... 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 ...

NO MARSEILLE for us!!! The captain went by when we had 21 foot waves and winds of 50 gusting to 65. It was sunny but not good enough to dock in Marseille, so on to Barcelona we go. In spite of it, we had a great relaxing day and i had a 3 hour nap this afternoon. Naps are totally not my thing but apparently i was exhausted from our whirlwind schedule. Anyway, nothing exciting. We have seen numerous people in arm slings and just ran into a woman in a ...

... yesterday, Saturday, and it is cooler but still nice. The trip here was spectacular with many olive groves and big mountains. Today we went on a tour to Les Beax - another medieval town with a castle - poor Graham and on his birthday too. Then we went winetasting and to the premier olive oil producers in France. The Mistrql was blowing on the tour and it was very cold but warmer back here in the camp. Tomorrow we explore Aix on foot then we go to Avignon.

... myself to one a day for the sake of conscience. They’re the thin kind, too, so usually come folded like a paper airplane or even rolled up tortilla-style. Of course there are lots of Maghribian dishes in the Arab quarter- couscous etc., but that requires actually sitting down… ahem. Easier are the taboules and other salads available in the grocery stores. At least a steady diet of vitamins has finally ...

... of white limestone blocks. Clear glass in the few windows. I challenged myself to try and come up with interesting photos to pass the time. The central cloister did have a little garden, so that made up for missing the one yesterday in Aix.

If you wish to visit the Abbey yourself during the high season, visit the web site to purchase tickets in 48 hours in advance. The tours are very limited and are only in French ...

... miles on and he was still only 3 cars in front of us.

Aix has a gorgeous fountain in a circle named for Charles de Gaulle. The guide book told us that also nearby was a fountain that was naturally hot. Water comes out at 93 degrees and the fountain is covered with moss. The moss part was correct, but I walked over and stuck my hand in the water and it was 50 degrees, tops. The streets and buildings and churches in Aix were all very nice. The orange-yellow ...

... where the man needs two women to scrub him down, rinse him off, then… hmmm, it’s starting to sound better. Every time I think of a bidet, I think of Henry Miller’s Tropic.

My hotel apparently even has a language test, which I barely passed. First she tells me she has no room, and then changes her mind when I inquire about the next day. The only problem is Internet. WiFi is not standard in anything less than $100/night and no ...

... simply because you are foreign, do not tolerate it. Take your arm, extend it, and push him back behind you or off to the side. If he attempts to break the line again (and he will), repeat as necessary along with loud English. Eventually he will see you are not a pushover tourist.

(2) If you approach a service desk and the clerk ignores you, wait about 60 seconds. He or she might be busy (highly doubtful but possible). If ...

... black cat that was hanging out near the restaurant at lunch that made me miss mine! P.S. Mom, yes and yes. Just let me know how much. Becky's Daily Recap Highlights: The wine tasting was very nice, but I loved lunch and everything about it. The atmosphere was wonderful and the food was wonderful, too. Lowlights: I really wanted a crepe, but I was too full! Hopefully I can find one tomorrow in our last port.

... desperately tried to wolf down my cheap cheeseburger before she had a chance to snatch it too. sigh. stayed at La Fourmi something, a pretty hostel nestled away down a street. the public transport was easy to use, but it was still a considerable walk from the bus stop. i also went diving at les calanques, the beautiful limestone cliffs off the coast of Marseilles. this concludes my trip to France. SIGH!!!
