A La Plage

Today was our excursion to Camargue, which is a smallish town on the Mediterranean. Unlike yesterday, today was more about fun and less about scholarly pursuits. Although we did visit an 11th century Romanesque church, and even got to climb on the roof to take some pictures. But after that it was lunch and then off to the beach! The water is still pretty cold, but it provides a good break from the sun when you need it. So mostly we just hung out on the beach all day, got sunburned, joked around and played in the water, etc., until it was time to get on the bus to come home.

We made it back around 6, then found a little brasserie on the Place Pie (which is where most of the young people hang out) and the whole group ate dinner together. I had duck with some sort of mousse of vegetables, which was pretty good. Our waiter was awesome, joking around with us and basically just being a nice guy. All in all, a very good day.

After I nurse my sunburn, I'm going to head out with the other students to check out the nightlife a little. More details to follow.

I think that's all for now.

Love to you all!
