 For this third week, we visited Cannes. Even though the day was cloudy and it rained a bit,

Cannes still looked stunning. When we arrived at the port and looked towards the beach, I

was amazed to see that we were surrounded by jellyfish, which are a favorite snack for

turtles. The shoreline was bustling with life-tiny shrimp, small fish, jellyfish, and snails. It felt

like a lively underwater scene come to life. What really surprised me was seeing so many

jellyfish right by the shore. I’ve been to other beaches before, but I’ve never seen this many

jellyfish up close. It made me realize how different each beach can be and how much sea life

is right there in the shallows, just waiting to be noticed. The sight of so many creatures all

together was really fascinating and a bit unexpected, adding a special touch to my visit to

Cannes.

 Over the first week of our study abroad program I have learned a fair bit, mostly concerning the cultural norms of the French, but also about marine biology. We covered a handful of interesting concepts, such as the many different species of fish, their environments, and their evolutionary adaptations, we even got to cut open some fish for first hand biology experience (I couldn't stomach dissecting them). The trip to the open air fish market was exciting, I had never seen anything like it before; although, the tram ride to the market had us packed in like sardines. I've gotten to eat almost as many species of fish as we've studied. Tomorrow we go snorkeling in the Mediterranean, I can't wait. I hope there are no icebergs.
