So, I like the French system of breaks...during this semester, I have a winter break AND spring break (and a few random 'holidays' in the middle of the week just because!) which makes traveling around a little easier :) This past week for winter break, my friend Emma from Colorado College (who is also studying in France) and I went to Nice, France. We stayed the full week in Nice - there is a ton of stuff to do! We went to a few museums, some cool parks, hung out on the beach, and shopped in the marchés. It was also the week of Carnaval (which is quite popular in Nice) so there were parades in the afternoons and at night. Its kind of funny that silly string is so popular at these parades...not only do kids run around spraying each other but adults will spray other random adults with silly string and just laugh at each other! Throughout the week, we also took a few day trips to some other cities (and a country!) that are close by...Cannes, St. Paul de Vance, and Monaco. (Monaco is actually a lot smaller than I realized...Emma and I walked across the whole country in just one day! :))
Here are some pictures from my week...the first few are in Nice, then Monaco, St. Paul de Vance, Cannes, and then some more from Carnaval in Nice :) http://picasaweb.google.com/erichards20/NiceWinterBreak?authkey=Gv1sRgCLXm1uiJ_IaLIQ&feat=directlink
