Bonsoir!
Life in Cannes is still treating me well. Yesterday, spent some time walking around town, just observing the culture, and eating my first crepes of the trip avec mes amis (with my friends) Meredith et Ashley!

Then spent some time watching Grey's Anatomy in French last night with friends...was quite the experience and actually very enjoyable!
Today was another day of class--I'm learning a lot, just still struggling to form my own verbal conversation. I can comprehend, just not converse. It's very interesting and hard to believe I have learned so much in being here for so little time...just a week as of tomorrow! Can't wait to see what this rest of the semester brings.
This afternoon we decided to go adventure around the city and visit an old ch
âteau (castle) which has a museum and gorgeous views. The museum was interesting, but the views from the top of the old lookout tower were just breath taking. Words can't do it justice, so I will just have to leave it to the pictures to attempt and speak of how beautiful it is here.

| Beautiful creation |
Perfect finish to the day-Natalie, Ashley and I stopped in at a beach-front cafe for some gla
cée et caf
é (ice cream and coffee). We then proceeded to peacefully sit for another 30 minutes, people watching and being graced by the presence of the gorgeous sunset seen above. Be still. Be simple.
French word(s) for the day: "marche aux puces" which means flea market...they even have them here in Cannes!
