TGIF

Bonjour tous le monde!

I feel like a slacker due to the lack of updates! This week has flown by, I am surprised that it has already been two weeks here in Antibes, and also can't believe it's only been two weeks at the same time. We visited Monaco this week, it was absolutely beautiful. Incredible to see, but also incredible to believe. To buy a square foot in Monaco it's $33,000 euro! Mon dieu! But it doesn't matter anyway they're very strict about who is allowed to live there, you either need to be born as a Monegasque or be appointed to live there. We did not head to the casino, probably for the best, and we headed off to Cannes.

Here, the Harry Potter movie came out on Tuesday night, but unfortunately we missed out on getting tickets, but that showing was also in french. We found a showing in Cannes in English the next day. So after Monaco we got on the train to Cannes and set out for the theater! It was amazing, I have loved Harry Potter throughout the years and the final chapter of the movies was amazing.

Yesterday was Bastille day, the day of the storming of the Bastille and everything closes and it's treated as the fourth is in the US. I did some walking around and found some cool markets of antiques and such, but spent most of the day in bed with a migraine. Domage frommage.

Besides the day trip this week, we also went to nearby Biot on Tuesday and painted pottery! It was a lot of fun, and I made some really cool designs, I'm looking forward to the final product! Pictures to come!

Well it's 10:19 here and I'm exhausted, the heat does it I think. Beach and market browsing tomorrow, and it's another CEA student's birthday tomorrow so I'm sure there will be some interesting stories to come from that! Until then, missing everybody! Love you all.
