We're gearing up for a weekend in Aix! Tomorrow we are going to the morning market in town to buy OM soccer gear to wear to the game tomorrow night! The atmosphere at these games is supposed to be really great, and we're not going to a game that is against a huge rival, so it shouldn't get violent either (I know that's what my parents are worried about haha). We bought nosebleed tickets for 20 euros, so that's not bad at all.
I couldn't tell you who we're playing, but we met one of the players, Loic Remy, in a club here in Aix. Turns out he's pretty well-known and quite good, so it will be fun to see him on the field.
On Sunday we are going to Nice just for a day trip to see the beginnings of Carnival! I'm really excited for that, but I have to be honest and say that I really don't know what to expect, other than maybe a semi-creepy parade. They really have a tendency to take their costumes and traditional stories here to a level of scary that we would never do to kids in the US. Oh well, that's France for you. Pictures will be up after the weekend!
