Today was a great last day in the south. Sarhad took us to Aix-en-Provence, a beautiful city with great colorful buildings and art. It is also a big college town as far as French and foreign students go. It was great. After that, we came back and had an amazing dinner with the family (as pictured). Lucie can really cook some incredible dishes, and over the past few days Keith and I have eaten Armenian and French cuisine...nothing like fresh food done right, great stuff! Also, we had the local drink: pastis. It tastes like black licorice gone weird, but it isn't too terrible. I love the French family dinner, afterwards Sarhad and his brother debated about a topic for 30 minutes. They barely looked at each other, and they could never come to a resolution, a great French debate...it was funny for Keith and I to watch.
It's hard to put it all into perspective this soon, but this weekend has really been incredible, meeting the family and friends has been great, and they were nothing but welcoming and loving. It's great that we were able to communicate and share a great weekend here just like any family would.. Now time to get back to Angers and get back to business, bonsoir.
