We checked out of our hostel this morning and headed to the train station to get everyone's reservations in order, and to lock up our bags for the day. We then walked towards the old "acropolis area" of the town and hiked the hill up to the ruins of an old chataeu and took photos from the beautiful panoramic view of the clear aquamarine water. We also got to hang out by the natural spring and watch as a newly married deaf couple climbed the hill to take their wedding photos from the same spot. We then walked down the hill and towards the rocky shore where we sat and tried to catch some sun. The clouds however would not have it and we walked along the water instead, collecting sea glass and porcelain. We also met a nice grad student from Maryland who was starved for some good American conversation, and he had only been here 10 days! Try 3 months! Oh well. We've walked around much of the town now and seen what there is to see, including the orangeries and naked women, old and young along the shore.
We are heading to Paris on the sleeper train tonight and Mary and I will continue to Honfleur to check in to our hotel and finish our project for class on monday.
Instead of saying hello to everyone on a bus, French young teen girls give the double kiss greeting to their favorite friends only. Talk about being singled out.
