The best part about living in Europe is how close everything is. Every day I am meeting someone from another country or learning a new word in a different language. And I don't just have to wait for culture to come to me, with Ryan Air, the highly unethical but very affordable discount airline, I am able to travel wherever I want without emptying my wallet. This past weekend, the south of France.
In Marseille the city buses can take you to extraordinary places. We took a couple to where the road ends. It sounds poetic and it is. At the road's end along the coast there are these adorably quaint fishing villages with just a few houses, a harbour, a couple restaurants, and a fish market. If you walk behind them you can continue into the hills that are basically grassy white stone cliffs. AMAZING rock climbing. We walked 45 min past one village and reached a hamlet of just three homes and a bar. Its a hike-in or boat-in town with no road at all and a beautiful sandy beach tucked into a moutnainous cove. To top it off, it was a perfectly sunny day.
