Aix en Provence

Another very cute, quaint little town tucked away in Southern France, just North of Marseille. It's more of a wandering city, tons of little shops and places to perch outside and watch the world go by. Luckily, not too many photo ops since I don't have a camera; again, it's a city more for wandering and enjoying the town rather than sightseeing. Unfortunately, I chose to visit on a Sunday, when everything is closed. They had a very cool antique market lining the major pedestrian thoroughfare, and had I lived nearby or had the means to ship things, I could have done some damage. Lucky for my wallet--neither were true. So, after window shopping all I could, I sat down to read a magazine, people watch, and enjoy a glass of champagne on a lovely Sunday afternoon. The clouds took over eventually and the breeze turned from warm to cool, so I hightailed it back to the train station and made it home before any rain started. Hopefully it passes me by altogether. Headed for a few days on the beach tomorrow and looking forward to soaking up some sun.

Happy Mother's Day to all of you mother's out there! Love you mom.
