... are BMW, in Italy they are Alfas, and in France, it's the Renault that pulls you over.

But interestingly, in all the countries (including the little ones we went through) the taxis and the buses are all manufactured by Mercedes Benz. Well, I am not sure that this fact is something my boss & buddy Gary will be happy about..? or not..? I guess you could say that the Mercedes Benz is the "Work Horse ...

... with nearly 1700 miles on it, all senses were immediately over-indulged! The French are a unique bunch: they are beautiful, well done-up and looking good. The women wear stiletto heels to walk their pocket-size pups and the guys look chic and wear their sunglasses inside...let's just say they're also very, um,,,, Confident. Nevertheless, still fun to look at and we're up to a new challenge of learning another language.

To add to it all, there's a convention in ...

... 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 ...

... island which is quite wild, has numerous goats and beautiful little beaches. We also went to the town across on the mainland Le Brusc where the gg grandpops had built a church and 2 schools, so he did some good in the region, which made me even more happy! The island is now owned by Ricard, one of the Pastise producers, who's tried to convert this island into an ideal holiday island where you can do anything you like, so the town has a big harbor and is just one big high rise ...

... We have to shower before 7 so that Alex can shower before he goes to work.) Try to catch the bus before 8:30 so we can make it to school before classes start at 8:45. Classes end at 12 and we do whatever we so desire. Monday was our first excursion (we have them twice a week, this week three times), a walking tour of Nice to help familiarize us with the city a bit. It's a big city. I don't think I've seen a house yet, just ...

... morning to Lyon, then Paris and then catch another train to a small town called "Cagnes Sur Mer". Guy, the stepdad of Iza's friend Olly picked us up from the train station there, and took us ni the cat to their house which was at the very top of a massive hill.

And it was only their summer house! We took our ...
