Residence Lagrange Classic Le Lagon Bleu Fréjus

... Not only have the donations received already far exceeded my expectations, but the kind words and general interest and support that I have received have been amazing. So thank you all. It is all very much appreciated and I can't believe that between us we really will change these little lives. It is my motto here in Antibes, but this is the ultimate "think globally; act locally ...

Gorgeous morning and a stunning place for breakfast awaited us just outside Scooby overlooking the lake. I went for a run but Kim was feeling a little under the weather so she stayed and made me breakfast - yay! We spotted two girls about our age and attempted to engage in some conversation but their English was limited and French is rubbish. Shame as its manily been the grey hair brigade we ...

... then finally the hostel. yayyyy.


we ended up meeting 2 australian girls, and one girl, meng basically became our travel buddy for the trip. we spent our 2 days in tours mostly chilling at cafes drinking amazing cafe cremes, and looking at the ridiculously cute timbered houses of place plumerau. we also read trashy girl magazines in french and meng cooked us an amazing dinner. all in all tours was pretty fab.

So we booked a ...

... 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 ...

... 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 ...

... the dryer landscape of the Cote d' Azure. So we travelled a couple of hours to Arles to explore the town Van Gogh made famous. What a fabulous place! Although there were the typical tour buses in the car park, the town appeared quaint and almost untouched by the commercialism it generated. We found the famous café that Van Gogh painted in place du Forum, and after Pete spotted Bouillabaisse, (a type of fish stew local to the Provence and Marseille area) on the menu ...

... Eve and Christmas day masses were going to be held. First, I walked around and looked inside the church...it was very pretty inside and was definately a different looking church in regards to its layout and decor as compared to other cathedrals that I had seen (I guess you could call this one a cathedral). After looking around I started to look for a mass schedule. I finally found one posted on one of the doors, and according to it there ...

... my bed (whichever one it was cause you don't know) was taken. The place was full and everyone was asleep. Somebody in that room had taken a spot that was mine, but which one? I slept on the ground outside for the next three nights. BUT, to make a pointless story shorter, now that we have a car, why not try this again and have a picnic to boot! What a beautiful afternoon staring at the surf. Bottle of wine. Bread. Cheese. Meat. Enough said.

So all of these lonely souls have decided to get together and have a Christmas potluck dinner to feel a little less lonely together. I'm glad that my first Christmas away from home isn't just going to be me Elliott and Slava staring at each other and drinking copious amounts of wine simply out of boredom. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas, and to everyone in my family I'll miss you tons tonight and tomorrow morning!
