Sarah's school "recommended" she not attend yesterday so we had nothing to do but go out and enjoy the rare experience! By 9 am, the snow was really starting to accumulate so bundled up and went out. We all agreed, a snowstorm is different in a city than what we're used to in the country. Last night, Sarah said, "I really enjoyed the snow here in Aix today! It was definitely the first time I ever went sledding through a crosswalk or had a snowball fight during a "walk/green" light!" She met up with one of her buddies at La Rotonde where they made a snowman. Then they proceeded to go all over town giggling, sledding and throwing snowballs at people's faces....on billboards that is!
Nick and I walked through town together enjoying the winter scenery. Here we are on the Cours Mirabeau....
The little side alleys were picturesque...


We met up with Hilary to go for a photo walk around the town. We started up on a rooftop apartment where we found the whole town truly blanketed...



Back at ground level, we visited many town landmarks beginning with the Hotel de Ville and it's Plaza...






Benevolent Roi Rene looked cold but regal as we passed him on the Cours...

A visit to one of my favorites, Les Quatre Dauphins, found the four little dolphins hardly recognizable!
