good weekend

I ended up having a pretty good weekend, despite my little, annoying sickness. Friday night, we went out to an Italian restaurant for dinner and then we went to the theatre. My salad was so-so, but the other girls' lasagna and pizza were to die for!! Romeo et Juliette was quite interesting to say the least. We had pretty good seats, but it was unbelievably hot in the theatre. The dance was a kind of contemporary ballet, definitely not your typical classical ballet. They had some unique costumes and they made it very ouvertly sexual. Like I said, it was interesting, but I really enjoyed it overall.
Saturday morning, we woke up super early to catch a bus to Uzès to go to a market. The market was cool.. lots of yummy smelling and locally produced fruits, veggies, honey (lavendar honey is AMAZING!), olive oil, spices, soaps, etc. The clothes/jewelry were kinda boring but it was neat just walking around looking at and smelling everything.
After leaving we headed to the Pont du Gard which was a huge touristy attraction, but I really, really enjoyed it and would love to go back someday! There'll be photos later, but it was this huge Roman bridge that went over a river. We sat by the river for a few hours and just read and relaxed.. it was very nice.
Sunday. Yesterday was the French Mother's day. Natalie picked me up around 10 in the morning and we drove to a little village nearby to get fruit and veggies for the week. She likes to get her produce directly from the farmers because she said it's not too expensive, it's organic and it tastes better. I agree :) She got some really yummy cherries, some asparagus, tomatoes, zucchini, and the best cantalope/melon thing I've ever tasted! For lunch we went to her best friend's house where we had a HUGE meal! It was really good, but I wasn't feeling all that great :(
Around 5ish, we (me, Natalie, Salomé and Jules) went to Natalie's mother and stepfather's house for tea. They really have the coolest house ever. If we go again I'm definitely taking more pictures of the inside. After tea, we drove Salomé back to her dad's, which is about an 45 minutes away and I was completely exhausted (and feeling yucky) so after our quick, light dinner (of fresh, yummy fruit and veggies!) I passed out!
It's raining this morning.. but I'm feeling okay so far. I'm excited about my last week of France.. I hope I start feeling 100percent so I can enjoy it to the fullest.

I miss you all and love you!! Hopefully there'll be pics up later!
