Day 9: Visit to the Beach
... thing is that we payed nothing to come swim here. It was free, which I thought was dumb because the government could easily make money out of such a beautiful place. I would recommend this place to everyone who likes to swim and enjoys their days outside taking the sun. This place is also a great place to take picture in. The were countless things and ways to take pictures for those that enjoy taking shots of our environment. ...
We return to the ancestral manse
... As always, the venerable Colombe d’Or restaurant, which guarded the entrance to the village, was surrounded, like a swarm of black flies, by Mercedes, BMWs and Jaguars.

Le Flaneur
Your first steps into a foreign country are a bit like your first steps as a child, with the ground beneath feeling slightly less stable than when you decided to buy the plane ticket in first place.

Are you the toddler who is putting his hand too close to the stove-top flame because it looks interesting, ...
