The French Riveria

So we have made our way out of Spain and have spent the last two days in Antibes, near Nice on the southern coast of France. It is official - I have fallen completely head over heels for France. Never thought I would say this as I have been bred with the traditional Southern Alberta distates for all things French. France is paradise.

We spent the day on the beach, followed by a trip to Monacco. I lost 5 euro in the Grand Casino. not nearly as others won (or lost). the F1 had just finished, so we got to walk around the track as well.

I donàt know if i have the words to adequately describe the French Riveria. basically take the hardest place to build houses, and build mansions. the houses know no vertical boundaries, and most are stunningly holding onto the cliff with who knows what strength.

For those of you who think i am a rock, i am getting homesick. Working through the feelings slowly, but i would give anything right now to have TJ by my side, seeing the world with me. I do not prescribe to the theory, if you canàt be with the one you love, love the one you are with.

i hope all is well in Canada. if you are bored, feel free to comment here. i havent been getting much by way of feedback (donàt worry, the real journal will be done when i return and can actually post pictures). but I hope that any posts will help me with this feeling that I am not in Kansas anymore.

That having been said, tomorrow Iàm going to be on a boat, and it will really be a big blue watery road. Life is grand.
