... 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 ...

... to my 2nd class mostly thanks to M. le proviseur. and its a lycee professionel class. these are the classes where they place kids who are not going to college, those destined to be in the work force....

so i try to play 2 truths and a lie, which is a bit too complicated for them, and instead just do introductions. they weren't super talkative so i asked them what their favorite things to do are.....

Just paid a fleeting visit to St Tropez on the way to Avignon (so we thought)... had to be done really.. a quick wander around and a very quick coffee. It was much smaller than I thought. Lots of nice boats but loads of tourists too.... that was about it!

... handstands and all the rest.... spend hours cleaning the sand out of our bags and clothes! The next day was a stunning 26 degree day.. so so so nice. We never thought we would be at the beach again. Were tempted to stay but found out the next 2 days were not going to be great weather. Sadly we headed off at 4pm to head to Avignon.. Saying goodbye to the med forever was very hard.. and sad....

We also took the short drive to Port Grimaud, to visit this small but new harbour town built in what was once marshland, but is now row after row of condos and homes built in a web of jetties to allow the homes to anchor their boats at their doorsteps. Of course, we would have rather spend our time on the beach, but with bad weather, Grimaud was a nice alternative.

The Yacht arrived in the Vieux Port around 8:00 AM on Tuesday. The seas were a little rough on the way in and there was a lot of wind, but overall the passage was uneventful. We spent the night in Marseille and in the morning we drove to meet the yacht in St. Tropez and arrive close to 11 AM. We just pulled up to the yacht and hardly even boarded until ...

... si un catel care iesise dintr-o curte sa ne spuna cat de bucuros e sa ne vada pe-acolo pe la el. Ii facem si lui o poza si plecam, nu inainte de a ne da binete cu niste femei de serviciu care maturau strada. As vrea sa aflu si eu cum au ajuns in varf, acolo, sau ce faceau cu gunoiul. La momentul ala isi imparteau tigari si se odihneau pe trotuar langa ultimul morman din recolta, asa ca le-am respectat pauza si-am plecat fara raspuns. Coboram in oras, cautam iesirea...

Hi all! Last days in Barcelona were GREAT... saw lots and lots of cool stuff such as parc Guell and the Segrada familia (look them up... very very cool). Went to a party with these cool Germans we met who were there studying spanish... had a blast! YEsterday was a day of train travel from Barcelona ...

Today I went to Southern France for the first time and got my first glimpse of the Mediterranean! Barbara came with me to the train station and there were so many flights of stairs!! Thankfully I had packed well and only had a smallish suitcase to lug up and down the stairs. It was good exercise, but a 60 yr old lady beat me up the last flight. Just as I was about to go and was waving good-bye ...
