It's been four days and I can't decide if it's flown by or feels like forever. Aix is a very small city, which is of course great for someone as directionally challenged as I am. Surprisingly I have actually pretty much figured out my way around. No mean feat for someone who manages to get lost in the city in which I've lived for twenty years, oops. I definitely think walking around makes it easier to find places. The city is gorgeous, of course, and has a very unique vibe. Apparently it's the second most expensive city in France after Paris. Sorry bank account.
Another interesting thing is that everyone here drinks Rose wine, it's apparently the it summer drink and it's too hot for white. Learning so much already!!
Class starts in two days and runs for four hours a day, five days a week. Not quite looking forward to that, but that's what it takes.
The food is amazing, one of my favorite things about France. I honestly could write a whole post just about the sandwiches I've eaten. Even the coke seems to taste better here. I haven't had a whole lot of time to wander around the city just on my own because we've been so busy with orientation and everything, so I am looking forward to getting out of class and being able to explore a bit.
As the French say: A tout a l'heure!
