I highly recommend Marseille!!!!

I am sitting here watching the mist surround the harbor! The boats are resting, as they seem to be taking Easter off. I wonder where all these ships and boats have been to, and from where they have come. One thing is for sure, they are docked and ready go whenever their captain arrives for a ride on the Mediterranean.

I continue on down toward the exit of the harbor,  it segways into a vast body of water that extends as far as the eye can see, scanning to my left I see land mass that protrudes from the water creating sites that are ineffable! These small islands are the vacation spots for the rich and famous.

As head back toward the hotel, I see the historic buildings all around. Off to the east there is a church that sits high atop a hill (l’eglish: Notre Dame de Gard,) it is easily visible from any point in the city. The church is one of the largest and most luxurious churches and it represents the power of the bishop during the middle centuries. In modern times, it is said that the church looks after the ships as they exit the harbor and insures safe navigation of the treacherous waters. The locals are very superstitious about this and always make sure that the church is maintained at pristine levels – so it will reward the ships with safety!

If you ever have a chance to travel to this wonderful city, you will not be disappointed, it is magnificent in every way!
