Try making some of that mead sparkle. Just be sure to use punted champagne style bottles. I make one that uses about 12 pounds of honey and a couple of pounds of pure maple syrup.
Add some charging sugar before you bottle it in the punted bottles. Make sure you cage the corks. Then let it sit about a month or so.
Your going to need some help. Call me when it brewed.
Bon Voyage!
I hope you have a great trip, and meet the girl if your dreams.

Gallo-Roman describes the Romanized culture of Gaul under the rule of the Roman Empire. This was characterized by the Gaulish adoption or adaptation of Roman mores and way of life in a uniquely Gaulish context.
The well-studied meld of cultures in Gaul give historians a model against which to compare and contrast parallel developments of Romanization in other, less-studied Roman provinces.

Thanks for the list of potential vacation stops.
Exploring Roman ruins in France makes a great travel plan.
The Maison Carre in Nimes is a Roman temple in perfect condition.
The Colosseum in Arles is in much better condition than the one in Rome. It is still used for bullfights.
The Roman Bath complex in the middle of Paris is magnificently restored and the Musee Cluny is built around it.
