We've had no internet the last few days, so I'll try to do a few posts today to catch up. On Wednesday this week, we made our way to the Mediterranean Sea for the day. The coast is only an hour and a half from our villa, so we were able to stay at the beach all day. Being NW kids, we all pictured white sand beaches, clear blue water, and bath tub temperature water. None of these ended up being true, but we had fun none the less. We spent the first few hours laying on the beach, swimming in the waves, and being scarred by topless French women. We then wandered into the little beach town, which looks similar to Redondo Beach. We stopped for the best crepes, with peaches, strawberries, almonds, and vanilla ice cream on top. Yum! After weaving through endless rows of shops, ice cream parlors, clothing boutiques, and soap shops, we made our way back to the beach to end the day. You could see a strong Italian and Spanish influence in the town, called St. Marie le Mer. The water, despite being a little cold, was beautiful and clear, and you could walk out 500 yards and not go over your head. We even bought an inflatable alligator and floated around, getting strange looks from the French. It was a beautiful day!
