Free days in France!

Hello!! I have not written in a few days because we haven't really had any activities since Monaco.  On Wednesday we went to Maeva, which is just another hotel in Cannes, and we had class their in their conference room which is half inside and half outside.  After class, we came back to Antibes around 1pm and did grocery shopping and just ran errands.   It was a relaxing evening.  Yesterday and today were free days, meaning we don't have any program activities scheduled and we can do whatever we want.  Yesterday we all just slept in for the first time in a long time and then went to the outdoor market and bought fresh fruits and food.  After the market, some of us just laid by the pool and listened to music and just gave our bodies a day of relaxation since we have been going non-stop since we got here.  It was a great day!  After we laid out, we all made homemade dinners instead of going out.  I just made spaghetti, but my roommates had shrimp that they bought at the market.  Almost everyone went to bed early last night since most of us had to get up around 7am this morning to catch a train to Ventimiglia, Italy.  Fridays are open market days in Ventimiglia.  They had hundreds of street vendors out there by the water and throughout the streets selling clothes, purses, jewelry, food, etc.  It was a great experience.  We stayed in Ventimiglia for about 3 hours then headed back to Antibes.  Now I'm going to spend the rest of my free day just relaxing and taking it easy because tomorrow our schedule resumes and we leave for Port Cros at 6:45am.  We won't have any internet access there so I will post again Monday evening when we come back!  Love you all
