This week we had a lot of nice weather so we headed for the beach.
I had spent the weekend with Maria and Pierre, so we met Isabelle and Alexis at a beach called Bandol, which is about halfway between Cuers and Aix-en-Provence, so that I could go home with them. It was a really nice way to spend the afternoon.
One of the beach activities that is very popular here in France is to bat a little ball back and forth with paddles in the water. It's a pleasant little sound to hear while you're napping in the sand.
Pierre and Maria kindly lent me a hat to wear at the beach. I felt like a cowboy.
Since I've been spending so much time outside in the sun wearing sandals, I now have rather distinctive tan lines on my feet!
We stopped for a drink after the beach and Maria got a fantastic-looking hot chocolate to warm up after dipping her hair in the water.
Pierre got a nice nap in.
Before we left, Alexis gave me an impromptu self-defense lesson.
Finally, here I am with Josette (or Bijou) after our Sunday lunch. She was so happy to see me, as I was to see her, and she sends her greetings to my mom back in the US! She wants to meet you very much.
I.felt like I was there. Thanks for sharing, Lily.
