I'm moving here.

Not really, but I wish.

Today we woke up at noon and then walked 50m down the street to a boulangerie. I got a Tarte aux Frambroise and James got baguettes and some pastries for the family.
When we got home we ate a baguette and our pastries, but then less than an hour later Lisianne, James' uncle's wife, made us lunch. Chicken and corn and beans. Yummies.
I can't believe I still had room to eat. I'm gaining weight here, I swear, even with all the walking.
Then James played some piano while I slept on the couch and journaled in the room I'm staying. It was so beautiful.
At around 5pm we finally got on with our day. Lol.

Today we checked out this little town called Valbonne. I want to live here - it was so cute.
Trop petite though, so maybe it will just be my summer home.

Valbonne was about a 20minute walk down the road. The village was having a festival called Les Arts de Feu (Arts of Fire) and it was basically an amazing mediterranean pottery festival. So wonderful and amazing. We walked around and looked at all the artisans for a bit, and then we stumbled upon this amazing little store that sold ice cream. Tee hee. We shared a white chocolate ice cream cone and walked around this beautiful old town, sitting in people's doorways and playing with their cats. It was awesome. Then we found out they were having a circus act come through town tonight, so we decided to spend the night here. We shared a sandwich and then saw a crowd gathering in the street. Turns out it was this huge circus act with fire and they performed along a route that took us through the whole village. So it was like a parade/circus/fireworks show.
I can't really explain it, but it was pretty awesome. Most of the dialogue was in French, so it was hard to understand, but something about escaped convicts needing to get through doors...I dunno.

After the show we went home and ate dinner...again lol, and watched a movie with Emilie, who is so wonderful.
Tomorrow we are getting up early to go hiking in the mountains to look for mushrooms. And we desperately need to do laundry.
My to do list for tomorrow:
1. Go hiking in the foothills of the French Alps
2. Do laundry
3. Eat a pastry
4. Have fun.

I think that's doable.
