We went to a really neat aquarium. We saw sharks, Nemo fish, octopus, sea lions, huge fish, scary fish, red fish, blue fish...okay you get the point:) The French word for sea lion is "phoque" , pronounced very similarly to the F word. It was so funny to hear little kids say Look there's a phoque! Hahaha. Now my new word for stubbing my toe will be "sea lion!" ;)
We also went to the beach. The water was clearer than I expected but it was pretty cold. There were emerald green cliffs and gold rocks and sand and dusty-turquoise water and silver-sapphire skies with looming clouds that made it seem like a painting or a snow globe. The shore goes out for so long, it's nothing like California beaches or what I was expecting. The waves are only existent much farther out and the water comes to land in lazy ripples that linger in every carved out nook of sand.
We took pictures of us jumping and walking and making funny faces and didn't notice the water quickly rising toward us. Olympe's mom was calling and shooting to us and we had to run back so we wouldn't have to swim back. My pants got kind of wet but other than that it just made for a fun adventure. Olympe cut her foot but she's tough and it wasn't deep or big. After that I was ready for a hot shower and yummy dinner. We had bowtie pasta with a creamy sauce with mushrooms, cheese, veggies and I don't know what else. All I know what it was good:) I also had this delish chocolate pudding yogurt stuff called Danette. I usually like to have the peach Yoplait yogurt, but the chocolate is so good too! It's offered for dessert after almost every meal along with Greek or natural yogurt that you pile with sucre (sugar) to make it sweet. So good!!
Happy fourth of July!! by the way. I'm wearing a striped blue and white dress and dreaming about barbeque and parades:)
Much love from France
