What fun stuff have we done this week? Well, one highlight was going to Nice (the most popular tourist destination in France perhaps): to make pottery, to watch delicious French candies being made, to explore, and to be almost blown over from the wind.
Nice is absolutely gorgeous. It literally has water so blue and clear that it rivals that of Bermuda’s.
We also visited a Confiserie, or a candy shop, during my Conversation elective. There were so many unique flavors and types of candy, like crystallized, sugared rose petals or mint leaves; chocolate with violet in it, violet/rose/mandarin confitures (jams), etc. etc. They were delicious.
Finally, we scooped around the coastline to see the agitated sea and the Promenade des Anglais (English Promenade). It was so windy that day that I was literally bent at a 90 degree angle trying not to fall over. The water was closed due to the “frappant” waves, but there were still a ton of people on the beach.
I can’t wait to go back to Nice and to learn more about the old village, about the people who were here (Picasso, Matisse, Chagall), and about the historic and cultural sites!
