Springtime in Cap d'Agde

a tree right outside my apartment

It's starting to get a bit less windy and chilly here and now there are so many flowering trees.  Cap d'Agde really is a beautiful area, despite the fact that it's still pretty comparable to a ghost town, and probably will stay like that until the tourist season starts.

Last week a group of us decided to go to Montpellier on Friday for the night.  Finding a hotel was a pain in the ass because the Cirque du Soleil was in town, but eventually Hanel and I (being the champs we are) found one at the last minute on Friday morning before french class.  So that day after pastry our group (consisting of Hanel, Gemma, Clif, Chris, Naki, Mateo, and me) rushed back, finished packing, caught the last bus to the train station then hopped on a train to Montpellier.  It was a very fun night.  We had a little trouble finding our hotel, but eventually we made it there.  We went out for dinner (I had a starter of beef carpaccio, a main meal of sea bass and risotto, and a dessert of seasonal fruit with custard-- yum!), then we stopped at a bar or two, and found our way to Club Panama where we spent most of the night.  I will definitely make my way back to Montpellier at least once during the rest of my time in France.  There's so much more going on there than in Agde, that's for sure.
