We spent a wonderful night in Franz Joseph in a little cottage.
The towns we stopped in seemed to get a bit bigger, but even so, the town only
had 1 supermarket, 2 cafes, and some souvenir shops. It’s amazing to me that
people can live in these towns. We woke up to snow capped mountains and headed
over to prepare for our glacier hike. We got giant raincoats, thick wool socks,
Tassie in 3 days was totally do-able, and I feel like I saw it all…well most. It’s like spending 3 days in New York, you’d see a lot more than you think you can.
Bonjour!
The first weekend in October I visited nearby Marseille (31km away) with my friends Molly and Valerie. Marseille is the second biggest city in France. You probably have heard about the biggest one. Its got this famous tower, museum, arc, cathedral, etc. (wink, wink)
Marseille is a port city and the oldest Greek city in France.
I totally forgot to blog about Belgium! Two of my friends from school and I met up in Brussels for a weekend in October. We had perfect timing. There were so many cool things happening that weekend. First of all, we got to see the Mannequin Pis statue get a new costume. This does not happen very often and we were there to see the whole ceremony. It was hilarious. And because we were there on October 15th, we walked right into the Occupy Brussels demonstration in the middle of the city.
