Hello, Sean here (remember I type in italics)!
I would first like to say sorry for not posting a lot!
I took my trip to France, which caused a gap in our posting. I have been working a lot since I got back, too. We will get back in our groove (I am lame!) and post more!
This post will be about my trip to Nice (pronounced like niece), Nîmes, and Aix, France. I went to France because my French teacher set up an education travel where we toured from the South of France to Paris. I will be splitting up the trip into 5 posts so I won't bombard you with all the pictures I have taken. Hopefully, you enjoy it and see how great France is!
The flight there was hectic to say the least. We were supposed to fly from Cincinnati to Washington, then to Nice. That did not happen, instead we flew from Washington to Houston, then to Frankfurt, Germany, and then to Nice.
Once we got there, though, the flights were well worth it.
The first city we went to was Nice, which is right on the Mediterranean.
Many of the buildings are old, but look beautiful. There are many buildings that look similar to this with modern buildings scattered throughout.
My first meal in France! It was a regular salad, so nothing crazy.
It was still delicious!
For the main course I had some yummy pasta!
You have to have some french bread, too!
You have to have some french bread, too!
Desert was amazing! I am not sure what to call it, but it was like a mouse layered cake.
After dinner, we explored the town a bit and walked through the streets.
In the square they had these statues to represent each continent. The statues face the direction the continent is located. At night they light up different colors. 
They have many elaborate fountains!
As it was close to the Mediterranean and Italy, it felt like what a person would picture as Italy to look like. Excepts, with the French language!
We walked to this square, which was awesome! Every restaurant had outdoor seating and the atmosphere was lively. There was too much good food!
Of course, after you eat dessert you have to get more dessert!
This beautiful ice cream is lavender and pistachio from Finocchio! Lavender ice cream is amazing, it tastes somewhat minty and similar to how it smells (the actual plant not in perfumes).
Another picture of the streets and architecture! I could just explore all the streets for days!
At night they have these vendors that sell all kinds of stuff!
Jewelry, artwork, soap, purses, clothing, etc.
Auer, is a well-known chocolate shop. I couldn't get a good picture through the window, but there was sooo much chocolate in there!
The next day we went to the city Nîmes.
The streets were so tiny, but they had so many different shops!
This market was right in a square. There were so many different fruits and vegetables.
It is comparable to a farmer's market in the USA.
An old advertisement on a building that I thought was cool!
They have flower markets where people sell fresh cut flowers. I thought it was cool because we usually just have a garden center that you go to to get plants.
This pizza was amazing! It was huge, but I am proud to say I ate the whole thing!
Later that day we went to Aix-en-Provence!
More vendors selling all kinds of stuff!
I wish I had done more shopping, but we were constantly busy!
We visited this roman temple. I didn't realize that France had Roman buildings.
I wish I had done more shopping, but we were constantly busy!
This arena was huge! I never imagined seeing this in France. Many people just picture Paris immediately with France.
The top of the arena had great views of the surrounding city. It was a perfect combination of nice weather, great view, and historic monument. I could have stayed up there forever!
Later that day, we went to Arles! Another beautiful city in France!
After this post I shall post each post a day after! I just don't want to miss anything because it was such a wonderful trip.
Jessica and I will be doing more stuff, too! We will continue making posts!
Thanks for viewing!
