trip to aix en provence






once in marseille, we changed plans and found a local hotel in lieu of the ibis chain hotel we booked before. this one has more character and it's 2/3 the price. plus, they have a spot for the bikes.

after our typical hotel breakfast (croissant, bread, cafe and oj) we got on the road to aix. getting out of this town is like passing thru the layers of hell. there is construction, hills, insane traffic, one way streets. basically, it sucks. they do have a nice palace though (see photo)


















once we got out of town it was all good though. the hills turned into a mt. with a great bike lane and beautiful scenery. i dont feel like writing now, so here are some photos




(me in a sunflower field i swear, i had that jersey before i took the job)
