So the internet at my house hasnt been wroking all this past week and weekend so sorry I havent been able to update you. I promise Ill put up pictures as soon as I can use my computer at home.
This past weekend was beautiful. On Sunday two of my friends (chloe and sarah) and I all went and climbed the famous Mt St Victoire which, if you didnt know, Paul Cezanne painted over 180 times. We didnt climb all the way up to the top (being that we somehow didnt follow a path) but it was still an amazing experience. I took a snail shell that I found at the bottom to keep as a souvenir and took plenty of pictures.
Yesterday, while walking around the market, we saw a man who was being followed by a xhole crowd of people and cameras. Earlier on the walk some random guy handed me an advertisement but I just put it in my pocket and paid no mind to it. I remembered that and pulled it out. The guy walking the streets was the man on the paper...he was the President of the Region. As he got closer to us Chloe took out her camera to sneak a photo...he saw us and came over and talked to us (in french). The other two were so shocked they didnt say anything but I did haha. He shook all of our hands, asked us where we were from, told us he loves American Students, people took pictures and then he gave us all kisses on the cheeks and went on his way. It was so cool!!!
This next week coming up we have our winter break. For that Im going to Barcelona and then Vienna for a Dave Matthews Band concert with my housemate and some friends...it should be a blast!! Ill keep this updated after the trip
