Best Western Galice Aix-en-Provence

... 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 ...

... stay at this lovely lady&#8217;s home and forward onto Italy from another port<br>2) change destination to another port on Corse where there are more options for forwarding onto Italy<br>3) wait 2 days until there is a direct ferry from Marseille to italy (the one we thought we were on)<br><br>In the end we decided on No. 2. I was actually thankfull for once of Brian&#8217;s obsessive earliness as ...

... in a bit of culture. Before it closed, we made sure we went along to the Cezanne/Picasso exhibition, originals and all. The pieces were amazing up close, and we were able to recall some French cultural studies lectures...even though, of course, Picasso wasn't actually French, but we could recognise his influences! Definitely worth noting that the only reason we knew where the exhibition was taking place, was because we'd previously been on the little tourist train ...

Bonjour avec Aix-en-Provence Cherie<br>Since the last news we have visited the Cote D'Azur spending time at Monte Carlo and Antibes. We stayed near Antibes at a place called Biot and at night you could hear the seals at nearby Marineland - very strange. It was still quite hot and stickey with more mozzies. Monte Carlo was wall to wall money with billions of dollars in boats and cars. Antibes was similar but it had a lovely old town as well.<br>We arrived ...

... I don&#8217;t know if the DNA of pizza got transferred to the Arabs from Rome and then re-introduced to French via the Jews or what, but they&#8217;ve just about got it down, plentiful and cheap. The real meal deal is three full pies for &#8364;10, but the best buy for me is a quarter pie for about a single &#8364;, depending on toppings. One or two of those will pretty much fill you up, though I&#8217;ve resolved to ...

... courtesy of their housekeeper. The visit was far too short, but we had to get going because Jean wanted to give us a power tour of Aix en Provence and get back home before the rush hour traffic.  Aix is a beautiful old town with fountains galore, cobblestone streets and cafes by the hundreds. Once we parked the car, Jean was off on his high-speed walking tour and I was struggling to keep up ...

... cute little towns and visiting cute art shops, viewing exotic locally produced gastronomic products, smelling flowery sachets, and fondling expensive textiles, then Provence is the winner here. All those cutesy shops you see in Napa and Sonoma were inspired from here where they have been at it for a lot longer. So this is where it's at for that sort of thing. Additionally Provence has great hiking and we indulged in this a few times. Lovely ...

... and had to find the bus that would take us to the center of town. The bus was at the bottom of the train station, and the driver spoke very little English. All we knew was that we needed to break our big bills in order to ride, and we debated on going to the little bookstore in the station, or to the ticket counter. I did have to tell Geoff "I told you so" on that one, because I was right that the ticket counter would be able to ...

... to do so in the second semester? I didn't see anything wrong with the idea, but as to whether or not it was possible for me to switch from one program to the other was the big question. So, I called up my study abroad coordinator and I asked her about some of the study abroad programs in Spain. Well she told me that all the ones I was interested in were either too strict in regards to who they would let study regular courses and their host university or ...
