As our stay in Aix came to a close, we did so many activities together. Saturday was the most amazing day. We went to Cassis, which is probably the most beautiful place I have ever seen. We had a gorgeous boat ride on the Mediterranean and got to have lunch on the water. The view was absolutely spectacular! We spent the afternoon at the beach ...
The weekend has just ended, and moving into this week, the most prevalent thing on my mind is wondering when nostalgia will set in. Today, a couple of students from the group departed with their parents, and tomorrow we will all part ways. I'll not ruin the generally positive attitude of my blogs by droning on and on about having to leave this ...
The last weekend has passed us! Saturday was, in my opinion, the best day of the trip! We went to Cassis, a beautiful beach town not far from Aix. It was just breathtaking! The first thing we did upon arrival was take a boat ride. Then we had a stipend lunch. My friends and I had the best moules frites I have ever tasted! Then we went to the ...
There have been so many firsts in my month in Aix-en-Provence; so many moments that made me feel as if I was infinite; so many places and songs and experiences that made my heart and my soul vibrate; so many hours that made me believe that I belonged there; so many people through whom I discovered eternity... In my very first blog, I told ...
Here are some pictures of the group from Thursday when we went parasailing and tubing in Nice! In the evening we went to an electronic concert on a private beach in Nice. The next day, Friday, some students went into Nice to rehearse a show they are preparing for Sunday night. Friday night we had a party with the host ...
Our last week in Nice has been packed with activities and unfortunately gone by far too quickly. We visited 3 art museums this week and saw quite a range of works. We took a guided visit of the Musée Chagall and learned a lot about his religious inspirations. We also got to visit MAMAC, Nice’s modern art museum, as well as the museum of ...
I had the opportunity to explore one of the most beautiful cities in the French Riviera: St-Tropez. Abbey Road students boarded the bus, and we drove off to the famous town. Upon arrival, we walked through the city and found our meeting spot at the Office de Tourisme. We broke up into smaller groups, and I began to shop with my friends. Many ...
Ever since I was little, I have always gotten cold sores. They hurt. They are ugly. There is surely nothing good about them. So today when I noticed the beginning signs of a cold sore underneath my nose, I could not have been any more displeased. It just so happens that, later on that afternoon, I had to pay a visit to the apartment of two of ...
The past three days have been amazing (as you can probably guess from my overly exuberant title). We went to St-Tropez with the 'Nice Kids'. It was incredible - definitely somewhere I would want to return to in the future. It wasn't so much the scenery, but the ambiance; even though it was super touristy, there was still a level of chicness we ...
