Moving/ Le "Big Chill"

So the assistantship is over... my last day of work was the 14th of April and I'm here until June 29th... so with all this free time on my hands and no real plans to travel until June, what's a girl to do???

Chill out on the beach, of course, hence the title of this blog posting! In the span of a few weeks, Nice has become a summer paradise and many a day has been spent lounging on its rocky beaches as the turquoise waves of Mediterranean kiss the shore. The weather has been consistently in the mid-20's (degrees celcius) and the sun has repeatedly greeted us with its presence- much appreciated by all!
Life hasn't been just "play" however... This week saw a lot of departures as assistants leave Nice to go back home to their respective countries. This week also saw "le grand déménagement", as my roomie Ceala (who went back to the States yesterday) and I stuggled to pack everything up and move out of our apartment by April 30th (not an enviable task I admit). Of course, I left packing till the last possible minute but with Sab's help I was able to move the bulk of my shit...er... stuff over to my new "abode" chez my favourite Brit, Maria, where I'll be staying until my big trip in June.

Re: the trip, it's official, I got my ticket last Friday! So from June 9th to 24th me and Sab will be touring Spain, Portugal and Morocco. I'm super excited about the trip, I did the exact trip with my friend Jesse two years ago and it was awesome... I'm particularily excited about going back to explore Morocco a bit more as the last time I went we didn't get to go as far south (to the desert) as we would have liked. Hurrah for the Interrail pass and unlimited train/sea/international/intercontinental travel!!!!!!!!

Let the good times roll!
