the windy city

So not only did eating raw mussels give me food poisoning, it also left me with a little nasty bug of a parasite in my stomach. So I had to cancel my trip to Marseille this past weekend because I fell ill once again. Hopefully, it's all over, because by Saturday night I was feeling good again and was able to meet up with my friends in Marseille on Sunday and not completely lose out on my train ticket.

I was most excited to take a boat to the island of the Chateau d'If, an old prison. Except it was too windy so no boats were going out. So next plan... coffee and croissant at a cafe, then a kitschy trolley/train tour to the top of a hill where we visited Notre Dame de la Garde. And we almost got blown off the steps. It was so incredibly windy in the whole town, but at the top of the hill, I could barely keep my eyes open. But when I did, the view was incredible.
