South of France: Day 2

On our second day of our field trip, we took a charter bus to two of the cutest towns that I could have wandered the streets of forever and never get sick of them. The first town was Aix en Provence. We explored the old city with our tour guide and he told us all about the history of the town and the Cathedrale St. Sauveur. And afterwards we were free to roam around and shop before meeting back at the bus to head to the next town Cassis, which is a really pretty fishing harbor.  It was raining again on the second day. Which apparently is unusual for the South of France. At least that’s what our tour guide kept telling us. He said they get about 5 days of rain a year…and this was our second day of rain. (Lucky us!) It still didn’t hold us back though, we could explore in rain or shine! And even on a rainy day, these towns were beautiful. I can’t even imagine how pretty it would have been on the sunniest day.

^^On our way to the towns we stopped on top of a cliff that looked out over the towns and it was just stunning. Even on a cloudy, rainy day.
