I’m trying to figure out the next few days, and can’t seem to decide what to do. Suddenly I feel as though there’s too many neat things to see, and not enough time.  I also no longer have the energy for major sightseeing, so we’ll see how it all turns out.

Tomorrow I’m going on a day trip to Cannes, and the day after I will spend 8.5 hours on a train to get to Bordeaux.  Nearing the end, with only 12 days left!
