Hotel Le Calidianus Ste-Maxime

... seen and spoken to, to date.
Set off mid morning to drive through Gorges du Verdon, again another stunning drive. This time though the weather was kind to us and we were able to get out for a hike after lunch. It seemed like a popular drive as we encountered several other tourists, one couple were eating lunch at the same spot we were. They packed up their picnic, took a swig out of ...

... they were forced to part, and i kid you not they kissed on the lips. thats right THE LIPS. apparently they start early here in france....


so on we went and arrived in tours. Albeit after a long sleepless night on the train and a brief moment in paris that included a walk to the seine.
On our way into the hostel we found an old thing, and a big church, followed by an even bigger church, followed by the wrong part of old town, then a ...

... Alfa appear to be wagons bringing home the wine and sausage. In France, Peugeot, Citroen and mostly Renault are the ones delivering the bread.

Another interesting car trend was present throughout the journey. That would be the brand of choice for police cars, taxis and buses. Predictably, the police cars are manufactured by the companies that reside in that particular country. So, in Germany police ...

We've entered France, our final stop before heading home. After over two weeks in Italy, as we were just getting comfortable with the language, the customs, the rules of the road and cruising speeds... what a shock it was to "Cross the border". Suddenly, all that was familiar was gone, a foreign language, road signs we were unable to decipher and we're exhausted from the road.

We're not ashamed to admit that after three + weeks of living out of suitcases (fortunately ...

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

btws when asked my age i replied, a true lady never reveals her age. my 2 faves in the class laughed at that one. at least someone got my jokes!

another day of very early rising to greet the bus, and go to a class that i may or may not actually have.(thanks eve)

looks like i've got my work cut out for me.....

... 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 ...

... very good....it wasn't my most favorite 8 hours ever.... and I didn't sleep very much, I think I was just so uncomfortable with the situation that I couldn't get comfortable enough to sleep. I was pretty exhausted when I got London. I slept a little bit at the airport because my plane was late, and I slept a little on the plane to Nice. When I got here Sunday, I was so exhausted that I really just wanted to see someone I knew and ...

... few of us stayed on in the Casino. Shouldnt have...we were suppose to take the train back, but the schedule was screwed up, so instead of getting the last train, it decided not to come at all. Diana, Boris and myself had a nice 150 Euro cab ride back to the camp. ****!!! I was ******. The cabbie said that trains in Paris can be a little (haha) unreliable. Oh Vell, made it back safe and sound, minis 200 Euro.

On Friday afternoon after everyone (Jacques, Dustin, and Jane) had finished work we all piled in to Hadley's and randomly drove down through Genoble to the home of some of the rich and famous. Nice was our destination and we were planning to arrive there by 7 o'clock that night, but as usual everything went horribly wrong. Arriving at midnight was not the plan, although it all seemed to run quite smoothly. We all dropped out bags at the this crummy little hotel and ...
