my computer's back

so the mac store called me yesterday. i was elated. from the very rapid french i gathered that they fixed my computer. what happened? I HAVE NO IDEA. i got this brand new macbook pro in October. and they had to replace the motherboard. SERIOUSLY? the motherboard. well atleast it was free and now i have access to the outside world again. so this will probably be a long blog

this weekend was great- we ended up going to this nearby city called Avignon .. which is BEAUTIFUL. theres this really cute french song that children sing about it that our host dad sang to us the night before. it was so cute. in Avignon is the Palace of the Popes from back when the popes would rotate cities.. the palace is unbelievable!  but we went with this tour where most people were french and then a few americans and it was great because we got to do our own thing. as custom.. we spent lunch in this beautiful park with baguettes and wine!

the weather was absolutely perfect also. crystal blue skies and lots of sunshine. it was perfect. then after we left avignon we went to this beautiful little village called Les Baux de Provence that is pretty much the city where the movie Chocolat was filmed. its this tiny little town nestled on the side of this mountain. its so picturesque and quaint. hardly any inhabitants and we got to just roam around for a while which was really nice!
(I would upload some pretty pictures but for some reason it is taking an hour to upload) Google the town though and check out how absolutely beautiful it is!

I have got to go to class- this took me longer than i thought with all the uploading- but tonight I will continue my post and upload some more pictures!
