Anna and Louis decide what to cook for Anna's mother's birthday. They use a lot of slang words in their conversation, such as despi (speedy, quick) and darons (parents, folks).

Arles is an interesting town to visit, well-known for its Roman amphitheater. At one point two hundred houses were hiding inside the arena itself.
