Tour of Aix and Market

I decided to take today slow after yesterday. I woke up late, chatted online for a bit and then headed off. I caught the bus with no problem and was going to get something to eat but remembered that there was an English Tour for Old City Aix at 10. I headed straight there (it was 9:52). After I bought my ticket (thank you student age for the cheap price) I caught my tour just as they were off.

The lady was very nice and there were about 20 of us. The tour took me to most of the places I got lost in yesterday, although there were some new places. Also, I learned about the "rules of Aix" and how no building can have more than three floors, all of the buildings have to have aligned balconies, etc. I thought that it was an hour, but it was two. It was an okay tour if I only had a day or two in Aix, but I have a week! I grabbed only a couple of photos and then headed to get some food.

We had past a market during the tour and I immediately returned to it. It was just fruits and veggies so I got myself a nectarine before the vendors packed up and then headed to the phone store. Now, I bought a phone number and minutes on my computer through Skype, but for whatever reason last night it did not work. I called Justin and my sister and both called me back and when we connected nobody could hear anything. Since I have my "interview" with the kibbutz tomorrow, I decided I needed a more reliable source and so I bought a phone (so much for saving money with the Skype number!). I need to try it tonight as during the day I was having issues getting the calls to go through.

After all of that, I was starving and headed to a cafe. Now, I know that I mentioned Marseille had a lot of cultures intertwined and there were a lot of Italian places to eat, but in Aix, it is French and Italian. I wanted to stick with French, but it was too expensive so I went with the Italian. I got lasagna and salad, which was really good but it was so hot (I really did not want hot food but I had few options). I soaked up the sauce and read a bit of my book.
