Last week, I spent a day in Marseille. From the moment I woke up that day, I felt good and the day felt good and it just got better and better. The weather was perfect, the city is just too pretty for words. It has one of the best cityscapes I've seen so far. But the thing that struck me the most was the atmosphere, it was lively. It felt like everyone was happy to be there. It was vibrant! People dancing on the street, bands playing music, someone trying to unicycle while another tries to push a friend around in a shopping cart! It had an old world charm to it but yet it was a modern city, a city that moved, a city with a gorgeous port!
We took the boat to a nearby island, chateau d'if. It was made famous by Alexandre Dumas and the Count of Monte Cristo! The vistas were just too good to be true. We met some nice people on the way and there. We explored, we oohed and aahed at the views. We sang at echo points. We shadow-danced!
We did silly things to amuse ourselves but that just made the day more fun! And even the silly things we did, felt just right! We ended our day with a wonderful dinner cooked by our french aunties (that's what we're calling them from now on!) We drank some wine and we made merry. It really felt like we were part of a family for 2 days and it was great!
