... Halloween by dressing up as FAME! – oh so scary – and going to a party in a basement with some other ERASMUS
students, ending the night with a good portion of chips. The French don’t really ‘do’ Halloween, although they do have a holiday for All Saints’, so it meant we were easily recognised as foreign, as usual, but on the other hand meant we got free drinks and sweets! There’s also been Remembrance Day (and no, I don’ ...

... rain finally stopped after nearly a week so we were able to enjoy some out of Scooby time!

Saturday 7 Nov
Forecasted for rain today but it held off until late afternoon which gave me time to replace the washer in the gear box and for Kim to go for a run, which she was hankering for as she had been getting a little cabin fever of late due to the rain and lack of exercise/time outside!

... made some friends had we the time and resources to put together costumes... I decided we were dressed up as Canadians, which I thought would have worked great until Tom pointed out that Canadians would probably speak more French. But we weren't really left out, there were only a handful of people dressed up. Overall; here is the tally of costumes in Aix on halloween: 2 girls in witch hats (with one stocking each), 5 ...

... poor university residences, the state subsidise the university restaurants and canteens. Friday, for example, I had couscous, carrots, runner beans and a beautiful piece of fish, followed by a piece of bread, a slice of tarte aux pommes and a small bunch of grapes, for 2,90€. Aixellent. Just need to balance the mentalities of trying to get a good grade, but at the same time knowing that this semester is only worth 3% of my whole degree, so it's time to relax before ...

... came down near us but we were lucky and just got debris on us. But enough whining about the weather.
Avignon is extremely beautiful and we have a lovely view at night of all the castle etc all lit up as we are camped on a sort of island in the Rhone. We arrived yesterday and explored the town and went to the Popes palace which is the best preserved castle of its age in France. We then ...

... the word until he eventually threw his hands up and yelled out, "OH in-TER-net!". Ok now despite his slight French accent, he pretty much said it in exactly the same way as we had been for the past 5 minutes. So we were all a bit confused by that encounter but glad to have directions for an in-TER-net cafe.

However our problems didn't end there. His directions were... confusing at best. We found ourselves wandering the streets of Avignon with no ...

... and other flavours and spices that were divine. There were also chips and mayonnaise, and more bread with the mussels so we rolled home very content! There was free internet at the hotel but we were so tired we DIDNT USE IT!!!!!!!!!!! This is something we have come to yearn for as Italy and France are so freaking expensive but alas. So the next morning we walked back through the **** and hobos and took the train to Nice, passing Cannes along the way!
