"Run Mario run!"
Marseille is an amazing town - lots to do and see and all close to the Old Port. Today we decided to visit the beach about a two hour walk. The way to the beach followed the port and shoreline, and being Saturday, there were many enjoying the sand and water, and there were two volleyball courts. Many of the players older, but very skilled playing 3-on-3.
Arc de Triump for the WWI
We saw a sign for an amphitheater and went in the direction but could not find it. Instead we entered a private area and were locked in. A car had exited, but we took little notice about the gate that was about to shut. Julie yelled, "run Mario" thinking I could get to the gate before it closed. No one else was around and we searched for the gate switch. After about 15 minutes people came out and opened the gate. What a relief! There was fear we would be trapped for a few hours.
Today we encountered two weddings. One wedding was arabic and there was lots of music and singing. There were five policeman around who we chatted with. I asked why so many police and they advised it was because of this arabic wedding. "It can sometimes be crazy", one policeman said. He was serious. We told them we were from Canada, and they cheered. We gave each a Canada pin, and they were so appreciative.
A beautiful location for wedding picures
There are many side-streets with unique shops and restaurants
