I want to come home to crèpes and Nutella everyday.

Today was not the most exciting day ever. Most things are closed on Sundays here, but I managed to keep myself occupied.

On the Cours Mirabeau there was this fantastic antique sale. Last week it was a craft fair in the same place. The antique sale was far more impressive and expensive. There was much that I would have liked to buy as some things were just "old" and not "antique," but the practicality of that stopped me. There were lots of clear red things, but they were glass, and I didn't even want to think about the transport.

So today I walked around town photographing fountains (I'll save the pictures until I can point out where on a map they are to you). I walked around about half of the town and took pictures of twenty-five fountains. I know where a few more are. My quest is not complete!

At one of the fountains at the end of town I decided to sit on a bench. There were plenty of people walking by, and I was just taking in the view. Then Nikoli walked into my life. Oh, this was a real treat. He must have spotted me long before I saw him, or I would have gotten up to leave before he was right in front of me. This guy looked to be around twice my age. He apparently has a ban on deodorant and toothpaste. He realized I was a tourist (although he thought from England) and decided to tell me all of the fabulous places to go around Aix. I had probably a fifteen to twenty minute conversation with him in which he told me that I don't talk enough, I should not wear sunglasses so men can see my beautiful eyes, and I have a wonderful smile. He also offered to buy me a drink (this was around 11 a.m.). When I made my getaway he asked if I would like to meet up in the afternoon. Although it is good to practice French, I deemed agreeing to that a bad choice.

I had the best ice cream I have ever had in my entire life today. One scoop was caramel with pockets of the most delicious oozing caramel in the history of the world, and the other scoop was vanilla with delightful chocolate shavings.

I had a lot of goat cheese today. I think I'm done with that for a while. Same with the green beans. That's right parents, they serve me green beans and I eat them. Don't get any ideas.
