You remember the snow I mentioned that we got here last Tuesday? Well, it created quite a stir in Provence. The entire province shut down for a good three days, and no one had to work or lift a finger of any kind. In fact, the auto route between Aix and Marseille was shut down for two whole days. Its true that almost a foot of snow fell and the Mediterranean was partially frozen along the coast; however, the means for dealing with such a situation were laughable and perhaps even disgraceful. Maybe having no ability to deal with snow fall here is just another convenient excuse not to work... Hey, I'm not complaining - I got a five day weekend!
Still don't have a cell phone. Life has felt a little isolated with the snow and lack of phone and all. No mail. No deliveries. They say I should be able to pick it up tomorrow. Pick it up at a Tabac on the outskirts of Aix, which is either a very long walk through the slush and ice or a ride on multiple buses. I've already made the trip twice. Ahhhh, La France.
Well, here are some pictures of the snow.
