Nice
When you're alone, you have to take pictures of yourself....

This is the hard life alright.

NICE!!!!

I cannot describe how beautiful it is here, or how lucky I am to be spending my summer on the beach in the south of France. I arrived yesterday morning at about 9am. I couldn't check into my hotel so I walked down to the beach (about 15 blocks). The water is blue and clear, the sun is shining and cute boys are EVERYWHERE. Wow, I have it rough. ;)

I spent all day at the beach yesterday and today and am planning to make day trips tomorrow and the next few days to close cities, Cannes, Monaco etc... I'm getting really tan, but of course by the time I return home, my tan will be gone...maybe I should just stay here. When on the beach, "vendors" walk around with big coolers offering drinks and snacks. They just shout out in a bunch of different languages what they have to offer. It's actually pretty cool, although I have yet to buy anything from them. One guy was walking around with a tray of pre-cut watermelon, is that safe???

I switched from a one-piece to a bikini today, who knows maybe tomorrow I'll go topless and fit in like a local?! Or maybe not.... we'll see. Shelly says I have to, just to say I have. I almost did today, but then a whole family sat right next to me and I chickened out. I kept thinking of the little kids as Rourke and Vaugn-they would die if I went topless. But while in France, you have to be like the French. Tomorrow, definitely tomorrow (this is my go topless pep-talk).

Well I'll be sure to write more from wherever I am tomorrow. Thank you SOOOO much Dad and Shelly and Grandma and Grandpa for making this happen. I LOVE it here and am having the time of my life.
