Le Vieux Port

My dad and I are in Marseille for a couple nights. Our hotel is perfectly situated along Le Vieux Port and today you can still find fish markets aplenty. Marseille is the oldest city in France dating back over 2,600 years when it was originally founded by Greek settlers. It is a vibrant town full of diversity, but with equally as much crime. Even the police officers here don't walk the streets alone. We noted that they walk in pairs or triplets.

Still, it's quite picturesque.









For dinner I had some lamb chops that were cooked perfectly 'saignant', rare, or directly translated as 'bloody'. I still need to figure out how to get the white balance worked out on my camera.
