rain = lame

Yeah, today's weather has not been so nice thus far. It was a little cloudy and breezy this morning, and then there was a thunderstorm in the afternoon, which made walking around not so fun. This is for a few reasons:
- The sidewalks here are big enough for one, sometimes two people abreast: max
- When everyone is trying to walk around with an umbrella open, that makes it even harder
- The drivers don't seem to mind these facts, and continue barrelling around street corners like there is no tomorrow

So going to Petite Casino for some groceries took a little while and was not too much fun. It wasn't all bad though since beforehand we had lunch at a nice little sandwich place. Steak frites (sliced baguette with steak and french fries are great, and it was less than three euros. The guy who worked there was pretty funny, and he loved when everyone was crammed in there (the place was the about the size of the common room in the mayfield) and tried to order.

We had dinner with our hosts for the first time last night. It was me and two other students, and our hostess was really nice. She lives about 15 minutes away from the center of town, so it isn't too far to go.

I got my cellphone yesterday, but I still need to get a phone card thing to fill it up with minutes since it is a pre-paid kind.

I took some more photos of Aix yesterday, but I have yet to put them on my computer, so hopefully I will do that tonight or something. Unfortunately, classes start tomorrow, so I might be a little busy....oh well, can't just go to the beach and hang out in town everyday. :)
