Photos from Marseille

The last week in May we took a really early train out of Kings Cross and headed south to Marseille. Six hours later, we arrived, greeted by our friend Jon (who flew in from Virginia). We rented a lovely flat a block away from the harbor. This is the view from our balcony. And this is the terrace where we'd wait out the hottest hours of the day, drinking wine and eating cheese. The food in Marseille was wonderful (except for the bouillabaisse, which I'll explain later). We ate twice at La Souk, a North African restaurant with fantastic couscous. We did a lot of walking, as is typical of our holidays, and one day walked to the small fishing village of Vallon des auffes. More to come...
