The Beach

Today was pretty fun.  We went to a beach that was said to have sand, but it turned out it had really small pebbles.  I still had a lot of fun though.  I love swimming here because the water is so easy to float in.  I feel like I could swim forever.  I swam pretty far out a couple times today, but that's always a little scary because for every stroke you take going out, you have to take going back.  There were some boats tied up at the end of the harbor that I aimed to swim to, but no matter how much I swam they seemed to stay the exact same distance away--only the shore seemed to get farther away.
I decided I really like living next to a beach, especially such a pretty one like the côte d'Azur.
In case you're wondering there is same nudity at the beaches here, but not as much as I thought there would be.  There are usually a couple women who are topless whenever I go, but most of them have tops.  It's really quite scary though because these topless ladies aren't usually super models;  More often them not it's old or fat ladies that go topless.
After I got back from the beach I was on Facebook, just relaxing, and Jullie (a girl we lived with) saw that I had a Facebook and told me to add her. Then we showed each other our pictures on Facebook and talked about them.  She showed me some pictures from a summer camp she worked at, and also some of her siblings.  I showed her pictures of my Arches National Park trip, and from my mission.  It was really neat to share those things in French.  Although I was far from perfect I feel I did pretty well.
After we showed each other some music we liked, and youtube videos we liked.  I feel it was a good cultural learning experience, but it was a lot more casual and fun.
