We're in the throes of a decision: in what village should we spend our winter and spring? Top candidates: Nice and Aix en provence. We were leaning toward Nice (close to sea, close to Italy, close to Alps) but are now gravitating toward Aix (university town, very french, the heart of provence that we love dearly). We hope to decide before next week.
Signed up for 3Jam last week. Soon (Thursday...why do the english think the days of the week merit capitalization?!?!?) our home phone number of 25 years will become virtual. Looking into what it takes to unlock my iPhone so I can use it with orange.fr or some such provider. Just cancelled Netflix (they won't ship overseas and they restrict on-demand to US ip addresses).
I just ran across your blog and want to recommend Aix which is where I live. It's centrally located, a lovely city in winter and summer, with lots of arts and entertainment....and of course, the every present and wildly popular sidewalk cafes and restaurants. Good luck with you choices and your move. I've been there myself. Phones are another issue!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you're well on your way on your adventure in Europe! Good luck and I'll check out your blog every now and then to see how French you eventually become. I expect you to come back to the US demanding that vacation be a human right in the US! Viva Le France!
