1. Just the other night,

I learned how to pronounce the name of this city. I already knew the end, but had never heard anyone pronounce the beginning. It came up in a novel I'm reading, so took the opportunity to look it up.

3. Look up 'Two Towns in Provence' by MFK Fisher.

A memoire of Aix and Marseille.

5. Thanks!

Sounds like it's right up my alley.

2. Aix is looking good

Went to school there for a year many moons ago. The IAU up on Rue du Bon Pasteur. Unforgettable.

4. That's a 15 minute walk from my front door, up by the hospital.

6. Love the dimensions of that town

Totally walkable. Lots of interesting nooks and crannies. Majestic and beautiful, more an overgrown village than a city, with all the cultural life of the latter. And the markets…it will always be one of my favorite places on earth.

7. Well, I've gotten off of my butt & figured out a new image posting site there will be market shots

8. Looking forward to it
