Packing in the morning worked well, got up at 6, packed and showered, then jumped on the bus to Marseilles. It's about a 4 hour bus ride from Toulouse, I turned on my iPod and slept most of the way there. When we got to Marseilles, we checked into our hotel which is located in an old military compound. It was actually pretty nice and situated close to the city harbor. After putting our bags in the room, we went out to explore. There is an amazing church at the top of a hill near our hotel which we decided to hike up to. Any pictures I post can hardly do justice to the scenery surrounding the hill and the church itself. Luckily, we had great weather.

When we got back, everyone was pretty hungry so we went and got mussels and french fries since it's a coastal town. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed the mussels. I doubt they would taste like anything without being drenched in a garlic butter sauce, but that made them really good.
BEFORE
AFTER
In the evening we found the USA England game on TV in the city. Unfortunately this was after the England goalie failed miserably at his job so I couldn't give the Brits sitting next to us crap. The weather outside was nice, so we were watching on a big screen TV sitting at a table outside one of the pubs. Went dancing at a local club after this and had a great time.
