J'attends (I am waiting)

As my lovely older sister so kindly pointed out to me, all my posts so far are mainly about food. Haha, typical. That is France, though. This will be a short post because my life has been boring since the other night. Not so much boring to me but rather, boring to those of you who bother to read about my life. Yesterday and today I did my typical reading, walking, going to the beach routine. However, this morning I did have a new experience...
I woke up pretty early today, and after some breakfast got ready to walk into town. After wandering the streets for a good 20 minutes, I finally found was I was looking for: the Wednesday market. Every Wednesday there is a market full of all sorts of goodies to buy. I walked down the hot, extremely crowded street seeing bright clothes hanging from tents and laid out on the tables. I smelled Provencal herbs sitting in their little canisters, waiting to accompany some delicate French cuisine. Swimsuits, shoes, touristy items-such as I heart St. Tropez shirts-the works. A fun place to go. I did not buy anything today but went as a bystander to witness the crowded open air Wednesday market. Perhaps next time.
Tomorrow is le rentree for me; the return to school, or in my case the beginning of a completely new school where I won't understand most students who are three years younger than me. I'm really excited though! School will push me to learn the language faster, I do believe. I will definitely post about my first day. For now, that's all.

  1. I like your blogs. They make me hungry, for sure, but you're one of the best (and most consistent) bloggers I'm keeping up with. I appreciate it.
    Also, it sounds like loads of fun!!
