I like travelling, whether it is different countries or just different towns. When I go on holiday I always like to buy a special souvenir, something that will always remind me of the time I was there. I can recall the sights sounds and even smells of places I have visited. I don’t like to buy things in the local souvenir shops because most items at those shops are cheap and nasty and maybe not even made locally. I prefer to look around and take my time, waiting for something to catch my eye. All my souvenirs are on the walls or shelves in my home. There are ornaments , pictures , rugs and other items. I particularly remember one holiday, driving around France. I was there for over a month, exploring small towns and villages and ignoring the big cities. Smaller places are friendlier and generally more interesting. I had reached the lovely warm Mediterranean coast and arrived in the town of Arles. It is a very old town with a lot of Roman architecture, all very ancient. It was a sunny day and I just wandered around, enjoying the old buildings, buying a few snacks. Then I saw a small art shop. I could see many paintings hanging inside so I went in to have a look. The owner was also the artist. He painted views of the old town mainly, and I was taken by one picture of a couple of old white painted buildings adorned in flowers, in the evening sun. I bought it and took it home. Every morning when I see it I remember everything about the holiday. The scenery, the people, the food and the smells, so special to me. I have been back several times since and it is just as wonderful.
