Marseille!




We had a trip with the program today and we went to Marseille. It was actually a way better trip than I thought it would be. In the morning we took a ferry to an island (where I guess they used to quarantine people before they could come to mainland France?) and it was incredibly beautiful. The water is so blue and it was so incredibly warm. We were wearing tshirts and were afraid of being sunburnt by the end of the day! And it's January! haha and I heard that it snowed six inches in Bloomington today so I definitely didn't mind being here!

We had lunch at a cafe overlooking the harbor, and had the traditionally terrible French service. It took us an hour and a half to get our food haha at least the weather was nice! We visited a museum for a little bit and then we saw the sun set at the Cathedral Notre Dame de la Gare. Incredibly beautiful all day and the views were amazing! I'm trying to put picures up here to show you how great everything was! Hope you love it!
