Enjoying our treats on the Cours Mireabeau
Other lovely Frenchies enjoying some cafe
The fountains in Aix are very plentiful!
Sarah shopping for a book
I love Sundays.Today was no exception.
After church, the gals and I decided to hit up a local book fair in the square next to the "Hotel De Ville", or City Hall.
Sarah, Nikki and I donned our sunglasses and flats, and made our way out into the late winter weather. It was lovely to be out in the sun, with the thermometer hitting the high 50's.
The books at the small fair were old french books, including "War & Peace" translated into French, and some fun childrens books on display upon the tables.
We spent the better part of the afternoon at a cafe, sipping hot cocoa and eating gelatto (Sarah, of course). The sun felt so good on our faces after the long winter we have endured.
Around 4, we made our way to the local English movie theatre to see Sherlock Holmes. It was really excellent, filled with action and over two hours of Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr., which was lovely.
I love when the streets of Aix are slightly deserted, and the shops are all closed. With the sun streaming in between the tall buildings, and just our six feet pounding the pavement, it made Aix look a little brighter than it has the past few weeks.
