4/12/2010-- Southern France
I am in complete and utter denial about our eminent departure from Florence. That said, if one were to theoretically leave, and request a closing tour, this past weekend's experience would be the epitome of what anyone could hope for. The South of France blew every expectation I had into it's crystal clear blue waters.
Day 1: Lounging, sunning, general merriment on the beach in Nice.
Day 2: Lounging, sunning, general merriment on the beach in Cannes. This concluded with a group-wide (keeping in mind we were rolling around 75 deep) chicken fight- session in the waves. One of the top-five happiest days of my life, hands down. Joy radiated from every person and scene. The sun was glorious, the water moderate, the entire ambiance was perfection.
Day 3: Monte Carlo/ Monaco, where luxury liners, race tracks, and casinos are a-plenty, and envy is solicited around every corner. I dream of retiring in a place 10% as amazing as here.
All in all, the weekend was relaxing, time for friends who have moved us in special and peculiar ways throughout the semester. I returned to Florence (despite a bus-breakdown circa Pisa aeroporto) feeling ready to face the coming onslaught of dead/finals week with only feelings of utter bliss.
