... 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 ...

Over the last months of travel, we’ve met and talked with many people about what we’re doing. As you can imagine, we’re greeted with many responses. Most can’t fathom a trip without end or adgenda. Some say they admire what we’re doing. Setting off onour own, turning our back on convention and creating an adventure. Others think we’re fools. Although the woman who said that ...

... don't think the universities here really take the stance that treating students like adults is important, unhelpful when you bear in mind that most of the students stay at home during their time at uni, mainly choosing the one closest to where they live. Really not great for us third years who are studying along-side first years (oh we're so old...!). One thing I am very impressed with, on the other hand, is the canteens. To make up for the not-so-great universities, and ...

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 ...

... my traveler&#8217;s scurvy, so I&#8217;m feeling better internally, enlightened if not illuminated.<br><br>The only problem is WiFi. I change rooms but still no WiFi, even from a place that advertises it on the door, same with the café. This is getting frustrating. If you don&#8217;t have it, don&#8217;t advertise it. I really don&#8217;t want to have to badger anyone over it, but I&#8217;m running out of options ...

... how very many cafes there are. Of course, our real purpose was dessert. At the gelato stand Lucy got chocolate hazelnut and dark chocolate. I wanted to fit one more serving of fruit in for the day so I got passion fruit and lemon.<br><br>No pictures tonight...but here is a link if you want to read more about how those dainty little calisson are made: http://www.nytimes.com/1989/02/26/trave l/fare-of-the-country-provence-s-almond -calissons.html?pagewanted=all<br><br>< br><br>

... tickets to Paris for Friday. The station is very modern and spacious. People from throughout Provence take the train to work in various areas.  This is evidenced by the thousands of vehicles parked along the sidewalks of the surrounding area. Jean said the parking lots fill up quickly, so people just make a parking spot wherever they can find one. Looked to me as if they could use large parking structure. Once inside, Jean serves as ...

... it; for the amazing viez of the city. Back to Aix that night. the next day we headed to Arles; famed for Van Goughs work there. The next day we spent lazing by the pool at a gorgeous country club in Aix, zhere cute waitors took our drink orders, and the pool is an azure blue. Got a bit burnt, but its all part of ...

... pat dabar. Keliukas tikrai &#303;sp&#363;dingas. Kair&#279;je - aukstyn kalnai, desin&#279;je - zemyn j&#363;ra. Keliukas vingiuotas ir kalnuotas. Pats tas dziaugsmas vairuotojui, tik kad transporto priemon&#279; netinkama. 60 km/h grei&#269;io (tiesiosiose) virsyt tokiame kelyje nelabai ir norisi. O reikia skub&#279;t. Bet kadangi nuo Marselio iki Cassis apie 20 kilometr&#371;, kurortin&#303; miestel&#303; pasiekiam gana greitai.

... as my two scoops fell from my cone as soon as we left the shop and then they said there was no time to get another. i have a little tan, well for me anyway and am now hiding from the sun's rays so that i don't burn. I'm in an internet cafe in marseille that is so far from the hostel that it isn't on the map of the city. it took me almost an hour to get here, apparently it's one of the only ones. it suprises me that a town so reliant on the tourist trade is so ...
