I really wanted to take pictures of people doing so, but I chickened out. So instead, I put together some borrowed images from Google to give you an idea of this very true stereotype:<br />

She came to visit us prior to a trip to Helsinki. Apparently she bragged to her friends about soaking up some southern french sun before heading off to the freezing temperatures of Finland, but unfortunately she spoke too soon. The weather made a drastic change for the worse, and she arrived to cold clouds and rain (and a tiny bit of snow). It was a great visit, nonetheless. My mom definitely took it upon herself to spoil us as much as possible. We even spent two nights in Nice, where we were thrilled to have a sauna and a bathtub in the hotel (since we're still lacking hot water in our apartment in Roquebrune).<br />

Moving on to some major updates...<br />
<br />
Magali and I have decided to move on from Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. It's a beautiful town, and probably an amazing place to visit in warm weather, but we both feel ready to leave. So, the exciting part for me now is that I get to travel! Katrina (in Bourg-St-Andeol) gets two weeks of vacation this month, and here's our plan: we're going to meet up in Lyon (where we first met :-) ), then join some other assistants from her program in Prague, take a bus down to Budapest, fly to London, and then fly back to Lyon to part ways. We'll be spending four nights in each city, and afterwards I'll head off to Helsinki, Finland for about a week before returning home. I've purchased most of my flights and we've booked about half of our hostels so far; I'm thrilled! It'll be an interesting experience to travel Europe in winter (I've always traveled Europe in summer). On a side note, I'm very excited to come home to Arizona at the best time of year.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Magali and I finally checked out the famous Friday market in Ventimiglia, Italy last week. The short train ride was gorgeous; the view of the Mediterranean sea really never gets old. The market was fantastic, though the city itself didn't look like much. The indoor market held all of the produce, meats, cheeses, seafood, and plants (typical market stuff) and vendors sold all sorts of things like clothing, shoes, kitchenware, toys, etc. in the outdoor area which took up most of the seaside promenade.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

So, when the Mexican food craving came (and it always does when away from Arizona), Magali and I decided to make an afternoon trip back to Nice for a little shopping and dinner/margaritas. Enjoy what you have in Arizona, guys, because Mexican food just ain't the same here. It's also very expensive (e.g. 12 euros for a guacamole appetizer!).<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is Denis, a friend of a friend of the Robert family who lives in Nice. He printed off a bunch of copies of our resumes and gave us job search advice (very kind). In this picture, Magali and Denis are arguing about the gender of the English word "interview" (used often here, but with a French accent, of course). In case you were wondering, it's feminine: "une interview".<br />

Magali and I recently met up with my friend Katrina for a lovely weekend in Nice. Nice is only a 30 minute train ride away from Roquebrune, but poor Katrina had to travel about six hours (taking a bus, a train, a shuttle, and another train) to get to us from the small town of Bourg-St-Andeol. I'm glad she did it, though!<br />
<br />
<br />
We stayed at the Meyerbeer Beach hostel (<a href="http://www.hotel-meyerbeer-beach-nice.cote.azur.fr/">http://www.hotel-meyerbeer-beach-nice.cote.azur.fr/</a>), which I would definitely recommend to any youngsters or budget travelers going to Nice. We were a block away from the sea, a ten minute walk from Vieux (old) Nice (by many shops, restaurants, and bars), and about a 10-15 minute walk from the main train station. Everyone that worked at the hostel spoke French, English, and Italian pretty much fluently, and some even spoke Spanish on top of it. Geez.<br />

Seemed easy enough, but the place was crazy packed with a line out the door by the time we got there around midnight. They must really love their pubs in Nice!</span><br />

They sold all kinds of things: beautiful flowers, fresh produce, local cheeses and meats, etc. Apparently this market takes place six days a week, and turns into a flea market on Mondays.</div><br />

All ten minutes of it.<br />
<br />
Now, Monaco is an interesting place. It's not quite France and it's not quite its own country. The principality houses the richest of the rich, but there's no income tax. The people that work there can't even afford to live there. It feels like an entirely different planet that exists exclusively for billionaires (and maybe the occasional millionaires). I don't think I've seen so many Ferraris and $1M yachts in my life! I didn't get any fancy car pictures, but some yachts do appear later...<br />

<a name='more'></a>Besides Monaco, we've been enjoying Roquebrune and Menton. Since jobs are no where to be found yet, it's been quite the leisurely stay. Since we live so close to Italy, and since we don't speak any Italian, this area is pretty much off limits to us as far as jobs go. Everyone we've spoken with so far has said that Monaco is our best bet since we speak both English and French. We haven't seen much online, but eventually we'll gather up some courage and just go ask around the hotels and restaurants there (once we get our resumes printed...a surprisingly tricky task without a printer on hand).<br />
<br />
This weekend we're heading off to Nice for 2 nights/3 days! Katrina, who is back in Bourg-St-Andeol, will meet us there. Roquebrune and Menton are wonderful, but it will be nice to have a change of scenery, and hopefully a younger crowd (this is definitely where people come to retire). We also lacked hot water for several days (we finally have it back, though, but it's more lukewarm than hot), so we're especially looking forward to real hot showers at the hostel. I don't think our expectations for Nice are set too high ; )Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06974493615167070724noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-494970630568017802.post-17522352583652781762012-01-04T13:49:00.000-08:002012-01-12T09:35:10.316-08:00First week<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

On a sunny day, this place looks like a summer paradise smack in the middle of winter. I haven't seen water this blue in quite a while.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Our little apartment is adorable and actually larger than I had expected. A woman's touch in the decor is pretty evident: the walls are painted baby pink, my bedroom is apparently safari themed (animal print everywhere), and cutesy trinkets and wall decorations seal the deal . We're only about an 8-minute walk from the Mediterranean sea (as well as the train station), and all other necessities are nearby.

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1. The key to our gate apparently only locks/unlocks from the outside, but doesn't <i>unlock</i> from the inside. So, yours truly had to climb up the wall and jump down to get us out. I'm sure I looked pretty silly. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2. European appliances are a tad more confusing than American ones (no user-friendly pictures for us idiots), so our first load of laundry caused a mini-flood in our kitchen. It turns out that it wasn't our fault, though! There was nowhere for the water to drain. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">3. After not showering for a few days after our flights, Magali and I were very much looking forward to showers in our new apartment. Unfortunately, we didn't have hot water. That was probably the single most disappointing (and somewhat miserable) part of this trip.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">4. The French sometimes have an interesting work ethic. They kind of do whatever they want. We needed to make doubles of our keys, so we took them down the street to the key guy, who said it would take "une petite demi-heure" (a little/short half an hour). We went for a morning cafe creme and croissant to kill the half hour, only to return to a sign that read he'd be back in five minutes. Five minutes turned into ten, which turned into fifteen, which turned into twenty when he finally decided to show up. It was pretty chilly out, but he had our keys so we weren't able to get our jackets during the wait, and we kept thinking that he would show up any minute. Oh how that would not slide in the US. </span></div>Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06974493615167070724noreply@blogger.com0
