Today was the day of Carnaval d'Aix-en-provence, and although much smaller scale when compared to the Carnaval de Nice, it was really great. The colors were all so vibrant, the sun was shining, and it was in the mid 70°s! All the little french children were dressed up in various costumes, and people lined Le Cours Mirabeau, the main street in Aix. Confetti was strewn across the street and in the fountains. After the carnival came to an end the streets looked as if they had been been covered with colorful snow. It was pretty great. The plain trees are all starting to gain color again, and in no time at all, they will be full and shady for the upcoming summer season. I now have only 3 more weeks in this apartment, and then I will move all my things back to La Tour d'Aigues and start working again as fille au pair for the Jaspard family.
May should be a very eventful month for me. In 2 weeks I will be going to Monaco, in 3 I will attend the Cannes film festival and move to the countryside. In a month from now, I will spend the weekend in Cagliari, Italy, and most likely couchsurf there. It's crazy, thanks to the volcano in Iceland, I was able to get a ryanair flicht for 16 euros roundtrip. So I'll be sure to post blogs with lots of pictures on a regular basis.
Hope you all are doing well back in the states!
