Today we went on an excursion to Marseille. It was absolutely beautiful, the buildings, the water, the beaches, everything!
We began the day with out first language class, which wasnt exactly simple, but it was very informative. then we ate an early lunch (nutella on toast) and hit the road. We arrived quicker than i had imagined for it was only a 20 minute bus ride.
Next came the boat ride to the beach. Occasionally i feel a tad sea sick (de temps en temps) but this boat ride was too fun to even think of that. not only did we play french games but everywhere we looked we saw awesome mountains, ancient statues and a bright blue sea.
The beach we small but perfect. we were able to lie out on the sand and just relax for a little. some of the more adventurous people swam out in the what i felt was too cold water. instead i happily took some photos and then a nap. over all it was an amazing day and i cant wait to go back because Marseille is the type of place where the moment you left the train station you know you're in a special city. je dois dormir maintenant, au revoir mes amis!
Today we went to Arles, an adorable little town. The main attraction here was the photography museum, which was verrrry interesting and advertised by these bulls and other characters similar to it. Later we got to explore the area; it was similar to Aix but not as crowded. also, there was a huge river where we hung out for about 45 minutes, just watching the sun go down. It was a great day!
