Le Mistral Retourne

The vicious Mistral wind is back again. It was really making a racket last night; I finally had to resort to shutting my windows. But the wind is oh so lovely during the day! It's definitely a nice break from the heat.

Since it's Sunday, it was my day to sleep in and do a little homework. That's basically all I have done all day. And when I say "do my homework," I mean mess around on the Internet until I feel I can put it off no longer. But it gets done--these are skills that college has taught me.

Just got back from eating dinner. I was at the table alone this evening, as Corine had a big lunch and wasn't hungry. So I warmed up some salmon (and drenched it in lemon juice, of course), made a HUGE salad, had an apple, some bread, and that mock-tiramisu thing that has become my new favorite thing ever. It was so peaceful just to sit and enjoy a meal on the patio in the lingering warmth of the day, and not have to make conversation or anything. Just sit. Since the Mistral rolled in and chased away the clouds, the sky has become this deep deep blue color I have only seen in this part of the world. It's breathtaking.

I can't believe I've been here over a month. I only have a week and half left! I love it here. I never want to leave. But I also miss home, my family, my friends, my pets. I'll be glad to go home, but part of my heart will always live in Provence. I'll just have to come back, that's all.

I think that's all I have for now.

Love,
Natalie
