Bonjour! It is day five in Aix en Provence and I know for sure this is one of the most amazing experiences I will ever have. I have started my class in sketching and drawing. In the past few days I have done new things that I never dreamed of: drawing from a real live nude model, drawing her better with my left hand, exploring the streets of Aix with some of my new friends, and exploring them alone, not feeling rushed ever, sitting in the streets of Aix to just observe, buying a delicious crepe to go for 1,80 euros, and saying hello to everyone I pass (just to name a few). I highly recommend Crepe a gogo, a secret underground (literally) crepe shop, they have at least 80 different flavors! Today I tried sucre et beurre (sugar and butter); il etait delicieux! One thing you can't do in NYC: sit on the sidewalk and just observe everything around you. Today I bought a scarf, sunglasses and earings from a cute little shop, il n'est pas chere. This weekend will truly be an adventure: a trip to a beautiful monastery to view ancient architecture and to Marseille for Tranhumance! I cannot wait for what life has in store for me next!!
