My apologies..

Sorry I haven't been updating my blog lately.. I've been caught up being a 'tourist' and haven't really had a chance to get on the computer.

Anyways, long story short... I arrived in Paris at my aunt's house, we visited the Champs Elysees, Eiffel Tower, Chapel Notre-Dame, and of couse the Lourve.. spent about 4nights there.. Loved Paris, but you better come when the dollar is stronger because FUCK its expensive! People usually gain weight when vacationing, I on the other hand, lost weight. Lets just say I spent 8euro about $12.00 for 2 small scoops of icecream. Dinner, forget about it, you're looking at atleast 15-20euro for some bullshit plate with french fries and a small piece of chicken. Ok, I'm playing devils advocate, obviously as a tourist you have to expect to get robbed, but we did find a couple "local's" spots where the price was reasonable. You also have the remember that most of the local Parisien's don't need to own a car, free health care, no car insurance.. so I coming from L.A where all of what Paris takes care of, I have to pay for. So it's all relative to an extent.

Dislikes: Drive like madmen, have really bad B.O.

After 4 nights in Paris I drove 8 nights south to Marseille. Just the other night I went to my cousin's beautiful wedding on a boat out in the mediterranean, had an amazing time, met a lot of cousin's I never knew I had and just mingled. Good times..

I'm currenting still in Marseille, tonight I'm gonna hit the town with my cousin, perhaps a "disco-tec", and tomorrow the beach!! Weather has been hot!! we're talking 90degree's

Bon Voyage!
