Boulevard Rene Chiari Marignane, Provence, France, 13700, 33-4-42-09-35-00
Really beautiful train ride along the coast (which in a way it is a shame that the railway is right on the beach) Marseille is a bigger city and not so quaint but the port area is nice. Flew out of Marseille to Lisbon. I know not quite geographically logicall
Marseille, Provence, France pathenger... even a few unaccompanied women sneak past.
After I've had enough excitement for the evening I walk back to the station to wait out the rest of the night. Its only 2am, so I've got some time to kill. I end up talking with an old man who is standing in front of the station smoking a cigarette. After a brief chat, he invites me back to his place to wait for my train. He seems friendly enough, and the prospects of waiting in the cold for three more hours aren't ...
... I don’t mean against) about the future of Europe and ideas of European citizenship, especially in the current uncertain international climate.
Enough of that political rant – Uni has been going relatively well, keeping me busy with assessments most weeks, Russian and History last week, and another Russian one this week. My marks are OK, and I’m not worrying too much about it, just doing the best I can...be bothered to do, although did very well ...
... 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.
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 ...
... write her address and draw a map I realized that something was terribly wrong. She drew a map of Corse (Corsca) - a little French island I the Medeterranian. We were headed to Corse, not Italy! The victim of not having an Italian map and too little internet time. Who knew? Propriano certainly sounds Italian to me…
We weighed our options:
1) continue on and cycle across Corse (2700m altitude ...
... poor university residences, the state subsidise the university restaurants and canteens. Friday, for example, I had couscous, carrots, runner beans and a beautiful piece of fish, followed by a piece of bread, a slice of tarte aux pommes and a small bunch of grapes, for 2,90€. Aixellent. Just need to balance the mentalities of trying to get a good grade, but at the same time knowing that this semester is only worth 3% of my whole degree, so it's time to relax before ...
Aix-en-Provence, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France cft89Bonjour avec Aix-en-Provence Cherie
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.
We arrived ...
... grise et du fameux carnet de passage en douane, le retour à Auriol est indiqué pour 21:00 par le fidèle GPS, qui en a vu d'autres! Le lendemain matin sera consacré au déballage de Big Toy et à la découverte par Maxence des trésors cachés dedans... Celà fera alors l'objet d'une vente à l'africaine, dont les bénéfices resteront dans la poche de Big Toy pour le soigner un petit peu. Dans les trésors, il y avait bien sûr une trousse de magie.....
Auriol, France jpbigan... a happy childhood that was, nevertheless, colored by her sense of not belonging. In her autobiography of those years, Among Friends, Fisher writes "The white children I knew when I was little had no need to be anything but well fed and secure in the best houses in town where they belonged to the best families.... Their ancestors, buried in the Whittier cemetery or along the routes to California, had given up other homes just as solid, positions just as secure, to live their ...
