... pour people out onto the streets, drinks in hand. Music comes from all corners; heavy bass from the discos mixes with the melodies of guitars in the streets. Teenagers on motorized scooters whip through the crowd, doing catwalks, honking horns, screeching tires, and narrowly missing pedestrians.

A group of people walks past me, and as they do, one of them smashes a liquor bottle on the ground not so far from where I'm sitting. The response is quick as ...

Enough of that political rant – Uni has been going relatively well, keeping me busy with assessments most weeks, Russian and History last week, and another Russian one this week. My marks are OK, and I’m not worrying too much about it, just doing the best I can...be bothered to do, although did very well ...

... t speak french: baguette, coffee, pan de chocolate, fresh squeezed oj, all fresh fresh fresh. Then we hit the market, vendors were begging us to try free samples of meat, cheese, honey, fruit, olives, you name it. Needless to say, we found our lunch for the day.
Oh; did I forget to mention it was Halloween? Not that it really matters, since the french do NOT really understand what halloween is. We decided to not even ...

Over the last months of travel, we’ve met and talked with many people about what we’re doing. As you can imagine, we’re greeted with many responses. Most can’t fathom a trip without end or adgenda. Some say they admire what we’re doing. Setting off onour own, turning our back on convention and creating an adventure. Others think we’re fools. Although the woman who said that ...

... for a start, is very different, especially for languages. It seems that the French love grammar, and so Russian is becoming very tedious, having lectures on why each letter goes where. The written and spoken lessons are going pretty well though, and the teacher is great, though is mad about pronounciation and accent.

... When we arrived at their house, we were greeted warmly by their black sheepdog mix named Tara (just like the house in "Gone With the Wind"). We entered their cute little cottage-style home, and immediately Bernard invited Michael into his "man cave," where all of his military paraphernalia is displayed (see the video). In addition to all of the photos and artifacts in Bernard's cave, he ...

Suffice to stay it stands up to the best and is a very near third. ANAZC (our extremely limited view of Austrialia/NewZealand). Ranging in slightly farmy and flat in some regions to very rolling and pretty in others (our favorite was the Morington Peninsula) the ANZAC region would have to rate after the ...

... all the dogs in the area, and to see that they were welcome. After lunch, we decided to go to Musée Granet, which housed some of Cézanne's earlier works, and actually had a huge Cezanne show a few years back. It was interesting to note that while walking around town in Aix you can trace Cezanne's steps by following brass plates in the sidewalk. It really is interesting to think that he walked in the same places, just a few years ago. After the museum we walked back to the B&B to ...

... home and all my stuff is there...when I go to campus in the fall, my parents and I make a month long trip out of it, because we have to travel to SC from south FL, load all my stuff into the room, get me settled into my room, etc....and on top of that, we normally organize all my things in the summer time so that it's ready to take up to school...none of my stuff was organized at the time because we were not expecting an early home coming. So, to ...
