Moustiers Sainte Marie et Les Gorges de Verdun

So I know it's been a really long time since I've posted, but the last few times I tried to upload pictures it wouldn't work for some reason. And I've been really busy with classes so I haven't had a lot of free time. But I have some now, so here you go! Yay, it worked!

To the right is a picture I took in a little village called Moustiers Sainte Marie. I went there on a trip with a bunch of other study abroad students on Sept. 28 (I remember because it was my birthday). The city is known for being really picturesque and also because there is a church there where miracles are supposed to happen all the time. It's on a mountain and it's really pretty there, which you can see from the picture on the left. I took a bunch!


This one was at Les Gorges de Verdun. It's basically a smaller version of the Grand Canyon. And it's not holes in the Earth, it's like mountains. We rode the bus up them so we could take pictures there. They said we were going to be able to climb a little but it was kind of dangerous so we just stopped by the side of the road to take pictures. That's me and my friend Celina to the right. And that's her down there to the left. We rented these paddle boats and were able to go out on the river! There's Celina trying to push us off the beach.







Haha, so I thought I was taking a picture but I was actually taking a video. Just thought it was kind of funny : )
