Nimes - Arena, Maison Carree (we got to walk inside the Arena - yeah!)

Have you guys seen the movie "Jumpers"? Quess what...the Arena that they used was not built in Hollywood. It was built 2 whole centuries prior to Jesus in Nimes. (btw - Jesus saves because he shops at Walmart ;)
We walked and climbed all ovah that arena (hope you are jealous now)
