... t speak french: baguette, coffee, pan de chocolate, fresh squeezed oj, all fresh fresh fresh. Then we hit the market, vendors were begging us to try free samples of meat, cheese, honey, fruit, olives, you name it. Needless to say, we found our lunch for the day. <br>Oh; did I forget to mention it was Halloween? Not that it really matters, since the french do NOT really understand what halloween is. We decided to not even ...

... figured this out and got on the right boat - well, a different boat anyhow. <br><br>Driving onto the boat we followed the sign that said &#8216;Embarkments&#8217;. I love how so many words in French are similar to what we use in English, but with slightly different meaning. I certainly feel as though I am embarking on something this evening. Something completely new and unplanned - even to us who hardly do ...

... for a start, is very different, especially for languages. It seems that the French love grammar, and so Russian is becoming very tedious, having lectures on why each letter goes where. The written and spoken lessons are going pretty well though, and the teacher is great, though is mad about pronounciation and accent. This might be wrong of me to say, but when foreigners learn English, do they ever try and do an English accent and pronounce all the words properly? I ...

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 ...

... the outside of the cloister looking in. Apparently Granet missed the tour too. Very funny!<br><br>The sweet shops are so beautiful. Every little candy, every tea biscuit is a small work of art and they are displayed so elegantly and offered in sophisticated and attractive containers and arrangements. Each shop is special and feels like Mary Poppins might be there. We so wanted to buy cookies or caramels or calisson d'Aix or chocolate olives or something, but at ...

... But first, we went to visit Chateau Seneguier, the land that the Peytavin family owned for 200 years. On it sits two impressive castles separated by several acres of what were once fruitful vineyards.  As we viewed one of the castles from a distance, Jean pointed to one of the windows on the upper level and mentioned that that was his bedroom. I chuckled, thinking he was simply joking.  We later discovered that he was quite ...

... was very annoying, but Matt and I saw a really sweet funny dude do a really though out act with a bunch of props right next to the biggest church. That was sweet. Then, in the same day, we went to Le Pont Du Gard further inland. This is the largest remaining intact section of Roman aqueduct. It was really cool. I hiked up into the high cutties and got some good camera angles. Le Pont Du Gard, du Provence, was awesome. Back on the boat

... Kadangi apie Marsel&#303; gird&#279;jom ne itin teigiam&#371; dalyk&#371;, s&#303; miest&#261; pravaziuojam nestodami (neskaitant kams&#269;i&#371;, be abejo). O pervaziuot j&#303; truko gal dvi valandos, tod&#279;l visi jau jaut&#279;m&#279;s gerokai pavarg&#281; ir norintys &#303; dus&#261; ir miegot. Kempingo ir jame esan&#269;io duso nusprend&#279;m ieskoti Cassis miestelyje prie pat Vidurzemio j&#363;ros. Vienintel&#279; b ...

... lock your stuff except a small pay by the hour locker downstairs but that is not too suprising in france. the bathrooms are scary, one toilet is jammed locked and the other has had the toilet seat stolen. Why anybody whould need or want to steal a hostel toilet seat I'll never know. I went to dinner with a lady from my dorm on the beachfront and had pizza champinion. it was good but i got blisters on the bottom of my feet because she walks really fast and i was wearing my ...
