On Wednesday we didn't have school so we decided that it was time to get to know Aix a little better. We went to Granet Museum and got to see lots of Picasso, a few Monet's, and one Van Gogh, it was very exciting.
We also went to the main cathedral in town, that is right next to our school. It was beautiful! The pictures do not do it justice.
While we were there we wondered into a beautiful courtyard.
As soon as we had walked through the doors a French lady came over and locked them.
She was leading some kind of tour, and we were obviously not suppost to be in there. We were locked in there for about 30 minutes until some nice lady came and saved us. Hey, but not many people can say they have been locked in a cathedral courtyard, right?
The clock tower in the center of town.
The most amazing door ever!
Nutella crepes!
We discovered that our favorite bakery sells day olds for really cheap! Hooray!
Lasagna bolognese.
We went out to dinner with a friend from school and her husband.
We can't believe it has already almost been a month! We have our first break next week, which we are very excited about, but first we have to get through our first test on Monday...
Oh wow, almost a month?? Time flies like a cheetah with wings!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of all the art you got to see! I took an art class once and it made me want to travel and see art all around the world so badly. Gotta love museums with fabulous art! (And cathedrals. O_o)
The courtyard looks beautiful! Not a bad place to be locked into! Hahah! xoxo
