Hello, goodbye

While everyone’s saying their goodbyes in the exchange bunch, I say hello to my family who’s visiting the Riviera for a week. Many people seem to be leaving this week and the next, and I’ve apparently missed out on a couple of cool parties due to various reasons. But on the other hand I’ve had the chance to experience the French motorways and see places I haven’t seen before.
Yesterday we drove down to Marseille and some of the scenery on the way was almost like in Arizona, albeit a bit more cloudy. The city itself is what you’d expect from the oldest and the second largest town in the country with its old stained buildings and narrow streets. With all the history, however, they’ve still had to steal the Finnish flag.
Sadly the weather’s turning worse and rain is expected for the days to come. I guess the plans for a nice holiday on the sunny coast aren’t probably going to work out for the fam.

Sometimes the narrow streets provided a challenge
P.S. To everyone who has left or is leaving Antibes in the near future and I haven’t had the chance to say proper goodbyes: thanks for everything and have a safe trip home! I’ll leave it at that ’cause everything else would be clichéd mush.
Sneaky flag-stealers, they are!
I hope you will continue to write blog posts for as long as you stay in France, it’s been a pleasure reading them.
Say hello to your family from me <3
