Just had a busy yet productive week of school. This included a French dissertation and a gastronomy presentation, and I got to end the week with a trip to Marseille, France! Here is a photo and short reflection from the experience.
I’m currently 6 weeks into my study abroad program and I think this photo captures the experience up to now pretty well.
The architecture here in France is both historic and striking. Sometimes it’s cold, but that brings the occasion to bundle up and wear a favorite winter coat. As for me, I have found total contentment. Everyday provides opportunity to make new connections, broaden my French vocabulary, and experience more of this (previously foreign) country. For all of this I’m extremely grateful.
This is the well-known Cours Julien in Marseille. It’s a staircase covered in vibrant graffiti. 
Friends in Marseille. 
Marseille is right on the coast of the Mediterranean sea.
