Bonjour!
A group of us decided to go to Cassis, a town along the Mediterranean. Martin had already been and organized the trip for us. He became our unofficial tour guide.
Listening to Martin the tour guide outline the day's schedule: (Martin the guy in the green shirt)
A bunch of us at the port ready to see some calanques.
Bonjour!
One Friday a group of students from my program decided to climb Saint Victoire (the nearby mountain that Cezanne liked to pain).
This is the happy we just got off the bus and still have energy photo:

We walked down the road searching for the path.
"Is this it?"
Tasmania, Taz, Tassie. It’s one of the 6 states of Australia. But one of the least populated and also an island, of an island. It’s that little blob in the bottom right corner of the country. So we landed in Hobart bright and early – the capital city of Tasmania. We were off to pick up our rental car. The only rental place in the whole country that rents to under 21 year olds. Quite dodgy. But we got a wonderful blue car just in time to head to the Salamanca Markets.
The closest finish in 151 years. $6.2m race.
The legal age in Australia is 18. You can drink and gamble
and pretend to be an adult. However, 21st birthday parties are a BIG
deal. And by big deal, I mean something in between a Bar Mitzvah and Sweet 16.
Although it doesn’t make any sense as to why they would celebrate turning 21
since nothing changes in their legal abilities, it’s just another excuse to get
dressed up and party a bit.
