... in devil ears, 1 batman, 1 Spiderman, a copule dudes in masks, 2 girls with just some random fake blood on their face, 3 poorly represented Village people, and a guy who we think was Peter Pan, but he had cardboard fairy wings so we're not sure. All in all, Halloween ended up being a pretty fun night, but we certainly missed being home for this day! Now we are off to the Rhone Valley for some great wine... in a CAR! Stay tuned.

... figured this out and got on the right boat - well, a different boat anyhow. <br><br>Driving onto the boat we followed the sign that said &#8216;Embarkments&#8217;. I love how so many words in French are similar to what we use in English, but with slightly different meaning. I certainly feel as though I am embarking on something this evening. Something completely new and unplanned - even to us who hardly do ...

... Enjoyed the film (but enjoyed the post-cinema demi-fraise - beer with strawberry syrup - more) and was proud at how well I managed to follow the French, without much concentration! A sign of improvement I hope!<br><br>This weekend in particular has been fantastique! As everyone else's parents have come to visit, Amy and I spent our Saturday shopping, eating and generally having a good time without alcohol. As usual, I got very excited about a sweet shop and between us we ...

Bonjour avec Aix-en-Provence Cherie<br>Since the last news we have visited the Cote D'Azur spending time at Monte Carlo and Antibes. We stayed near Antibes at a place called Biot and at night you could hear the seals at nearby Marineland - very strange. It was still quite hot and stickey with more mozzies. Monte Carlo was wall to wall money with billions of dollars in boats and cars. Antibes was similar but it had a lovely old town as well.<br>We arrived ...

... universities, but we found completely the opposite. All the staff there are young, enthusiastic, and very helpful, and there are computers available there to use at any time. Now we have an address, we'll be able to get our student card soon and take part in the 'integration week' (I don't think you can make any comparison to our freshers' weeks, though we will see!). The university is very different to Bath, lots of different campuses, and not as tidy. As you ...

... of my trip to France we named it Filet Mignon, which in French means a cute piece of steak! Then Mom, Dad, my girlfriend Libby, and I left to meet Aunt Leslie at Dulles (Libby is also studying abroad!). Despite the stress of making sure we were on time we made it to Dulles, met Aunt Leslie, and made it through to our gate without a hitch. Mom, Dad, and Aunt Leslie waited with us until it was time to go. Mom only cried a little and I made sure to give the ...

Bon jour from Aix-en-Provence, France! Sorry we haven't written in a while, but we have not had a good internet connection in quite some time. Let us catch you up. After seeing the sights in Granada, we drove northeast to Madrid, our first really big city since Paris. Ryan did a good job of navigating the busy streets in the inner city, and we soon found a parking garage (without the help of our hostel staff. We emailed them multiple times to ask about ...

... to the left, after about 2 miles finally got the first glimpse of the sea - here there is a choice of routes - I went left to the Belvedere which gave a magnificent prospect, (even if it challenged my vertigo in places though it was easy enough to keep clear of the edges) under cloudless skies, over the Calanques as far as the Bec de l'Aigle at La Ciotat. Two words of warning - it is a total wilderness park with no food, water or loos so go prepared. The ...

... were glass display cases with what used to be colorful displays with hand-drawn timelines and maps but now appeared to be faded construction paper that was falling down on top of whatever skeletons were in the cases, no thanks to the scotch tape that had lost its tack long ago. And the staff, three or four ladies ranging in age, was just sitting in front of a sunny window, chatting and gossiping away.) Maybe this is just how the French do their museums. Or it could just be in ...
