... he changed his story to say that we drove into him - all the while we were being harrased by an old Cheese eating busy body elderly Monkey for parking where she didnt want us to.<br>After exchanging details Gary wasted no time in ensuring we were in front of the Pasta eating Pig dog and heading out of Chamonix for Switzerland.<br>Just over the Swiss border Rich and Kev made some adjustments to the pooper (prized the front wing off the wheel) to stop the noise and smell ...

... rolled up in Annecy, Kev still at the helm. Annecy was what more like <br>what we were expecting - there were people! Spot of lunch listening to music to <br>watch the girls go by was in order.<br>Annecy, a quaint little backwater, set within the basin of the mountains, with a <br>pictureques lake, lovely bars and jammed to the rafters with tip top totty - France was<br>open for business and business was good.<br>Gary had ...

... AN INVITATION?!?!?!?! Where was this hard working ****er the previous four hours, I mean for christ sake. But since since I now couldn't close my eyes without seeing a group of stumbling athletes chase around a ball, I think I had my fill. Even though we still had a few hours before check in time, I went over the hostel anyway, because I had no energy left to move.<br> <br> Now I have to spend a bit telling you about my hostel. Obviously biased, but this might be the ...

The following morning I took the same path to hitchhike out of Barcelona. I was waiting at the gas station for 20mins when another hitchhiker came. Her name was Nele and she was going to Belgium. It wasnt long before we got a ride to F&#305;gueras, and another shortly after with a French missionary who worked in the Central African Republic. We parted ways in Narbonne. I was waiting at another gas station for a while, another 2 hitchhikers came ...

... t eat as much as you can as fast as you can to be happy right away. You take your time, you sit down, you talk, you eat a bit, talk some more, order some wine, wave your hands around and yell a bunch of words that all end in vowels, and then order your real meal.<br><br>Save for Naples, what I would deem as the Compton of southern Italy, these cities are beautiful and the people are classy.<br><br>LIKES<br><br>-food<br><b r>-wine<br><br>-friendliness<br ...

... small DiPerDi [grocery store] which means they might only have the kids of mozzarella that R doesn't like to eat, so if he doesn't what else can I give them?-- Lauren, go to sleep! Go to sleep. You're going out tonight, and then waking up at 7am to take a train to Genova. Go to sleep-- I'd love to take them outside today, it's finally sunny. What can I give them for snack? Their parents won't do the big grocery shop until tomorrow ...

... had to turn back. Last few days we've been hanging around in the French Riviera; Menton, Nice and Monaco. We missed our brunch with Albert and forgot our pincode to our yacht, but otherwise we really enjoyed Monaco; except I was deafened by the passing McLaren road car. Monte Carlo was getting ready for the Formula 1 and it was a good opportunity for us to see the pit stop halls and walk around the track. We still have few cents left after the Casino visit ...

... castle. Ricca's ground mom was very nice to us. We had coffee and chocolate. We looked at pictures and had a small tour of the caste. It's quite impressive. The rooms are very well-decorated. About 6pm we went to San Secondo to shop. Ricca lost his cell phone and left us. Mom bought a bag in Benetton. They wanted to use the toilet ...

... Madre di Dio, on the <br>east bank of River Po. It's modeled after the Pantheon in Rome. <br>Built in the 19th century... so pretty much like the Rotunda in UVa. It <br>was such a hazy day that we couldn't take a good picture of it. We walked <br>toward the city center, passing many palazzos and strange decorations they put <br>for the interuniversity Olympics ...

... scoreless first period. Everyone was excited, because they were hoping for a non-embarrasing score, no blowouts. We were enjoying our seats for sure. After the first period, the cheerleaders all went out to the concessions area. Adam and I got in there with them and took a picture. WOOHOO! The second period was a different story. The Italians really played without a lot of discipline. They got penalty after penalty, and in hockey the other team gets a one ...
