A Visit From Friends

Chen got into Aix around 10am.

At first she called me and I was somewhere completely different from her. But eventually I figured out where she was and we met up at the rotonde for a much needed hug! I took her back to my apartment and went to class. I have no idea what we did. I think I was budgeting out trips in my notebook instead of listening. Oh well. I got back home and Chen, Marley, and I grabbed some lunch and then went back to the apartment to hang out.

Nathan got into Aix around 4:45pm. At first we didn't see him anywhere which was odd because there are very few over 6 feet tall blonde guys strolling around the Mediterranean. Just as we were convinced that he took the wrong train, we saw his hair! A shining beacon of light! Chen and I ran up to him and hugged him. Then it was time for crepes!! For those that do not know, Chen is studying in Paris and Nathan is studying in Switzerland. Chen speaks French, Nathan does not. So we went to get our crepes and I had to order for Nathan which was fun. He got this "African" crepe which was just chocolate with a massive amount of whipped cream on the top. The same whipped cream fell out into my hands as Chen took a bite out of it. Awesome... Actually it was because then I used it on my crepe! Ha!

We went back to my apartment for a little bit and then it was time to eat again. I feel like that was a common theme this weekend... We finally decided on this restaurant on the Cours Mirabeau. Chen and I had rosotto and Nathan... cheese pizza. It was really funny because he wanted to order himself so we taught him how to saw 4 cheese pizza and a coke in French. It went well until he forgot how to say the second part. We may or may not have laughed at him :) We went back home and decided to plan out our Saturday. The original plan was Monaco but then all the spaces on the tour were full. After going through several options on the train website and a very strange phone call to a not so friendly guy in Cassis, we picked Cannes. Then we decided it would be a great idea to go out with friends. Aside from the fact that we had to get up at 5am and we went to bed at 2am, it was a great idea! We, not Nathan, got  a free bottle of champagne. Apparently this bar we go to has a "Desperate Girls" special where if 5 or more girls show up together before midnight on a Friday they give you a bottle of free crappy champagne! We went to another bar after that to go dancing a bit and then finally we knew it was time to get at least some sleep.

5am. Shower time! We made it to the train station (after running through Aix) about 10 minutes before our scheduled departure time. That's when it all began. Despite the fact that we had purchased our tickets with an American card, the machines at the train station would not recognize the American card and therefore would not give us our tickets! And, to top it all off, because the train left at 6am the tellers we not there yet. Too early. We decided that best we could do was to run outside to the platforms and find the train and try to explain using Nathan's handy iPhone which had our confirmation email on it. We thought we found the platform but then Nathan realized we were on the wrong one and it was running time again! We found the train and I explained our situation to the train guy who told us to get on. Whew! The train rides were pretty uneventful and we all tried to sleep a little on the way to Cannes.

9:45am Cannes! We stepped outside the train station and boom! Brad Pitt.

 Haha jk but we did spend the rest of the day making Brad Pitt Comments. We went to the office of tourism and got some quick advice on what to do for the day and head out on our first mission: Bathrooms! But that turned into food as soon as we found this incredible pastry shop. Chen got a delicious eclair. We walked down the cool older part of town with narrow streets- a lot like my side of Aix- that had a lot of smaller, less expensive shops. They had France version of the dollar store... everything for 2 euro! Then we found a place to get food. Nathan and I had croque madames and Chen had this seafood dish of some kind. The food was really good and surprisingly not expensive, especially considering the location. After we ate we were sitting there chatting and they put the empty plates on the little elevator they used to transport food from the kitchen to the dining room, and we heard this really loud clanging and the sound of glass breaking. The elevator thing had broken and sent all of our stuff crashing down. Luckily it was after we ate and not before!! Unfortunate for the restaurant, but really funny to us.

We walked by that really cool building ( <---  ) which has tons of paintings of famous movies characters like R2D2 and Charlie Chaplin, Rose and Jack from Titanic, Roger Rabbit, etc. I put a bunch of closer up images of this one facebook, but it was really neat. You can actually take a Cinema Tour of Cannes. I bet it would've been pretty interesting but none of us wanted to pay for it. Then we found the road we were looking for!

 To the castle! We walked up this giant incline/hill to an old castle that overlooks the city. It was really neat, but as soon as we got up to the castle, hurricane force winds began! The museum was closed, but the view was awesome! All of the pictures of us are funny because our hair was going everywhere. I got some good shots of Nathan jumping off of this wall. Then there was this really random old wall fragment of the castle that we walked up on. Even windier! We survived the winds and walked down to the port where big money was everywhere. Totally full of yachts. You can pretty much walk up and touch any of them... security was minimal, or at least visible security. It was madness. Speaking of madness.. as we were walking back from the last row of yachts this guy approached us. Now, for those of you who have seen the movie Aladdin, there is the part where Aladdin is chained up in jail and Jafar, disguised as an old man, tricks Aladdin into going into the cave. In this scene Jafar is super thin, has a really long tangly beard, and crazy teeth. The man that approached us, looked just. like. that! He was wearing a long green trench coat, had the Jafar look, and a rainbow umbrella. That was all weird enough and then he told us how the day before there had been a rainbow and that it was a bad sign. Them something about great sailing weather (despite the rain and crazy wind...). Then in mid sentence he just left and started down the street towards another guy who had been walking along the coast... Odd.

Next stop: Croisette Casino! Playground of the rich and famous, Chen, Nathan, and Olivia. We were a little nervous to walk in because, hey, it is really nice in there! We went in and it was super nice, but all the tables and vip rooms were closed. The slots were open so we proceeded to delight ourselves by gambling away 10 Euro each! Yes. Perfect! Actually it was really fun and my only regret was that I let the voucher get down to 0 instead of 1 centime because then I could've kept the voucher as a souvenir! But after a while we left the casino and it had started to pour outside. We ran around for a bit, but I was the only one with an umbrella so we ducked into a tabac/cafe and had crepes and ice cream. Actually Nathan had 4 crepes lol! Then we went on an adventure to find umbrellas and new shoes for Nathan. All he had were canvass ones that were completely soaked at this point. So we did some shopping and some more chocolate eating before we all decided it was time to go down to the water. I mean, we are already soaked! We went down to the water and touched the Mediterranean. We kind of gave up on trying to find the celebrity hand prints because we were so cold but then Nathan looked down where we were walking and there they were!! Woo!

We took some pictures of those and then when we had decided it was time to go and buy dry socks we found it- the Cannes Red Carpet. We had a nice photo shoot there before we went on the sock quest. Success! So we took our new socks and went to the train station. Once we got on the train we all took off our nasty wet socks and changed into new socks. It felt really, really nice! The train ride was uneventful but when we got to Marseille we decided to take the 5 euro bus back home instead of waiting 2 hours for the train. Seemed like a brilliant idea. It was, actually, until the bus driver, in typical French fashion, just decided to drop us off at some stop that wasn't actually the REAL stop. He pulled up to this stop in Aix and nobody moved (there were like 8 people left on the bus) and then he yelled and said we had to get off. So, we all got off and as soon as the bus pulled away I realized I had no idea where we were. At all. Long story short, we had to ask directions and then we walked about 30 minutes in the rain to my apartment. So much for the nice dry socks...

But all in all it was a wonderful weekend and it was great to see two of my best friends from home! I can't wait to see them both again very soon :)

Love you and miss you!

You win, Mont Sainte Victoire

Well we decided to climb a mountain.

Mont Sainte Victoire in particular. For those of you who don't know, Sainte Victoire is an 18 kilometer limestone mountain ridge in the south of France. It is about a 20-25 minute drive from Aix and is beautiful. You can also find the mountain in many of Cezanne's paintings because he had a little studio up in the mountain there! 

Our adventure began at 10:00 in the morning where we all met at the rotonde to get on the bus. Problem #1: There is more than one bus stop at the rotonde and none of us really knew which was the right one. Well we waited for a while and the bus was supposed to come at 10:15. We saw it at 10:15 as it sailed by the empty bus stop across from us. Shucks! 

We all decided to just go warm up a bit and then meet back at the proper bus stop at 11:15 for the next bus. When we got back at 11 we had all changed our outfits and put on more layers because we were all colder than we thought. 11:15 went by and still no bus. Someone checked the schedule aaaaaaand the bus on Sunday doesn't come until 12:30. Oops. Back to the apartment again!! We actually made a much-needed detour to the pastry shop near my apartment. I got a frambolotine or something like that. It is essentially a pasty with raspberry jelly on top of chocolate mousse on top of chocolate brownie. Wonderful. I couldn't eat it all because it was so rich, but that just means I'll have more for later :) 

Alright so we finally made it on the bus at 12:30 and the real adventure began! The bus driver drove like a maniac. He was driving so fast on all of these twisty roads and sharp curves that went to the countryside. It was frightening to say the least. I think we were all really happy to actually make it to the mountain! 

We started up the mountain (after Allie bought the 5 euro map!! Insane). I was in the lead at first and I was keeping us at a pretty good pace. We stopped pretty early on to shed 2 or 3 layers because it was so hot. Well it was probably warm and we were climbing, but still. We kept going for a while and thought we were following the right trail. We were following the right trail at least as far as the guy at the visitor center told us. We actually took a wrong turn after a while and had to double back. Then we got on the "right" path and headed straight up. The goal was to get to this big cross on the very top of the mountain. Well after a while the path got super narrow and full of these dumb pokey thorny bushes. Then it was time to scale the rocks. I felt like spiderman haha! But I made it up there without falling or slipping actually. It was pretty scary. Then the real problem began. While we were experiencing amazing views and mountains and a beautiful sky with no clouds at all, we soon discovered that we were on a big ledge with no more path! Allie found a tiny little pathway and the ever so helpful arrow was on the rock in front of her pointing up. Apparently we had been climbing on the rock climber pathway and had reached the point where we were expected to get out our gear and go straight up. Oh boy.

We decided to eat lunch and then head back down. The down part was a little scary. Lots of slipping and sliding. Then we headed in the opposite direction, still trying to get to the top. The trails were long and we were hiking so fast! I slipped a few times but only got some minor scrapes. Then once we got to this trail that started going up pretty steeply, I bit the dust! I fell straight onto my ankle and then put my hand down to catch myself. It hurt. I have this lovely gash and big bruise on my ankle to show for it. But, despite that I kept going. Probably a mistake because it hurt but I was determined to make it to the top. My determination didn't last very long and then we made it to this sign that said that the top was another 1.5 hours. The bus came before that so we had to turn back. Then I fell again and hit my back on this huge rock. Another ouch :( 

We were going at a really fast pace to get to the bottom of the mountain because we wanted to make the 5:25 bus. We made it back down (without any more major wipeouts from me!!!) at 5:20. Then we waited for the bus. There were others waiting too so we knew we hadn't missed it. Then 5:45 came and we knew we had a problem. Long story short, the visitor center guy informed us that the bus driver just forgot to do his route at the time. WHAT? Only in France... So our options were to either ride in the car with the visitor center guy to this little town and then take a bus to Aix or wait an hour for the next bus. Allie, Jessica, and Marley went with the guy. Then we got a phone call 20 minutes later. After he dropped them off they found out that the little town had no more buses left for Aix so they had to call a cab. We waited for the 6:30 bus. 

The bus finally came at 6:35, which might have been the time it was supposed to, not sure. We saw it and got really excited because we were all freezing and it was pitch black. We jumped up and down and waved in excitement an the bus headed towards us. It was going really fast. Then we realized it wasn't planning on slowing down. We had to jump out of the way or get hit! Thank goodness we all made it out of the way in time. I think Leigh scraped her leg though... Anyways we got on the bus and had another tumultuous ride back.

In the end I'd say this one goes to the mountain. Maybe next time if we get an earlier start and a better read of the map we can win the next one! 

Here are some pictures from the day:

What? I have to take classes while I'm here?

The title pretty much says it all. 


Let's be honest, this whole "study abroad" concept would be far better minus the study part. Like I said in the last post, I picked classes. Well, I did a terrible job. I don't have any classes on Mondays or Wednesdays which is nice, but the rest of the week is enough to make up for that! 


The first class I went to was Tuesday at 9am. It's called (roughly) Hell and Heaven, a history of man: literature of the middle ages. Yes. There are 2 professors for the course and they both seem really nice and, more importantly, quite sympathetic to the plight of the poor foreign student. It's split into two halves, literature and iconography of heaven and hell in the medieval times/middle ages. At first this class scared me to death because it is a whopping 4 hours long! They started out with a introduction and gave us the "bibliography" which is this huge list of books that you can use as references. It isn't at all like the states where you get a book list and you buy them. Basically you have to go to the library here to look at the books and take notes. I think I'm against that concept in general but we'll see... Anyways during the class I had already decided to drop it because it seemed really not that fun haha but maybe it was because it had already been 3 hours? After the 3rd hour I felt like my butt was cemented to the chair. Little did I know that that class was a vacation compared to what came next... 


France and Europe: The fall of the monarchy to the fall of the napoleon era. Terrible, really. We had class in this huge huge room so naturally I assumed there would be a lot of students. Wrong. There were maybe 15 of us and a lot were Americans from the program. I had such high hopes for this class and the prof walked in and began rattling away immediately. She talked so quietly and so fast. Then she took attendance and got this look on her face because of the amount of American students. Because we are American she said that she assumed we knew nothing about the French Revolution. How kind. Then she introduced the course a little bit and said we each had to do a 20 minute oral presentation on one of the days. I ended up volunteering to give the one next Tuesday. Why? Yeah, I know it sounds ridiculous but I looked through the documents and the one on Tuesday was the only one written by someone I had heard of before. Madness anyhow. But then it was down to business and she just started lecturing away, rarely taking a pause to answer question or breathe. Her voice trailed off at the end of sentences and made it so difficult to take notes. I think the vast majority of the things I wrote down ended in " . . . " because I couldn't understand her. That class is a definite no-go. I guess they'll have to do without my brilliant 20 minute commentary on document 4 on Tuesday... 


No class Wednesday but I finally did laundry! Woo :) I love clean clothes! 


Today I had social and cultural history of France in the 19th century. It was the first good class from the start. The professor is really easy to understand. There are also a lot of other foreign students in that class. We have to compose 2 works, 2 pages long, in groups about topics that we chose. I think my group has dialects and then ... something else haha I have no idea! Then we have to give an oral presentation with a partner. Marley and I go fairly soon. I think ours is on French territories and rural something or other? I swear these are written down somewhere so don't worry!! The grade is composed of those assignment and then a final exam. It seems like it will be a good class! Yay!!! 


History of the rural world from Antiquity to our days. Odyssey number 3, really. I went to the 4th floor of this building, which is really the 5th floor to go to the class. People were inside already having a class so I thought I had read the number wrong. I walked back down to the first floor only to find that I was correct, as far as the posting in the history department said. I climbed back upstairs and waited awkwardly for other students to arrive. I kept checking my watch... 12h40..12h45..12h50... 12h55. Only one other girl but she wasn't sitting by the classroom! Let the panic commence!!! Then at 13h05ish a professor-like woman- actually she looks kind of like a witch if witches wore many shades of purple and wore black patterned tights- went up to the classroom. She went in and then noticed the other "class" going on and then came back out. She asked me if I was waiting for the rural class and I said yes and so did the other girl sitting farther down the hall. Then she was like well I'm not quite sure why there are people in our room, but the real problem is that you two are the only ones in this class! Just two! More Panic. She started asking us both questions and found out I was American. She said we would go ahead and talk about the class a little bit (she kicked the other people out) and stop at 14h instead of 16h for the day. Basically she informed us that she was most likely going to get rid of the class and if we wanted to stay in we'd have to go to the one in the mornings (when I have the other class). That totally sucked because she was super nice and easy to understand. She talked a little bit about the subject and then said she would be gone next week but would email us about the future of the class. Crap. But, one good thing did happen. She told me that I spoke really well and only with a small accent, especially in comparison to other Americans! Woo go me. I managed to speak well even though I was panicking haha! 


So I came home after that and had some nutella to clear my mind! Yes, that is my excuse. I decided that I'm going to go to this History of the Industrial Revolution class on Tuesdays instead of the France and Europe nightmare. So I'll have Medieval Lit and Industrial Revolution Class on Tuesday, French Culture class and Oral Expression on Thursday, and dumb program course on Friday mornings. Not too too bad! 


Speaking of classes, I should probably go to my last one! Hope you're all having a wonderful week :)


Miss you and love you,

Trip to Marseille and More!

Hello there everyone! I'm sitting here in this great creperie place using their internet. The internet saga continues in Aix! It's always something around here.. geez!

Well the intensive course is over, thank goodness. It was actually quite stupid. Big waste of time but I will definitely take the 1 credit and leave a happy camper. I picked my classes the other day. We had to schedule a ton of them, I picked 19 credits worth and my roommate was forced to picked 23 credits worth. In France you cannot add classes you can only drop, so the idea is that you pick more classes than you intend to stand in and then you can drop the ones you hate! We're having lots of problems (as usual) with courses because apparently if there are a lot of Americans or foreign students in one class, the professor can just kick all of you out. PC? Not so much lol!

Anyways I picked 3 history courses, 2 literature courses, a speaking class, and the program class.. I think that's it? But I fully intend on not taking one of the lit classes or the speaking class. I should end up with 14 credits and class only on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday morning! Woo permanent 3-day weekend! Let the traveling begin...


Speaking of traveling... we went to Marseille this weekend. It was amazing because it was nearly 70 degrees outside! In January. We took a boat ride to this really neat island. The views of the Mediterranean were wonderful. I took plenty of time to remind myself that I was on a boat, in the Mediterranean, in January. Fantastic! Once we got to the island we climbed some mountainous terrain (all of us in our stylish boots lol wonderful for climbing). After that we went to this restaurant, port-side, and got some food. We waited an hour to get food. It was absurd. Boo France. But the good news is that the lasagna I had was AMAZING. I loved it. I was sorely disappointed that I was unable to finish it all. It was a monstrous piece. We went to a cute little museum afterwards and saw some Italian art and then up to this church that overlooks Marseille. That place was really, really cool. The inside of the church was super elaborate. I have some pics below.. enjoy :)

fish market!

The Land of the Inconvenient!!!!!

Well it has definitely been a few days since I updated but it has been quite busy for me! Marley and I finally found an apartment. It is really great (at least we think so) and I've put some pictures for you all to see for yourselves.

Our bedroom :) Marley's bed is the one the farthest from the door!

 Marley in the living room/kitchen

 The kitchen!

 bathroom.. super big tub for France

Our desk and armoire thing

So we moved into our lovely apartment and finally got to unpack. I was super happy about that! We had some of our friends over because initially we had internet access. The landlord gave us the free wifi code and it was working for a good 2 hours. Then it stopped. Awful. It hasn't worked like that since then. So we decided to go to the internet place and talk to them about what we should do. We ended up getting this aircard type thing for the 15 days that we have to wait for the internet access to be up. We were all excited and took that home and surprise surprise.. it doesn't work! Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. That was so annoying.

Later that night we went out! It was soooo fun! People met at our apartment for drinks first and then we headed out to the bars :) It was awesome. The bars were packed. The streets around them were packed. It's so freaking cool. After we spent some time there we decided to go to a club. We were there until about 4:15am... dancing like maniacs the whole time woo!!! :) Marley and Jess actually met the owner and his cousin and they gave us 3 free bottles of champagne and some other stuff! Awesome!!!! 

Sunday was such a lazy day because everything is closed and going to bed at 5am definitely moved back the wake-up time. We lounged around the apartment until like 3 and then decided to go on a walk. We bought some bread and wandered around a bit. It was a pretty nice day. Then we went back home to prepare for our Sunday dinner!!! Some of the girls from the program came over and we all pitched in for a potluck dinner. We had pasta with butter sauce and spices, roasted veggies, bread, couscous, and then lots of desserts. Yummy :) Everyone stayed a little longer after dinner and we talked about all of our travel wishes! Of course there are a million places that we all want to go so we'll see. Afterwards the internet was making me really mad so I went to bed kind of pissed off at France in general! 

Woke up this morning for our first class and I wanted to straighten my hair and guess what??!? I blew a fluse! Great. So my straightener is now dead. Awesome start to the day. Then we walked to the University and had the most pointless elementary French class that is a required class of the course. So stupid and long. To top it all off, it was FREEZING in the room. Finally that class was over and we had a 3 hour meeting for the program. Luckily that meeting was in a computer lab so I just got on facebook and my email. They were saying really pointless things anyways. Then they taught us how to look for classes and of course that is really annoying as well. It's kind of a dumb process and it's difficult to navigate. To make is worse like NONE of the classes that stupid IU said were available were actually available. Great. Now I really have no idea what classes I'm going to take so we'll see...

After that we left and walked back to the internet place. After waiting a good 25 minutes we went up and apparently the woman from Saturday sold us the wrong SIM card for the aircard thing. Grrrreat. But they gave us a new one and it connected so we went on our way. Got home and it is not working either. UGGGGGH. Now I'm at Boca Loca with some of the girls just eating some good ol' mexican food and blowing off some steam. I have to say that France is just ridiculous with some things and it frustrates me. A lot. lol

Still having a nice time just irritated with the inconvenience! 

Should be headed to Monaco next Saturday (Marseille this Saturday)

Update soon :) 

Love you and miss you!!!!! 

I made it to France.. but did my bags?

I made it! France is still here everyone, so no worries!

I flew with two other girls from IU, Allie and Hillary, from Indy to St. Paul, St. Paul to Paris, and Paris to Marseille. Leaving was really tough but that wasn't a surprise. I did my best to pull it together but I cried until I got to the scanners at security. I think the inevitable stress of going through security probably took my mind off of some of the sad things. The first flight was pretty uneventful.. we were a little delayed but I feel like all flights these days seem to be delayed. The flight to Paris was long and I was freezing cold the entire time! They showed three movies and so I saw the Social Network for the first time. It actually wasn't that bad at all. The food on the plane wasn't that bad. The brownie they gave us was perfect because I cried again when I had to turn off my phone for good. Comfort food is the best :)

We got into Paris when it was still dark and no matter how hard we looked we really couldn't recognize any of the major monuments.. fail! We had about a 3 hour layover and then the plane was delayed. I barely remember the flight to Marseille because I just kept falling asleep! I do remember looking out of the window and seeing this really green and beautiful scenery.. but then I fell asleep again. I woke up when we landed in Marseille and we were so very happy to be done with the whole plane business for the day. We got one of those baggage dollies and waited for the baggage to come. We all got our first bags in no time.. seemed like a good sign, right? Wrong. Eventually the carousel stopped moving and along with about 20 other people we marched over to the Air France lost baggage claims place. They were pretty friendly and said that most likely the bags were in Paris but did not make it in time from customs to be loaded on to the plane. I find this to be exceptionally stupid because the delay even gave them an extra hour! Typical France... completely inefficient! They took our information and we gave them the address to the hotel and they said we might even get them this afternoon! (We did not! Hmph!) We took a cab from Marseille to Aix-en-Provence.. I think it was about 25-30 minutes in the cab?

Allie and I checked into the hotel, but we're in different rooms. My roommate is actually one of the Michiganers and so that is cool! After I got my stuff in the room Allie and I went to find some food. We ended up meeting with my hotel roommate Ashley and her friend, Matt, at a pub. We had these pizza-like things and drinks. It was pretty good.. not the best but I was starving so that made it even better. Afterwards Allie and I had Nutella crepes. Amaaaaaaazing as always. ahh. I enjoyed every single bite to the fullest!

Later we went and hung out with Allie's hotel roomies who are both from IU. Then we tried to go find the apartment where these other girls are staying. This adventure turned into us just walking in basically a giant loop around Aix. No apartment to be found! The funniest thing happened though because the main street has lots of trees with these beautiful lights on them and so naturally there are a lot of birds. Well as we were walking Marley started saying "Oh my God! Oh my God... what is in my hair? Did a bird just poop in my hair?" ... Answer? Yep!!! Hahahaha it was sooo funny. Then about 10 minutes later something from the trees fell into Jessica's hair. Not poop, thankfully. After the poop fiasco we walked to this store and the girls bought some wine and cork screw. We took it back to the hotel and sat around drinking our Bordeaux and talking about all the great places we want to visit. I can't wait :)

Tomorrow is the guided tour of aix and a few other things.. hopefully that will help me not get so lost. The city is really neat and the streets are all cobblestone. The buildings, especially at night, look fake... kind of like sets on the Hollywood back tour. They look straight out of some quaint movie. I love that! I also love the main street because it's lined with trees which are all lit up from the holidays. There is this giant fountain at the end too which is really pretty! Can't wait to see what else is here tomorrow!

Hopefully I'll have time to update soon :)

Miss you all.

Love,

  Liv
