Hotel Dangleterre Béziers

... it all the way through and it tasted good =)
The south was very quite while we were there because everyone moves up north during the winter, and then in summer the place is packed and apparently it is very difficult to go places with the amount of people that are there.
Later that afternoon i took a walk with Oliver and Natacha through some of the countryside of La Tamarissere ( where we where staying). I was exhausted by the end ...

... they themselves are traveling. If you're boring, you're most likely do not want to travel. Since everyone is in the same boat, we have the same perspectives and values. You know automatically everyone likes to travel, has great stories, and has overall a really fun personality. I can say hands down that out of the hundreds of people that I have met, maybe only 2 were boring. So what, you just move on and find more ...

... beach.

The crew pulled up anchor and left for Marseille around 1 PM just before we sat down for lunch. The captain wanted to get to Marseille before the approaching storm hit us and before the wind whipped up too many waves. No one was allowed to go on deck with the weather the way it was, except for the crew who were required to wear a life jacket, and a Man Over Board sensor and beacon. There are two sets of ...

So I'm going to nix Portugal from my plans. I started getting a bad feeling when I called them the other day in order to confirm my arrival and they had no idea who I was. Maybe I spoke too fast, but they seemed really confused by my arrival. I sent an email to the guy and he seemed really mad that my dates kept changing and he told me it wasn't worth their time if I came less ...

... to allow rain in Italy to clear. Want to re-visit Lake Garda, see if we can't get the spot right next to the lake we last had some 15 years ago, say. Don't know if it's a good idea to go back to the site of happy memories: can you improve on them in any way, or only spoil their rosy glow?
All well with rig, thankfully - you hardly know it's there!

... of ravioli, Pringles, M&M's, chocolate covered pretzels, and bread (It was BYOC, Bring Your Own Candy)…Yum. So here I am now, on my first of many many days away from home. I feel as
this is the hardest part, adjusting to the idea that I will be away from home, those I love, for a very long time. Usually, when I come to my Dad's house, it's usually for 3-4 weeks. Now ...

... bah d'accord. Et quand dois-je y être?
Bah dans 4 jours!
Ahhhhh, me dis-je intérieurement, mais non!!! Ok, donc on voit tout ça lundi.
A bientôt!"

Bon, super, je viens d'apprendre que je pars mardi en Hollande pour 4 mois et je n'ai qu'une journée pour tout organiser.

Super, bon bah sur ce, on va aller à la plage, peut-être est-ce une mauvaise blague et que il n'y aura plus rien ce soir ;)

... of Cathar heretics being burned at the stake outside the cathedral, but there was no mention of any questionable past inside. We took a leisurely lunch in the main square and then explored the town. For those shopaholics amongst you, Galleries Lafayette is just a pale shadow of its big sister in Paris. The car park was a bit of a joke. Ralph had wanted to use a car park rather than leave the Bongo on the street ...

... prowess at learning Italian, most menus were in German! Many people staying spoke only German. The hotel turned out to be fabulous and we stayed for two nights. We ate dinner at the hotel both nights and the food was excellent! The town of Caslano is small, with a quaint older down town area on Lake Lugano. The second day we pretty much just hung out around the hotel and the girls got a haircut and style at a local salon. While Makenna had her hair high-lighted (looks great, just a ...
