Today we took the bus to Marseille and went to the beach. It was a long walk from the bus stop but the beach was amazing. It was so cute and surrounded by old buildings. The water was sooo salty that it was easier then normal to float. The Mediterranean water is beautiful, but the little fish like to nibble on your toes..it was so weird! Marseille as a city was much larger then Aix and from what i saw (which wasn't very much) was that Marseille was kind of dirty and people were not out as much as Aix. I'll have to go back sometime to see the rest of the city though. Another day of orientation is tomorrow and I am in need of some serious sleep. Sun, swimming, and walking make for a very tired person, so I am going to bed early to rest up for the week ahead :)
