I am finally in Villefranche-sur-Mer! What a long journey it has been.
My morning started at 7:30 AM. I went to school, wrote my Soc.Exam, then left for the Toronto airport right after. When we arrived, we had a quick lunch, checked our baggage, and went through security. After all of our hugs and goodbyes, we went to wait for our plane in the Lounge. I was pretty cool there, although, the room was FILLED with people on their laptops - I wish I had taken a picture. It's amazing how isolated we can make ourselves, even in public. We boarded at 5:30 PM, and ate dinner shortly after we took off. During the flight, I watched Dear John, and started editing my Departure Video. We landed in Frankfurt, and transferred onto another plane that would take us to Nice. When we arrived in Nice, we took a taxi to Villefranche, and we arrived at our destination at around 10 in the morning.
Once we arrived, we checked into our hotel [we're staying at a hotel tonight, & getting the appartment tomorrow]. Then we went to a café for lunch in the village. It's Saturday today, which means it's market day in Villefranche. We passed dozens of fruit & vegatable vendors, fish vendors, jewlery and clothing stands, etc. I am so excited for next Saturday - it will definitely be a shopping day. After lunch, I ventured out on my own. I walked from the top of Villefranche, all the way down to the bottom, where the harbour and beach is. The village is VERY hilly, and it is filled with winding roads. To get to the beach, you have to walk through all of these intricate alleyways that are filled with restaurants, shops, and art galleries. It's a hidden treasure, and I can't wait to keep exploring the community. I'm hoping to discover a new place each day.

Well, it's past midnight here, so I'm going to get some sleep!
Here is the video that I made for today :)
Lots of love,
