Today, a much needed sleep-in allowed everyone to be refreshed and ready for a day trip to Cannes. The group left for the train and arrived at around 1:30. Myself and a group of students ate lunch immediately. It was quite possibly the most delicious hamburger I've ever tasted! The food in France is definitely something I will miss. Lunch was followed by some shopping in some of the more affordable stores in the area (ex: Zara, a higher-end H&M in my opinion) Next, my friends and I adventured to the beach for a couple of hours. The water was once again clear and warm. The beach itself was crowded however not too noisy and very clean. The scenery was amazing, it was a mixture of a tropical island and a yacht emporium! The extravagance of Cannes itself is enough to blow anyone away, as soon as you see a family arrive in helicopter to the beach your mind usually wanders away from the natural beauty around you. The group reassembled in front of the beach entrance to enjoy breakdancing by the local young people. Their enthusiasm and talent for the sport and crowd definitely shows- somewhere around 75 people were watching. Next, a pizza picnic with the St. Laurent group on the beach took place just where we had spent the afternoon. Our group had the option of seeing a Latino dance flash-mob; however, we had just missed the performance when dinner was ending. Myself along with friends ended up walking around Cannes and enjoying more of the sights. Although the evening activity wasn't as lively as it usually is we entertain each other and take the opportunity to get to know our surroundings.
