... led to like a small wine cellar. We didnt leave there until about 4 like when we left Dijon last time.
But we had some fun in the car on the way back. This time everyone travelled back in the car; Oliver, Natacha, Julliete and me =) We blasted some music ( english songs ^^) and we played a car game but i had to think of french words and they had to think of english ones haha.
Im getting use to eating here and lately my appitite ...

... as well about my situation in specific is that I really don't have a care in the world. Time is meaningless, as every minute, every second, is just ephemeral. What matters is what those seconds and minutes amount to. A whole experience. Worrying about tomorrow is useless. When traveling, I had no idea where I would be in 3 days. 2 days was the maximum I would allow myself to look into the future. As a result, time ...

... beach.

The crew pulled up anchor and left for Marseille around 1 PM just before we sat down for lunch. The captain wanted to get to Marseille before the approaching storm hit us and before the wind whipped up too many waves. No one was allowed to go on deck with the weather the way it was, except for the crew who were required to wear a life jacket, and a Man Over Board sensor and beacon. There are two sets of ...

... two weeks (I was planning on staying for 12 days). So instead I've mapped myself out a really nice road trip throughout Spain, where I will stop in Valencia, Granada, Malaga, Gibraltar, Sevilla, Cordoba, Madrid, and Pamplona. This should take me about the same time, so I'd have approximatelty 2 1/2 weeks. Hopefully my next post will be from a strange and foreign Spanish city.

... to allow rain in Italy to clear. Want to re-visit Lake Garda, see if we can't get the spot right next to the lake we last had some 15 years ago, say. Don't know if it's a good idea to go back to the site of happy memories: can you improve on them in any way, or only spoil their rosy glow?
All well with rig, thankfully - you hardly know it's there!

... it feels like the beginning of every vacation but I know that it's not. I have to take it one day at a time and see what happens. I already have a lot of fun plans ahead of me, though. I will be eating dinner at my sister's house tonight, where my little nephews, Leo and Valentin, are very eager to see me. I found notes on my pillows when I got to my Dad's from them, saying that ...

... hill full of massive bugs and locusts. It was this night I had my first freak out. We were drinking wine whilst engaging in philisophical convosation when I heard a noise which sounded exactly like Hyienas. When I turned to see six massive badgers I ran and screamed like a small girl to my tent. The most embarassing part is that I hadn't registered them as badgers and I was screaming "Hyienas!!"

Tout le monde sait qu'un voyage de 2 mois ne s'improvise pas et nécessite quelque peu d'organisation. Tout le monde? C'est ce que je me disais jusqu'ŕ ce qu'on m'appelle le vendredi 17 juillet alors que j'étais encore en vacances pour me demander si j'étais intéressé par une prestation en Hollande.
"Allo Pysnoo. Serais-tu intéressé pour partir en Hollande?
Euh??? Ais-je le choix?
Bah en fait, pas vraiment!

... Grenoble but the girls were getting tired of driving and Micki was a bit fried from the day so we stopped about 20 km before Grenoble. At first we stopped at another nondescript roadside two star hotel. But I was not happy with this hotel so we pressed onward off the main autostrade along a back road to Grenoble. After a couple of dead ends trying to find a place to stay, we happened upon a small "gite" in the town of Le Touvet called "La Ferme de Jeanne" after the owner's ...

... and the view over the Orb. We were not impressed. Most of the town shops were closed (it was that time of the day) and it was grubby. Waste everywhere, badly maintained homes and rusty cars. Many dark faces in the dark streets explained some of the mess. There was a large Muslim population in Beziers into which we had wandered. The Cathedral was terrific inside...as always. [Imagine the wonderful monuments and galleries there might have been if those ...
