Today's adventure was in an old (make that ancient) quarry town with the remains of a medieval castle at the top of the hill. We first saw a 40 minute slide show of Picasso's art projected on multiple walls of an underground quarry. Marie taught me the difference between analytic and synthetic cubism there. From there we toured the castle ruins with recreated battering rams and catapults and a comprehensive audioguide. Afterwards we wandered through town for another hour or so before going on to Van Gogh's asylum.
