009-12-11T18:38:23.872+01:00This is a great post, Ed.
