... cutest children ever, and yes even i thought they were cute. As you all well know i despise babies so i hope you understand just how cute these 2 baby people were.

our story starts with a small black child shouting " blah blah blah blah black is blue- tiful". yes "blue" tifal. apparently his one phrase of english impressed small blonde child person enough to go over and befriend the bean. they even shared blocks. but alas when the train ...

But first, a little commentary on our observations. As I mentioned from Germany, the European people love station wagons. We have all seen them at times in the states but they are everywhere in Europe. We saw the German versions right off, but through the rest of the countries we visited it is also clear that the wagon is the car of choice. All sizes, all makes. In Italy, Fiat, Lancia, and ...

... invest in bringing some of it back to the US.

Cannes and the French Riviera is really a spectacular place. Again, fancy yachts dock here and along the coast. We took a drive down to St. Tropez to experience the hype: but instead, found delight in an old medieval town called Grimaud, just a few miles inland from the coast. Grimaud had an old castle on the top over looking the now flashy Saint Tropez and Sea below. The old town is so beautiful and quaint, we could ...

... committed by kids. except using much smaller words. maybe at least they'll think i'm older than i look now?

... Sailboats were docked at the marina (knez, it made me think of you). Diane ordered mussles and Jon and I had our first mussels ever. They were delicious. Thank you Diane for helping me discover my love for sea food. St-Tropez was further than we thought, but thank god we ...

The seaside resort town Saint Tropez is still very popular with the tourists, although the jetset and the in-crowd have long since left it behind. Set on the lovely blue water of the Bay of Saint-Tropez, this modern version of a medieval town is most popular for the line of yachts along the quai, and the facing line of terrace cafés, divided by a parade of strolling tourists and slow cruising expensive cars (photo-7 ...

... rocks at first, which get smaller until they are the size of pebbles where the beach meets the surf. Looking to the left there was a huge hill/small mountain that sat right behind the beach. Most of the hill is a park with the ruins of a castle (Parc de la Colline du Chateau) and on top is a large waterfall that looks out of place, but still very interesting. We walked towards the park were the beach became a rocky outcrop. Following the ...

... with my french and they bought me dessert and a limoncello. Not a bad deal for Melanie... Next day I woke up around 9 to find blue sky and sun. Success! At least my trip to Nice was not a total waste of time... I went down to the beach to take some pictures and get ready for beach day. I was out for about 5 hours and despite the sun tan lotion that I put on EVERY 25 MINUTES, I still got burned. One of the girls from my room ...

... are quite cool. In Kate and mine opinions anyway. We had packed a picnic lunch and lay on the beach for about 4hours. So relaxing and a nice change from museums and churches. The plan that night was to buy an expensive bottle of Champagne and drink it under the full moon down on the beach. We didn't get out of the crazy hostel til about midnight but we made it. And how beautiful it was just left me speechless. We lay on the beach staring up at the moon, classily ...
