i really am terrible at blogging....

this is very long and if anyone actually reads this...well then, im impressed. and thanks!

anyhoo so this week we didn't have school because it was toussaints( all saints day). a lame candy free holiday that they choose to celebrate over halloween. i will someday write a blog detailing a number of times and situations where france lacks logical, this abandonnement of halloween will definitely be ...

So this morning a grumpy linda rolled out of bed at 6 am ready to get on the school bus and start class. yep that's right. i've gone back in time to highschool.....

The grumpiness wore off tho as becca and i trekked down to the bus stop. i can't even describe how beautiful watching the sunrise over the gulf was. the sky had a pink color, and all the hills were a pale blue/ green in the distance the sea was periwinkle. it was definitely a far better ...

Hey team!!!!
so 2 weeks into france and i've yet to write a thing. im so bad at this game. meh.
today i went to the beach, it was wonderful!!!! becca thought it was cold, she was wrong :)

so apparently sainte maxime is infiltrated by german tourists, who knew? the only frenchies on the beach were...well enjoying themselves quite a bit..... ;-)
oh frenchies. :)

omg do ...

Just paid a fleeting visit to St Tropez on the way to Avignon (so we thought)... had to be done really.. a quick wander around and a very quick coffee. It was much smaller than I thought. Lots of nice boats but loads of tourists too.... that was about it!

... handstands and all the rest.... spend hours cleaning the sand out of our bags and clothes! The next day was a stunning 26 degree day.. so so so nice. We never thought we would be at the beach again. Were tempted to stay but found out the next 2 days were not going to be great weather. Sadly we headed off at 4pm to head to Avignon.. Saying goodbye to the med forever was very hard.. and sad....

2009年7月30日 前往蔚蓝海 ;岸Côte d'Azur
路线：Cavaillon(& #37202;店退房) -> Aix-en-Provence -> Fréjus (南法海边ऴ 7;镇)

上午 320;车到Aix-en-Provence, 7027;里也有市&# 22330;，有些旧& #20070;，旧图片 很有意思， ;可 ...

... not much in shopping to be done. It was also very expensive! Grant and I walked into the village for a drink one afternoon and had 3 beers each, not even big beers and we paid $48 Euro! $16 NZ dollars per beer each, you would think there must have been gold in them...needless to say we did not venture out again from the property for drinks and just took advantage to the free stuff at the house! Apart from one afternoon of sunshine ...

He S*id: Out of the Luberon in Provence, we m*de our w*y through M*rseille *nd into the Cote d'Azur. The tr*ins in the French Rivier* hug the co*st simil*r to US-1 *long the Big Sur region of C*liforni*, *nd to m*ke *nother comp*rison to the St*tes, out the right-h*nd window w*s Florid* with the endless w*ter, p*lm trees, *nd be*ch homes, *nd out the left-h*nd window w*s Ut*h with its irregul*r rock form*tions smoothed by the wind *nd its reddened pe*ks dotted with cypress trees. After ...

... Van Hussen, the terribly rich, and good looking American is staying. (I said that line so many times, the group asked me to stop!) We had a mid-day Nuetella Crepe (HEAVEN!!!)... and then opted to head back to the hotel and rest up a bit. I did laundry (Yeah... no stinky clothes for me) and we saw all of Kelly's pixs from around the world as she is currently on a World Cruise Line doing a show. Some amazing shots of here all over ...

... sitting in a café way more upscale than my conscience could afford, even if my wallet could, I ordered one of the French's outrageously priced coffees (around $4 Can. for a single, medium-sized cup) and wrote and people-watched. It was a cheerful, bustling place and appeared to be full of locals. Here I witnessed for the first time the European stereotype of two men greeting each other with the double-cheek kiss. In fact, while there were certainly women around, the bulk of people ...
