Of Fleas and Frioul

Restless night, another of LMM's "white" ones but I slept in a bit and now must head off to work. The rest of the country's teachers are on strike today but sadly, not us at the university! Am hoping to catch a glimpse of the action this afternoon (must remember to pack my camera with my lunch!)

A quick shot from our visit to Marseille: this is on the Ile du Frioul, with the Chateau d'If (fictional home of the Count of Monte Cristo) and the city on the horizon. It rained our first day there, but we got lucky on Sunday where it was windy but sunny, making it a perfect day for hiking (and picture-taking).


Word of the Day: marché aux puces = flea market (literally, market of fleas!)
