Saturdays, Nothing to do today but walk.

Saturdays are slow for us because all the JA are with their families where they belong.  We start our day with planing and preparation for the up coming week.  About 2:00 PM we go out to explore Marseille on foot.  A difficult task when your have no meniscus in your knee.  But I push through it.  Today Mom and I went and walked through the "Panier".  It is an older quarter of Marseille.  No, this is not Paris.  This is Marseille baby!  A totally different feel.  I love walking through Paris, but Marseille will always be in my heart as the place of good people, good food, Fascinating Arab influence, warm days, Warm nights, lunch with the JA and Home!  Can't wait until Tuesday.  That is when we take Florian and Coralie (Brother and Sister combo) to lunch in Cassis for their JA interviews.  Florian is planing on a mission in January.  He was baptized last November.
Notre Dame de La Major.  This is a magnificent church built in 1852.  The architecture is awesome inside and out.  A picture cannot show the beauty of the workmanship. 


I just sat here for some time admiring the history and workmanship.  And it was cooler inside and peaceful which made it a bit more accommodating.  It's hot outside!
