What a week! It has been a week filled with logistical meetings, activities,
soirées, and funtimes. Aix is beautiful! And I have developed a new love....le marché! The open-air market is just such a wonderful place to be! The vendors are super nice, and you can find almost anything there - from gorgeous sunflowers, to brightly colored peppers, to loafs of bread and mounds of fruit. Even though I don't even really need to go to the marché to buy groceries, I go almost everyday just to walk around and experience the aixoise life.

This week, we also went to a
soirée chez Madame Masson. 21 students, plus their host families, plus some more, all piled into Madame Masson's beautiful apartment. The food was provençale, of course, with
l'entrée,
le plat principal,
fromage, and
dessert. We all had such a wonderful time, and the terrace offered a beautiful view of Mt. St. Victoire, off in the distance.

Today is the first time it's rained in Aix since we've been here! So it will be a nice lazy rainy Sunday. :) Next week, we will continue the hunt for classes à la fac, and our translation class will begin on Thursday/Friday.
À bientôt, et bisous!
I am becoming more and more convinced France is simply a land of bright vivid colors and absurdly delicious-looking food
