Vacation

hey,

Holly crap i thought id never get on the computer again, Nathan has been on since before i woke up and it is now after midnight, what the heck could you possibly have to do that takes the whole day. Anyways, about the vacation. As i said in my last entry we were going to leave at 1 but it probably would be later. I guessed 2 and Nathan said 5, so he went to bed and i stayed awake thinking we were leaving at 1...We left at 4:30. Their car is quite uncomfortable so it was hard to sleep and once we got to the south we didnt even drop the stuff off before exploring. I was not a happy camper because my hair was all messed up and i was pretty tired and to top it all off i left my camera and wallet in my bag which was at the bottom of the mountain better known as the trunk. So no pictures for me on the first day, which was actually sunny and quite warm, little did i know that this would be the only day like this. So we explored Nice the first day, it was a really cool city and i really enjoyed it. Met Nathans aunt from Italy, nice lady. The place we stayed was in the middle of nowhere but it was alright. Went to a little village called Eze the next day and toured around a perfume factory, it was pretty neat. That night we went backto Nice because it was the last day of the winter carnival and they had fireworks and they burned the king of carnival and everyone had that silly string crap that sticks to you. The next day was Monaco, its like an independant city pretty much between France and Italy. We went to this cool aquarium there and there was a museum and stuff too but the museum was lame. The next day was actually not too bad weather wise, it didnt rain but it wasnt the hottest day either. I thougt we were going to Cannes but we just drove right through it and went to this little village called Biot. There was a glass making factory and museum there, it was cool to watch the guys make the lass but other than that, that was a dissapointing day. I really wanted to see Cannes but i guess that will have to be anther time. The next day it poured rain, and i mean poured, it rained all day and night it was crazy. We still went out to Saint Tropez and Hélène, the brilliant person she is decides that today when its pourin rain out w are going to walk around town instead of yesterday when it was nice. Yeah, good idea...Not. So what i was getting at was i was soaked and that was it for the day. The last day we went to Marsaille, and other than the delishious lunch, i was not impressed. It was unbelievably windy so you could barely walk and the city itself was dirty and stinky. In a way it reminded me of Asia. The next day, on the way home someone decided to take the scenic route to see some friends that wernt even home. Well duh they arnt home, its like the midle of the day on Friday, people have jobs. so instead of the usual 6 hours, it took us 9 and a half to get home.


In other news, towards the end of the trip i started getting in some arguments with Nathans mom, i know im right in the arguments but she just doesnt see the realistic side of the coin. She tried to tell me that it was dangerous to other guests if i used a cover on the bed that was already provided. Haha, thats the first tie ive ever heard someone say that. Enough with that now, I watched TV for the first time in like 3 weeks. Wasnt very good TV though, just a bunch of stupid game shows that are just terrible in comparison to the ones we watch. There was some sports, if youd call it that. Handball, oh yes. Very intense sport, theres even a champions league of handball, and biathalon. Like come on, i want to watch some real sports. Back to school on monday, imlooking forward to it because the weeks go by faster when we are at school. As for the french, im picking up a lot of it, I cant speak yet, but i can understand a lot more. Ill keep woring on it.

Bye for now.
