Day 6 (Isle sur la Sorgue)

Today was the big market day in Isle sur la Sorgue. It quite the event thousands of people amble through the street to touch, taste, and purchase the gorgeous wares on sale. The little stalls crowded almost every street selling everything from clothing to food to home goods. There was a fantastic stall selling beautiful woodwork: absolutely breathtaking ladles and bowels. There was even a gentleman selling intricate pocket knives delicately carved. I wanted to buy one for my brother but I wasn't sure about how to best get it home, maybe I can mail it. I didn't buy anything today, instead just letting my eyes take in the spectacle. Lauren and I skipped lunch with the group to go eat at a river side cafe. This time we ended up at La Bellevue which was located in this wonderful spot next to the river basin: beautiful! I had a Nordique salad which came with smoked salmon, pickled herring, shrimp, onions, olives, tomatoes, and lettuce. There was a little too much fish for the amount of lettuce, but other then that it was pretty good. On the way back to the house we stopped for some French ice cream. I got cappuccino, it was delicious! In the afternoon we relaxed while studying our French culture lessons. Dinner was just a few finger foods including olives, cheese, and French bread filled with olives. I was relatively bored so I snuck out to fix myself a cup of Chai. After dinner we walked around the town again enjoying the cool night air. Night ended well into the morning as me, Lauren, Tia, and Holly gossiped away. Classes start tomorrow which is really exciting.
