At the train station in Marseille I met a few other Americans so we kept each other company while our train was delayed and also on the train ride to Nice.
On the first night here my hostel had a spaghetti and wine party for 2€. My roommates and in all went together. It was like being in a sorority again; I forgot how much fun it was to live with a group of girls (especially from all around the world). After dinner we walked to the beach and hung out.
Us at the beach:
The next morning I went scuba diving in the Mediterranean Sea. It had been about 2 years since I've been diving, but I remembered all of the basic rules. A lifetime scuba certification comes in handy; who would have thought I'd have the opportunity to dive in the Mediterranean? While diving I saw many tropical fish and starfish and was even able to have a fish eat out of my hand.
Views from the dive boat:
While in Nice I also walked around the old part of town where there are tons of little shops. I also went to a Russian orthodox church that requires women to be in skirts and hair covered. Here is a photo of the outside; the inside did not allow pictures to be taken.
Cathédrale Orthodoxe Saint-Nicolas de Nice:
Tomorrow I will travel to Monaco for the day.
Until then,
Kristin
