... enticing, so I join him.

Daniel is a biologist studying stress. He looks to be in his late 50s. He has a neatly trimmed mustache, a clean apartment with a stunning view of the city, and a dog the size of a small bear. He offers me some Calvados which I'm happy to accept. We watch TV, and chat for a bit. I take a shower, and then I'm on my way.

"When do you sleep normally?" I ask as I leave
"I don't know" he shrugs

What a bizarre encounter.

... tickets here than it would be at home – you just pop down to your local FNAC (the French WHSmith, without the pic 'n’ mix) and they have a section just for tickets to see shows, concerts, or sport. Tickets were relatively cheap too (probably something to do with us getting the ‘cheap seats’...) at 20€. Then all we had to do was get ourselves up to catch the bus early on the Saturday morning, something we are all proud we achieved ...

... 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 ...

... planning at all!

But tonight we’re talking a relaxing voyage by boat over the Medeterranian. Which will be followed by another. A few relaxing sailing days it would seems. Not exactly what I thought we were going to be doing, but it will work. We have our own berth with a shower and bed. Oh the luxuries never end! At least these 2 fools will rest well tonight and prepare for what lies ahead.

Not looking good for Team Anglais. However, we're all still determined to live the French way, avoid too much binge drinking, and enjoy 2 hour lunches with a bottle of wine. And to be fair, in general, all the people here are very friendly and happy to help us out! La belle France.

On Friday we went on a touristy trip organised by the ERASMUS and international students ...

... ish sort of building with amazing views. On the way back to the car we were dazzled by views and more views of the October countryside in all its glory. Provence does not suck. Rating 9.5. Lacoste is best known as ancestral home and stomping grounds of the infamous Marquis de Sade. What remains of his castle grounds are semi public but you cannot visit as some undoubtedly macabre individual actually lives here - we wonder what he does with all the whips and ...

... ruas do que pelas dicas). Fizemos um passeio no centro, depois paramos numa lan pra vermos hospedagem pros próximos dias. Vanessa tinha mandado mensagem, conseguimos falar com ela e ela nos convidou para ficar no apartamento dela que ela tinha acabado de alugar. Eu já tinha coneguido hospedagem com um csers, mas os planos eram de irmos embora no outro dia. Ficar na casa de Vanessa seria mais fácil para podermos ficar mais tempo juntas. Então aceitei o convite dela ...

... old, cobblestones streets and find new fountains everyday. Aix is know for there windy roads and unique fountain. I live in centre ville and I am very close to everything. I'm going to add more soon. Until then, enjoy the photos.

We had a lovely few days visiting our friend Nicci at her place in Aix-en-Provence, in the south of France. She was staying here for a few months to improve her French and soak up the lifestyle, which included living in villa with 8 university students on the outskirts of town ...
