Last Sunday about 30 something people and myself went to a nearby city on the coast, La Ciotat. We first drove to a market on one of the ports, where we bought fixins' for our picnic that we would
have at a nearby park. I also bought some sunglasses at the market, but they broke about two hours later during our hike :( That's what I get for buying cheap sunglasses I guess.
So we took our picnic items (a baguette, roasted red pepper tapenade, chevre, kiwis, and sun dried tomatoes) to this gorgeous park and sat on a ledge overlooking the Mediterranean.
After the picnic we herded back onto the bus and drove a little while to get to the beginning of the trail for our hike. We had the pleasure of being guided by a very cute little French woman who enthusiastically educated us about our surroundings during the hike.
We climbed three different cliffs each with equally beautiful views of the area.
In other news, my roommate Maggie and I just bought our tickets to Holland for a three day weekend that we have in March. We will be flying into Eindhoven (cheap airlines can't quite get you to the most desirable cities.) From Eindhoven, we will take about an hour and a half long train into Amsterdam and stay for a couple of nights.
This Sunday I will be leaving for Porto, Portugal with four of my friends here. This ought to be exciting to coordinate with five people ;)I'm really excited though.
Not much else going on, just school and eating..always eating!
