Adventures on Vacation

First, to Burning Man. A week or so later, off to Europe to see France, Germany, Austria. I've been wanting to go to France for 15 years, I'm finally making it happen. I'm giving up waiting for ideal circumstances.

Leaving Provence

I had to get online to get an address (thanks to Evite!), so I figured I'd do a quick check-in.

I heard Imogen Heap on the stereo here at the hotel in Provence :-) Alison, it's like you're here with me!

I'm getting a little tired of some of the ladies who talk to much (2 of them). The big scuttlebutt is that one lady who uses a walker refuses to admit that she needs help. Folks on these tours are supposed to be independent, and she chewed out the tour guide about something the other day. She's unclear on the concept, I think. No one likes to be dependent on others, I'm sure, but there's a time and place for everything.

I'm gravitating towards the New Yorkers on the trip, they're hilarious and witty and fun to talk to. There's a lady Nancy from Kentucky, she's 80 something and uses a cane, but she is a hoot. She laughs at herself and her age all the time, it's so fun to be around.

I love Provence, it's great here. We go to Monte Carlo this evening, staying in Nice for two nights, then it's Germany. I'm looking a bit forward to being on my own.

I didn't realize how boring my life is back home - it's been just over a week, and it feels like forever that I've been gone.

My one connection, my life supply, is the computer. I sent some postcards today, I bought them in Paris. I'll probably make it home before they do, but who knows.

I really am interested to know what the french do to stay so beautiful and thin, especially with this cuisine. i haven't seen any acne on the teens. I haven't seen a lot of old folks here either, not sure where they're hidden away.

my time's running out for my 15 mins on the computer. gotta run.

A bientot,

K
