le début

this blog will be my first attempt at this form of nouveau age social networking.  to record and chronicle my travels and studies abroad! 

i will be in Aix-en-Provence in France.  believe it or not there are other cities in France besides Paris. 

the city is in the area commonly referred to as the riviera.  it is a small provincial town of about 150,000 and is referred to as the 'City of Fountains'. how romantic! cobblestoned streets. it averages 300 days of sunshine.  adorned with cathedrals and museums and gothic architecture all around. it is idyllic. quiet. picturesque. and my home for 5 months.
