... made some friends had we the time and resources to put together costumes... I decided we were dressed up as Canadians, which I thought would have worked great until Tom pointed out that Canadians would probably speak more French. But we weren't really left out, there were only a handful of people dressed up. Overall; here is the tally of costumes in Aix on halloween: 2 girls in witch hats (with one stocking each), 5 ...

... 8230;<br><br>First of all, we had a deadline. Something neither of us are accustomed to dealing with right now. Ferry departs Marseille at 7pm. Brian was concerned about covering the 100 km distance and finding the port in time. So, up extra early and on the road withour even eating breakfast! After all of the worry and fussing, and snaps of the whip to go &#8216;faster&#8217;, we arrived at the port at ...

... Enjoyed the film (but enjoyed the post-cinema demi-fraise - beer with strawberry syrup - more) and was proud at how well I managed to follow the French, without much concentration! A sign of improvement I hope!<br><br>This weekend in particular has been fantastique! As everyone else's parents have come to visit, Amy and I spent our Saturday shopping, eating and generally having a good time without alcohol. As usual, I got very excited about a sweet shop and between us we ...

... chair who fell on the cobblestone streets of Capri and fractured her tibia. Like i have said before, some of these people are trying to do things they shouldn't be doing. The movie tonight on MUTS is Ghosts of Girlfriends Past with Matthew McConaughey...don't know if i can convince Bob to go but i think it sounds funny. Tomorrow the weather sounds great for Barcelona so hopefully we will have something more interesting to report. Ciao for now:)

... yesterday, Saturday, and it is cooler but still nice. The trip here was spectacular with many olive groves and big mountains. Today we went on a tour to Les Beax - another medieval town with a castle - poor Graham and on his birthday too. Then we went winetasting and to the premier olive oil producers in France. The Mistrql was blowing on the tour and it was very cold but warmer back here in the camp. Tomorrow we explore Aix on foot then we go to Avignon.

... s how. From there I simply validate my account and I&#8217;m part of a network which allows me free access from many different parts of France. But I don&#8217;t understand; I still need a router and signal coming from this hotel. Why do I even need this network? And where&#8217;s my little blue ball down there? I ask too many questions. Sometimes it&#8217;s better just to take what&#8217;s given and be grateful. That ...

... another. We were laughing about how much effort it was taking him to get almost nowhere when the guy in front of us slammed on his breaks. The guy in back of us, rather than slamming on his brakes as well, seized this as an opportunity to pass four cars at once! Absolute lunacy, I tell you! We thought we had front row seats to a high-speed head-on colision for sure. The best part is that he saved less than 30 seconds with that maneuver. He turned off the main road a ...

... where Africa meets Europe, but indeed where Saharan Africa meets sub-Saharan Africa. If the Arab is the main foreign influence, still you&#8217;re as likely to encounter a black African in traditional dress here as you are in many parts of Africa, and that makes it pretty special, many varied peoples bound by the French language, and others by Islamic culture. All I need is some WiFi and you can count me in, for a week at least. (to be continued...)<br>

... grise et du fameux carnet de passage en douane, le retour à Auriol est indiqué pour 21:00 par le fidèle GPS, qui en a vu d'autres! Le lendemain matin sera consacré au déballage de Big Toy et à la découverte par Maxence des trésors cachés dedans... Celà fera alors l'objet d'une vente à l'africaine, dont les bénéfices resteront dans la poche de Big Toy pour le soigner un petit peu. Dans les trésors, il y avait bien sûr une trousse de magie.....

Tuesday, September 26, 2006 Here I sit on the train, hopefully the correct one, waiting to leave for Aix. It's the small victories in life that matter I suppose- not only did I make it to the right train station, but I got my ticket (after being in the wrong line), bound my train, and also ordered a croissant and café au lait without being corrected! I now wait for the conductor to be sure I am in the right seat. Trains here have 'composition' and you must look up which car ...
