Market Day

Another public holiday
Yipee.

After a fantastic sleep in, I spent the morning strolling around the market in town which was absolutely beautiful, then met some friends on the beach for an afternoon of sun.

The Market is a wonderful place for the senses.... fresh strawberries lined up in rows in little tubs, having only a couple of hourse before plucked from their bush, cherries and rapberries, the pinks, reds and colours are incredible. Spices, dried fruits, vegetables, zuchinni's with flowers on the ends, women and their dogs searching for any morcel of food on the ground, the flowers are another thing all together. The dogs here are a whole other story, will have to fill you in another time. I adore Paeony roses and there were so many sitting in tubs waiting to be taken home and put in peoples vases. The sounds, sights and smells were something not to miss. It was great to try and buy things in french, I managed ruby grapefruits, zuchinnis with their flowers, kiwi's, asparagus and some potoatoes. Last night I tried to make stuffed Corgette (a nicois delicacy) although what we ate was something a little further from a delicacy. I will attempt to stuff the zuchini flowers with Mozerella and fry them tonight for dinner.

The ocean is this fantastic colour and when finally braving the cold to go swimming, we found that it was impossible to see further down than where our hands were, unable to stand on the bottom after only a couple of metres, Cassandra and I decided it was very deep and the colour was due to the insane amount of salt. I havent been able to wash out the fabulous stuff from my hair, it seems to love the salt water and has gone very ringlety.
Back to class today, then a trip to Cannes tomorrow.....
