Hey
everybody. Its Lexi Green...Again! I’m
pretty sure this is my last day blogging though, and then I think it’s Lexi
Bowman’s turn!
Well today was the first
full day that we stayed in St. Raphael, and it was so much fun! Since we were out so late last night to watch
the Bastille Day fireworks on the beach, we decided to sleep in and have a
relaxing day at the beach! Because we
slept in so late, we missed the free complementary breakfast that is served at
our hotel every morning. Instead, we
started off our day with a casual brunch at Le Sud, which is just down the
boulevard from our hotel. There, we were
served with authentic southern cuisine and had wonderful service. After we finished our meal, we left to go
back to the hotel to get ready for our day at the beach!
The girls and I stood around the hotel lobby
for about ten minutes just trying to get everyone covered with sunscreen and
hats! We then called a cab and began our
first day on the beautiful beaches of France.
Since we had such a late brunch, at about 11:30 A.M. or 12:00 P.M., we weren't hungry again until later that night at dinnertime, so there wasn't much time we didn't spend at the beach. Even though
Hailey was smothered in sunscreen, she still managed to get the worst sunburn
of us all! So once we realized that
spending so many hours in the sun straight wasn't a very good Idea, we all
decided to take a walk down the beach and see what kinds of shops and stores we
could find. Though after a while, we had
to go back because we all missed the sun and being outside!
It was such a beautiful day in France, it
would have been impossible to have better weather! The temperature stayed in the high 70s and
low 80s, so it wasn’t too hot, but also not too cold to splash around in the
water a little bit! It was also nice and
sunny, with just a few clouds to keep the shade every once in a while. Even though we had a simple day, it was
wonderful just being able to relax on the beaches of St. Raphael instead of
running around and seeing how many attractions we could get to in one day!
So far in the trip, I have come to the
conclusion that no matter what we are doing—sleeping, eating, relaxing, or
running—just about every day in France is a good one! When the sun started setting and the tide was
rolling back in, the girls and I told the cab driver on our way back to the
hotel to stop at a local supermarket and let us pick up a few groceries to keep
around in the room. After making a quick
stop to buy some things for sandwiches, some bags of chips, a few pieces of fruits,
and some packs of sodas, we headed back to our hotel for the day. Once we got back, we changed into some dry
and comfortable clothes and made ourselves dinner with our newly bought
groceries. After eating a pretty decent
meal, we turned on a movie and began our cycle through the showers, because
even though this room was much bigger than the one in Paris, there was still
only one bathroom to it! I decided to
blog while I waited for my turn and watched the movie, except it is all in
French.
We took a guess that it was some
sort of love story, but I don’t know if we will ever find out! Well it’s my turn for the bathroom now and I would
rather not give up my turn, so I guess I’ll say goodbye for the night! Au
revior!
