Christmas Markets in Aix

So every year all around Europe the Christmas Markets appear. They are not just little street fairs but full on houses filled with every christmas item you can think of. And the whole town of Aix is lit up like a Christmas tree. Cours Mirabeau and all the fountains look absolutely gorgeous. These pictures dont give it justice, but its a glimpse, and they stay up until mid-January.

A bit blurry, but this was us walking home after school.

Belated Thanksgiving!

Yes it has been a while, I have been extremely lazy. But better late than never. This post is about thanksgiving! Since they don't celebrate in France, we got about 20 students from my school together and went to the Swedish girls' house to cook. Well, we tried, but copious amounts of vin chaud got in the way. But it was delicious in the end :)

My homemade vin chaud. Hot red wine with cinnamon, anise stars, clovers, sugar, apples, oranges, and lemon zest. My new all-time favorite beverage.
