A trip to Marseilles

[gauchogolfer]

I went to Marseilles for the three-day weekend, and I thought I'd share some pictures I took while I was there. I hope you enjoy them.


Cathedrale Notre Dame de la Garde

Thanks for looking, everybody!

Oh cool, I like the "one for iGary" the best. The boats and orientation of the boat reminds me very much of the Canadian "dime", or 10 cent coin.

I'll keep the restaurant in mind, although I have a hard time spending 50 Euros a person. I'm all for it, but my wife isn't a big shellfish eater, and most of these are 2 person minimums. I had some excellent rascasse when I was there, and the tajines are also nice (thanks to North Africans ).
