Weekend ballade

Some people might want to stay at home, stay on their comfy couch watching their favourite films or playing video games. While for us we love going out even though Mistral is very common in the South. Even winter season is not a hindrance for us to go out on a weekend. The temperature in Marseilles during winter is not very cold compared to the North of France and this is one reason we are taking advantage of this wonderful chance in exploring our environment even if it would mean thick layered shirts and jackets ! Recently we have discovered another beautiful place to visit. We are talking about Sormiou and we have learned about this place through my Papa's best friend. We went their for a small walk. This place is very nice, peaceful and perfect for a simple walk. There are also some people who are doing simple rock climbing. We did not hike but we just stayed there for about 1 and 1/2 hours playing with our parents and appreciating the real nature. And again, we had our little pick nick there since we have a rendez vous with Papa's best friend at 2 in the afternoon.
We did enjoy the day like this...a very simple family get away. We went to see our friend and we are off to Luminy and this time with friends. We were about 3 pairs of couple, 2 single friends and 4 children and 2 babies (twins). We have enjoyed the walk with friends. They have had their conversation between them while my Kuya Basti did not stop playing, running around and me looking at him inside my backpack a little bit sleepy ! Suddenly, there were 5 young men with their motorbikes who took the way where there were a lot of young and old alike promenading. As everyone knows that motor bike is forbidden. So one of our friend who works as a volunteer fireman called the police department to report what we just have witnessed. Sometimes people are bizaare we don't know if they are thinking or not. Men in motor bikes could be a danger because there were a lot of children running because they are confident of the nature. If only some people are smart enough to think of their actions....things will be different. For us children we look up to adults as a good example but when we see people like them it's quite frustrating. Anyway, the good thing about it was we made an action and like my Mom said that we cannot stay blind and mute when something like this happens !

Anyhow, that day was extra ordinary because we were able to do 2 walks : one with family and with friends. We even had our little snacks at Papa's best friends. After that long journey, they have prepared hot chocolate and tea accompanied with Gâteaux des Rois et Gallette de Roi !
