Bonsoir mes amis!
Ce week-end a été un rêve. I just have to write in English to get this out of my system.
Vendredi: Very chill, I just laid low and enjoyed some time with friends on the beach later that night. The weather has been extension of summer, which is nice... but I really want fall. I want to break out the long sleeve shirts, jeans and sweaters.
Samedi: Saint-Tropez, mon Dieu! We took a lovely boat ride over; it felt being 8 years old on the Erica Lee II in Newburyport. Anywho, Saint-Tropez is wonderful. Another beautiful city on the French Riviera, and a ton of celebrities flock there. And no wonder, the shops are insane. You could easily spend hundreds on a few items, which I did not. I did have a wonderful lunch, tagliaterres au saumon. Basically, pasta with salmon. Success!
Dimanche: Well, unlike the majority of people, I did not rest on the Lord's Day. We hit up Monaco & Monte Carlo. I went to the Cathedral and saw Grace Kelly's tomb but very quickly; the crowds were awful. Basically this sanctuary has become nothing but a tourist attraction, it's kind of sad. Now I know why Westminster Abbey doesn't allow pictures; I mean, I love pictures of church interiors, but the sanctity is a bit sacrificed.
Monaco is another beautiful little country; the Casino was insane. After that we went to the village of Ѐze, where we toured a perfume factory/store, and walked up a hill to a medieval tower to get a 360 view. GORGEOUS. Pics will come up soon.
I purchased a wonderful bottle of cologne from the parfumerie, and I got a few satchels of lavender seeds. Lavender seeds= lovely scented clothes.
Whew. Classes this week, then Wednesday is Nice. Saturday we leave for Paris, and I'm so excited.
