Have You Ever Heard a Baby Snore?

Well I have! Today, early in the morning, we left for Aix en Provence. It was Françoise, Marine, Sean, and I. Françoise dropped off Sean and I north of the center of the village. We walked around for about an hour and a half looking around at the market and going to random little stores. We met up with Françoise and Marine around 1:00PM so we could grab some food before we went to Marseille. We stopped in a little Italian restaurant. We had, of course, pizza but it was very delicious.

After lunch, we left for Marseille. In the very first minutes we were in the car, Marine fell asleep and, like the title says, she snored. It was very funny to listen to because she snored so loud! Once we arrived in Marsaille around 3:00PM, I couldn't believe how beautiful it was. Even though the weather wasn't the nicest, the city was very nice. Françoise dropped Sean and I off at the OM Bar since the OM Boutique wasn't too far away. I went to the OM Boutique and looked around, especially at the jerseys since they are the 08/09 model. They're very nice! I then walked around some more and went to the other OM store where I finally got the
home kit and the away shorts. Then, I went to the Nike store and looked at the new Nike club jerseys for the 08/09 season coming up and I also went to the Adidas store as well. Sean and I saw some stuff we liked but didn't buy anything.

When Sean and I got tired of walking around, since we couldn't do too much except go to stores, we headed for the OM Bar since thats's where we were meeting back up. Around 6:45PM Françoise came to pick us up and we headed home since we were all very tired.

Tomorrow we are going to the 2008 Coupe Du Monde De Beach Soccer De La Fifa in Marseille. We are getting picked up by Bénedicte in the morning and will be dropped off at the stadium. I will get to watch Russia vs. Argentina, Mexico vs. Japan, United Arab Emirates vs. Cameroon, and Brasil vs. Spain. Then, Marc will pick us up to take us home. Can't wait!

Wow! (How many times am I going to say that?)

You are having your dream vacation. Very cool.

And, glad that you are getting to see Marseilles. Maybe you could check out a museum or two, or maybe some Roman ruins, in addition to the Nike and Adidas stores.

Just a thought. But, do what you want.

Make sure to eat some snails and drink some wine for me though!

Why? Do they sell soccer jerseys in museums too?

hi-oooooooh!

You should probably start developing a southern French accent. It's good times.

I can only say "pantoufle" in that accent, but it's still awesome.
