Jared having fun in France!

Bonjour! Just thought I would post a few pics from the trip that I am on. I am staying in Aix en Provence (see the map) in the southern end of France, near Marseille.

Pictures in Aix:






























































































It is a beautiful area. Saturday we spent the day in a town called Cassis (just east of Marseille). We went to the town and also went swimming in the Mediterranean. It was cold, but nice. The water was quite salty, so much so that you could float on your back quite easily and lift up your head without sinking. For those of you who can't wait to ask the question, yes, there were many topless women. Please realize that only a minor percentage of them were worth looking at. Many were old women and it really wasn't what you would expect. The town was quite picturesque of France.




























































































Sunday we went to Verdon Canyon. First we stopped at a old town carved into a mountain, then on to canoing in canyon.



Au revoir!
