Day of Rest before the Madness

Monday was also a day of rest. As it should be as well (who likes mondays?) We contemplated going to Marseille, Avignon, or Cassis to spend the day but ended up deciding a tour around Aix was less demanding and a good way to rest before the madness of camp. We slept in again and then went downstairs to the market to get breakfast and lunch nourriture. After breakfast we headed out to tour the town.

We went to Musee Granet to see the Picasso and Cezanne exhibit. It was amazing. My favorite part was the portion with photographs of Picasso in his chateau beneath Mt. St. Victoire which is right outside of town, near camp. Skot was enthralled with a few pieces of art, and we spent the better part of the day there. Afterwards, we found an organic cafe and had a wonderful salad of green beans, lentils, cheese, egg, and other veggies. After wandering around town a bit more, we went home. Skot read while I prepared our lunches for the week and then played guitar. We just relaxed and talked, something we decided we need to do more of when we get home. We are so busy, always having something to do or the television on. It has been great not having a television for a week and spending relaxing evenings.
