I haven't had a lot of complaints since living in the French Riviera. I mean what's there to complain about? The weather has been gorgeous, the Mediterranean is an 8 minute walk from my front door and I've met some fantastic people to share my time with. But, the one complaint that I do have is the fact that everything is closed on Sundays. Literally everything. The grocery store, the coffeeshop, the kebab place around the corner that I like, the boutiques and drug stores. Everything. I don't understand what people do here on Sundays! Usually back home in Toronto I would do most of my errands on Sundays. I used to love going grocery shopping on Sundays, clothes shopping, shoe shopping and going for a cupcake at the Cupcake Shoppe near my house or going out for dinner with my friends. And, above all, the number one thing I miss most about Sundays in Toronto is just going to Starbucks to work on assignments and homework. I miss it so much. This past Sunday I figured I would have no problem going to Choopy's (the coffee shop mentioned a few posts ago) and wasting the afternoon away sipping tea and doing my Advanced Macroeconomics assignment. But no, I couldn't. It was closed, so I was stuck at my apartment doing homework :(
I guess I will have to plan better next weekend and do my homework on Friday or Saturday, but how fun is that? Bummer.
That's the way Sundays always were Up until the late 80s early 90s. It was family time, church time, a day to rest. Now the beat goes on 24/7 it's not really that healthy. Learn to enjoy it. "and on the 7th day God rested" If He needs rest I'm sure we do. We used to go for a Sunday afternoon drive or walk. Love you! xoxoxoxoxo
