The Class


This post is more for anyone living in Corvallis, Oregon. I'm still getting the newsletter from the Darkside Cinema and I can't help but notice when they're playing a french movie and somehow feel the need to tell everyone to go check it out. 

So... if you have seen the two masterpieces Gran Torino and Slumdog Millionnaire playing at the Darkside right now, then your next choice could be the Class. It's french and it's good.  

I've heard too many people say that it's over the top and not representative and yet I can't agree or disagree since I don't know the school environment well enough. But if anything, it's a point of view worth taking a look at, especially from a foreigner standpoint. If you see it, let me know what you think! more info the movie here.

Ferry boats go by. From le Pharo. Marseille.



Five minutes from the appartment, at the end of the day we like to sit in the gardens of le Pharo to watch the ferry boats leave for Corsica or Morocco.  




La Cagole. Marseille.



On the Old Harbor last night, many sailors were ending their day with a beer... 


Firefighters on Cours Estienne d'Orves. Marseille




Special fish on the old Harbor. Marseille



It was Easter in Marseille as well this weekend. We found some special fish for the occasion. 

Chocolate fish anyone?!

Rock Climbing in les Calanques...




Saturday was perfect to go rock climbing. We met up with Raph's friends and spent the day at the bottom of a cliff, or against it, or sometime on top of it even... Breathtaking view. We just need to remember to take more water next time. Still haven't swum in the Mediterranean Sea...
