FRANCE | Monday, 16 April 2007 | Views [545] | Comments [7]

we are in nice, france right now. I think the last time i had a chance to write was our last night in rome. Since then, we have been to Florence, Pisa, Cinque Terre and now here! Well, Pisa was an accident. We got stuck there on our way out of Florence on our way to Cingue Terre becuase of a train strike! But the leaning tower of Pisa is definately leaning. Florence was amazing, just as great as Rome but a little smaller and quieter. We saw the David statue, pretty cool. Our hostel in Florence was very cool, there was murals all over the walls and the four of us had our own little room right next to the little garden they had in the back. Cinque Terre was unbelievable, we stayed right in a marina, heard the crashing waves each night while we slept. We did the cities 12k hike throughout all five of their towns, crazy and so hard but we laid on the beach of the last city and soaked up the rays so it was worth it. Pictures from there are unbelievable. And the hike took us about 4.5 hours up and down and up and down the mountains. I'm still sore! And now we are in nice, france! We walked to the beach this morning and laid out for a while, got some lunch and people watched....as least as we could, the beaches here are uh topless. ha. anyways, now we are here and tomorrow we leave for Barcelona, oh yeah. Its nice to have a relaxing beach day amidst all the traveling, we are loving every second of this good weather.

Bec, thanks for update...enjoy your stories; I assume you got a little sun on your back side...Its' been very cold HERE so that should add some extra value to know you are having great weather THERE. Enjoy Barcelona...much love, Dad.

Becca, I think an extra 30 days would be a saweeet idea. There are schools with grants that pay people like you to travl the world and write anbout your visits and the places. Think of it, travel, get paid, and have all your meals and experinces almost always comped becuase the companies and restaurants want good reviews. Then every 2 years you can hang with the kids and Lo and I will take over your job fro a month. You can blog on hanging with the kiddos and we can write reviews on cafes, attractions. The master plan emerges...
