HEY Brittany and i arrived in nice yesterday morning, and we were compleeeetely blown away. its soooo beautiful here, and i usually say that about all countries weve been to but nice is sooo pretty here. the only thing that were kind of bummed about are the rocky beaches. oh well. yesterday we met to french canadians and we hung out with them on the beach and watched the huuuuuge planes take off from the airport thats just off of the port. then we went to a cute little cafe where we had crepes and expresso. we plan to take a day trip to monacco soon, but the weather here kind of sucks, so brita nd i are going to la fayette and h and m. we got our laundry done today and it honestly felt ... read more

My plans to take the train to La Spezia and the Cinque Terre in Italy were foiled this morning by the ever so politely striking Italian Transportation workers. They decided that they would go on strike for the day. I think maybe the weather is nice over there and they wanted to have a family day or something. Maybe they are getting ready for tomorrow. What is tomorrow? Oh just another day but you never know. The point is...or really that's just it...there is no point...they're on strike and that means I spent the day sleeping. Apparently I was really tired because it's 3pm and aside from going to the train station and back I've done nothing but sleep. Oh, and I'm back at the St. Exupery Hostel in case you were wondering if I took ... read more

I finally got my act together and I believe I have arrived..my vacation has started. I observed Rule #1, #2, #3, #4 AND #5 today and by gawd I had a wonderful day. Okay except for the exchange at the supermarket but I'll get to that later. I always do things in cronological order, or at least I try to. It's part of the OCD behavior I own at times. I had planned to get up early this morning but due to messing around with computers, taking a shower, and I seriously have no idea what else, I didn't get to bed until almost 2. The evenings here fly by. It's already past 10:30 and I haven't even started to try to upload pictures and take a shower. Now for those of you who are thinking ... read more

Whew..it's great to be done with Paris. I guess it just wasn't my place. I don't know if it was the weather, the fact that everything was closed for two days, or I just simply don't like the place but whatever it was I couldn't wait to move on. I caught a train to Nice this morning with one of the kids at the hostel in Paris. He is on his way to Italy and stayed at the hostel I am at last week and is passing through Nice tonight. I had been really ready to get away from the other hostel kids but I'm glad he was around afterall. I NEVER would have found this hostel. It's way up on a hill away from the center of town and is an AMAZING place. I'll take ... read more
