Update from the road

So I am currently in our hotel room in Montpellier typing on my moms iPhone so this post won't be long but I thought I'd give you a quick update on our mother daughter travels. Well first off my mom came in to London on Wednesday. After being so far away from home for a few months, it was really great to see family. It was just what I needed after the end of classes and the beginning of my two months of travel. For two days we hung around London and I got to show her my life for this semester. We went to borough market, we ate fish and chips, we shopped on Oxford street, we went to afternoon tea, and we even saw two musicals in the west end, les miserables and Chicago. On Friday morning, however, we left for the French riviera! We flew into nice but stayed in Cannes at the most beautiful hotel right across from the beach. The sun was shining And the weather was beautiful which was much needed. Seriously, London weather really does live up to it's reputation. Anyway, while in Cannes we rented a car so we could also drive up to Monte Carlo and some of the other surrounding villages which to me were the most beautiful of all. The drive to all of these places was possibly the prettiest thing I have ever seen. We drove along the beach with the ocean on one side and village dotted mountains on the other. Ok, so I am about to run out of wifi minutes so I have to wrap this up, but after Cannes we took a train to Montpellier where we are staying for the night tonight and tomorrow we head off to Barcelona! I will continue to keep updating as we go along. Much love as always!
