Afternoon

After the lunch break walked back to the school again; the walk took slightly longer that I had expected, now I know it better. Read to which level I had been assigned, and took the first afternoon class, which mainly was about getting to know each other and memorising names. Even though it may seem that some retrograde motion in my progress has occurred, it seems to be a comfortable level to be at.

West window of the cathedral

After school walked back through the cathedral area, took a stroll inside, and at one display of archaeological excavations studied for some time the maps of Roman and Mediaeval Aix. It seems that just under my hotel many Roman ruins had been found (or that the hotel was one of the few buildings in the area before which construction through excavations were made). The Roman and Mediaeval cities did not overlap much, like usual.

Then also visited the local supermarket, just around the corner from the hotel. Its three cheese counters/shelves combined were almost as long as the wine shelves!
