Trip to Marseille

Last week, I had the good luck to go to Marseille - twice!  I went one day with some of my fellow assistants for our mandatory medical visits and the day after with my school to learn a bit about the history of Marseille.  Here are a few snapshots of the days (click on the photos for bigger versions) - 

Holler to Nicole for this photo - she somehow managed to make our walk through highway underpasses and construction site en route to the health office look beautiful

Again, thanks to Nicole - me + assistants with our chest x-rays - we don't have TB!

Fisherwoman with the catch of the day!

And a fisherman with his octopus

Reading at the book giraffes (yeah, I don't know either...)

Longchamp palace 

Cooks placing navettes - a Marseille specialty cookie - in a 200+ year old oven


With school, we got to visit a workshop where santons- Christmas nativity figurines - are made

Inside the Notre Dame de la Garde church - Dad and I were here a few months ago

That's all for now lovers!!!
