NICE!

Whoa! Nice is a party!! We changed up the plans a little and went further on past Marseille to Nice, close to the Italian Riviera. We managed to come at the perfect time, cause its right in the middle of their 3 week long 'Carnival de Nice'. Let me tell ya, they do it up crazy here, night and day energy and lights, parades, music..right along the ocean. Its so great, its been rainy here, but still very warm and everyone carrys on like nothings coming down. haha..then we went down right out on the ocean, starr and I took off our shoes and stuff and went in, got a little more wet than we wanted, from a bigger wave, and everyone was laughing cause the water is super cold right now, and no one else was coming close to it. Steph was a little smarter maybe, she just took pics, but then we went out on this point of rocks that stuck way out, and Steph stood on the edge of it, and was lookin' out when this massive wave came out of no where and swallowed her up, hahaha, no, not quite, but she got pretty drenchd all over, and it was halarious. ok... ya im sure this doesnt sound near as funny on here as it does in my head right now, but we got video action of it, so you can all see that later! Anyway, so we're here for another couple days and then into Italy starting out in Pisa, and Im soooo excited for this...
Sry no pics, but we're lucky to even get a comp. here, or a hostel even for that matter! haha, Theres pretty much no hostels in France it seems. We were staying in a hotel the last couple days in Toulouse. I mean, its nice and all, but not so nice for the budget! haha. France is a little outrageous that way, I mean, I ran out of contact sol. the other day and went to pick some up, and well, its all $20-$30 CAD, for one little bottle!. its nuts, but its all good. We got a sweet place in Nice now, and we're having a ball. Hope you guys are all doin' well. I wish you could be here!!
xoxo

WOW Sheri-Lee! Nice sure sounds, umm .. nice! HAHA! I think your description is good enough that I certainly get a pretty clear picture of how funny it must've been the two of you by the ocean. The locals must've been in histerics -- crazy Canadians! That's nuts they have a 3 week long carnival thing there, unheard of. It takes a year to plan for an annual one day event here in Windsor. EMail me Steph's blog so I can hear what she has to say too -- that is, next time you have a connection! God Bless! ~Neil
