Alex and I spent two amazing jam-packed days in Marseille! It is a beautiful seaside city right on the Mediterranean. The whole city is centered around the vieux port (Old Port) and just expands from there. It was a great weekend in a beautiful place and the amazing weather just made the whole weekend even better!!Saturday: Saturday morning, we woke up nice and early and grabbed a quick breakfast at a bakery across the street from our hotel. Our hotel was offe...

This past weekend, I went on a three day trip with my boyfriend, Alex. We wanted to go to Marseille, and Alex brought up the idea of making a stop in Nîmes and seeing the Pont du Gard.

Two months into school and the work load is picking up a bit, so a bit of added stress on that front. On top of that, I've made lots of friends who are always doing cool things and inviting me along.
