I think a huge part of why I love this painting is because when I was young, there was an exact replica of this painting done by my father that hung in my grandma's house. The copy was actually so close to the real one that my dad had to register it or something like that so that it wouldn't be mistaken for Van Gogh's original! I haven't seen that painting in years as my grandma has since relocated to Texas and I assume she took it with her. However, my dad knows how much I love it and he said he's willing it to me.
Hey Justin, yeah I've actually eaten there! Unfortunately, it's a bit touristy now and the food's not that amazing. But what a beautiful spot and so historic. Arles is a great city and you should definitely go there - there are Van Gogh paintings every where you look.

Where haven't you been, Brian? Haha. Well, even though it's touristy, I still want to SEE it just because the painting means a lot to me. I'd just love to go to France in general.
