Feeling Thoreau-y

Sooooo I am still in the south of France: last Friday I went to Aboni's village and have been exploring her village and the surrouning areas. It has been a nice experience, because for a long time I have been removed from nature. I forgot how beautiful rivers are in it of itself and how huge mountains came be, how crisp and fresh air can be, and most importantly how much just being in nature can clear the mind and soul. I feel very centered being out here and I think I am now very much ready to take on the next 6 weeks of work up ahead.

Aboni almost fell off the mountain after this pic :")

A mountain-lake combo that I saw on a train ride

The alps

But yeah aside from the nature out here, I also got to see some pretty cool towns around. One of them is Gap, it is "big" and had a lot of cute streets and homes

Like this one

The other town was Briançon, which is the highest city in France. It was really fun to visit. We had to climb a lot because we wanted to make it to the city's old fortified wall so we could overlook the mountains (we calculated it to be 360 ft we had to climb up (or about 30 stories)). We literally almost got hit by falling snow so many times and slipped on snow and ice so much to the point that our bodies are ache-y and sore T-T but it was all worth it.

We had to go all the way up there

Found a god at the top :0

Proof that I made it to the top

I was leaking spinal fluid out of my ear by the end

The streets of Briançon

Outside of that, I have been spending time with Aboni and her PR. Her PR has two cute brother cats and lowkey I am obsessed with them. And when I am not obsessing with them, we have been chatting, eating (a lot), and playing games.

Them play fighting

Mini pastas that were quite yummy :)

We played this, Dubble, and Uno.

But yeah that is all from me, the next time you hear from me I hope to have a routine and a budget that I would be following so I can actually beging achieving my New Year's resolutions (I am unfortunately yet to begin T-T). I hope you all are doing good and I am excited to see everyone's posts. Have a great week!!!

Your pics actually make this area seem nice, lol. Sometimes I forget to take pics since I'm starting to get use to it (and also don't wanna spam people with the same views)...but I'm glad you enjoyed it here. Maybe you can visit again :)
