Exchanging cold and damp London for sunny and warm Provence today.  Made it to the airport via tube and the flight to Marseille went remarkably well.  Way too warmly dressed for the south of France.  Shed our coats and scarves and took the bus to Aix.  The town has changed quite a bit from two tears ago.  The first change we encountered was that the bus from the airport no longer drops you conveniently at the foot of the Cours Mirabeau,rather at the police station on the outskirts of town.  After a little adjustment, arrived at the apartment just 10 minutes late and "voila!" all the trials and tribulations of the journey melted away.  What a great location!  Right at the head of the Cours with incredible views and all the sights and sounds of this remarkable town at our fingertips.

Our Building -We are right at the Tippy Top

The apartment is lovely and incredibly spacious compared with our close quarters in Paris.
