Driving to Paradise...1 country at a time

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I have been having to much fun. So we left France Friday morning(The 12th of March) very early(around 5:00) We drove for about an hour and a half and stopped at a bakery to get some breaky. We had our baguettes and croissants and were on our way. It was nice having my laptop because I had Downloaded movies and could watch them without needing the Internet. So Through out the trip I watched the Hurt Locker(Great Movie) and the first season of Even Stevens(a show I watched when I was younger. If your wondering it is still funny)We went up and down many mountains through out the day and at around 10:00 am we stopped again. This time in Albertville(The host of the 1992 Winter Olympics) We walked around downtown but there was much so we left. We did drive through the Olympic Village. That was really cool. We kept driving until we got to a place Called Chamonix. It was a a really ski city nestled between 2 big mountains. This is where we had lunch. My dad got a sandwich, my mom got a sandwich, my sister had some ravioli from a fast food ravioli place and I had a chicken wrap from McDonald's...also we had to pick up some more Chinese sauce. Then we kept going crossing into Switzerland. We drove for a while and ended up in the German speaking side of Switzerland. From there on it has been all German. We kept going and I was able to get some beautiful pictures of the mountains. It was very cool. We kept going and drove for quiet awhile till we got to where we were going to stay for the night:Interlanken. It was a very beautiful town. As usuall we walked around got supper. We kept walking and went by a Hooters(I was bummed that we couldn't go) We then walked around in the park in front of the Casino then walked back to the hotel. We got up early again and kept going. We didn't do much stopping this time. We went through Liechtenstein and then into Austria. Once in Austria we stopped at a grocery store for breakfast. I was lucky to find some Cinnamon Toast crunch(My favorite cereal) but when I tried it it turns out they meant the other cinnamon. I swear the Boxes looked the same as in Canada but they were not the same. Yucky yuk. We did find a baguette so I did get breakfast. We also were bummed to find out they had no Orangina. So we got Fanta (an Orange pop kind of drink) It isn't as good as Orangina but it is still all right. We kept driving and ended up in Germany(4 countries in 1 day...we can hardly do 4 provinces in one day in Canada) While in Germany we stopped in Innsbruck for lunch. They had a burger king so we decided to just a quicky lunch. I had there chicken burger which is bread with corn flakes. It was still good. After laughing at all the ausfahrt's and einfahrt's we came across the best one at a gas station. The gas pump handle said Gute Fahrt or Good Fart. I laughed hard at that one. We crossed back in to Austria after that and were able to get up the big mountain to our lodge/ski hill before sun down. The Bad news was that it hadn't completely melted up where we had to get down to our lodge but my mom tried anyways to get the car down. It didn't work so well and she ended up not being able to pull into the drive way and kept sliding down the hill. She tried 3 times to get the car up unsuccessfully before she put the emergency break on 3/4 up the hill and decided to unload there. We got the first 2 suit case out and I was bringing them up the hill when the car started to slide. My dad was kind of behind it and he tried to stop in form going(I guess it is human instinct)it just slid down the hill and into a snow bank. Everyone was fine. But we still had to lug the suit cases up the hill.p

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

So a couple days ago me and my mom decided to go shopping. We needed a few things for supper and a deck of cards(it was family card night we ruined our other deck of cards). So we bought our stuff and decided it would be fun to go for a walk. So we drove over to st. Cecil de Vignes, parked the car and started walking around. We went into there little town and looked around. There wasn't much there to see and my mom had to pee, so we left. The next day we planned to go back to Grignan for the circus and then over to Brantes were there is a beautiful view of the mountain. But we woke up and blizzarding not snowing it was a blizzard. So we didn't do anything. Later that night though me and my mom went out and made a snowman and then for a walk and took pictures. Today was suppose to be another nothing because of the snow but in the afternoon we realized they had actually plowed the big roads so we decided to go out to get some food (just a couple things again). Before we left though we tallied up our Oscar picks to see who won. And for the second time in a row I was victorious winning 8 euros(actually 6 because we all put in 2). We then left for food. We got to the little town that we do our shopping(Toulette) and realized it was all closed because everything closes between 12:00 and 3:00 for lunch. So we drove the extra 20 minutes to Orange to walk around(It was on our go to list anyways). On the way there we saw an upside down car on the side of the road. Looked like had had been sitting there awhile. We think that the tow trucks there are just really slow. We got to Orange and walked around because they were closed too. We got back in our car and went to find an open grocery store.Everything was open now so the grocery store in Orange was open too. There we got a roasted chicken for supper and I found a drink called Gini. Since I am on a hunt for cool soft drink(That arn't in Canada) I decided to buy it. It was god awful. It was so bad, it was bitter and just disgusting. If you ever come across it, don't buy it. Then we it was off to Vaison-la-Romain because we were running short of Skippy peanut butter and they were the only place that has it. After that we headed home. We ate are roasted chicken (I dipped mine in my Chinese sauce) and now I am sitting here typing this(and being bored...just a little) Thank You for Readings

llama, llama

So yesterday we didn’t do anything, it was a nothing day. Today though was really fun. I woke up and watched a bit of the show I just downloaded (The Big Bang Theory) Than at 1:00 p.m. we decided to go to Grignan. It is a little city inside a big wall. When we came into their little outside village thingy, you could see there was a circus setting up. So we drove a little further and there was this huge horse and a llama just standing on the grass eating. If you don’t know yet, Chelsea has a big obsession with llamas. Actually all her friends just love llamas, so Chelsea was very eager to get a picture with it to send to her friends. So we got out and got some pictures but never really got to close to the llama. We drove up to the wall and parked. We got out and walked inside the wall. It was a very windy day which made it hard to walk (you couldn’t imagine how windy it was). So we went up to their castle and found a vending machine and got a pop (Much less expensive then Monaco) and kept going. My mom and sister went to the bathroom there and me and my dad decided to walk around the castle and back up to the bathroom. When we got back my mom and sister were gone. So me and my dad split up and walked around the castle and found them. We walked back to the car and stopped again with the llama as I wanted to try and pat it. I was getting closer and closer and all of a sudden it charged and tackled me to the ground and spit in my face... Just Kidding. I had you going though...hahaha. I went up and he gave me a death stare so I ran away. I went back though with Chelsea this time and we slowly got closer and closer and then Chelsea touched him and ran. Then it was my turn I went up and touched and he swung its long neck around and I pealed. It was so fun.
Then we went grocery shopping. We shopped around a bit got our stuff (I also got a new pop called Organina Rasta...for Rastafarian. Its a tropical fizzy drink) and checked out. I am actually use to the food here now. I know what things are and I know what taste good and stuff. When we were leaving I decided to run over to McDonalds and get some Sweet and Sour sauce (Called Chinese sauce here...their a tincy bit racist...kidding) I got 10 of them for when my dad makes chicken. I put it in a fajita with McCain fries and top it off with the Chinese Sauce. It is delicious. Now I am sitting here typing this and about to eat supper. After that we are having Survivor night, which will be every Friday because I can only download them the day after they are on TV. I am having tons of fun here. Thanks for reading. Bye bye.

Gotta love Monaco...and Ferraris

So a couple days ago we decided we would go see the gorges. So we first went to a place called Carpentras and it turns out it was their market day so we walked around a bit not doing much. It was a beautiful day and I was wearing a t-shirt and I was so hot. Then we decided to leave the market but before getting to our car we stopped at a little sandwich place for lunch. This place was a high school hangout so there was a lot of PDA (public displays of affection). I was happy to find a different kind of pop here (I like to try a lot of different pops) It was called Coke Cherry. So I had that and it was pretty much just regular coke with a cherry after taste but still good.

We then walked back to our car. We got in the car and started driving. We got closer and closer to the mountain until we were driving right on the side of it. We were very high up and it was a small little road that was suppose to be for 2 cars. The worst part about it though was it had hardly any guard rails. Driving I was completely freaked every time the car turn I was uneasy. We stopped at a couple places along the road and I was fine then. Being out of the car I felt much better about the heights. The first place we stopped we just kind of looked over the edge down below but the second place we stopped was much cooler. There was an old broken house on the other side of the road and we went up and looked around a bit and then found a little cave probably used to store stuff. We then walked down a path on the other side and we found a more modern house. This one actually had an outhouse. There was also a path that looked like it would wind down the mountain into the gorge (This part wasn’t very steep compared to later on). We continued and it got much steeper very fast. We went up and up until we were on top of the mountain. Once up there it was like you were still on the ground. It was just fields and little lakes with little villages and towns. We stopped in a little place called Sault. We just kind of looked around then kept going. We then found a tiny little village. It had a beautiful view of the peak of this huge mountain and it was all snow at the top. We grabbed a drink from there cool fountain and went home. We started planning our next big trip... Monaco.

Before the Monaco there was a big day for us. We went to a Crocodile farm on Sunday. It was really cool. It had over 350 Crocodiles. We walked around a bit and saw big crocodiles, little crocodiles, weird mouthed crocodiles and even and albino crocodile. We also saw some tortoises and some exotic birds. This wasn’t the highlight of the day though. When I got home I awaited eagerly the Gold Medal game Between Canada and USA. It was a very close but Canada was winning to whole game. When the U.S. scored at the end I thought Canada was going to lose because of the momentum but that goal by Crosby was awesome and the pass by Iginla was pretty amazing too. I was so happy they won. I was sad to not be able to be in Canada at time like that, when the county is in frenzy. Well I will continue with Europe. The Monaco day came around sooner than I expected and I wasn’t able to get the previous days blog post’s in so now I well just attach them.

We woke up at 6:00 am on the 2nd of March and got ready and were out the door at 7:00 am. We stopped in a place along the Riviera called Bandol. We got some croissants and baguette (as usual) and took a walk along the port. It was a beautiful day and I was bummed out that I didn’t where my shorts. We saw a bathroom and we decided to take a pre-emptive strike and all go to the bathroom. These bathrooms are self-cleaners, so after someone goes it sprays it down then lets the other person in. So first my mom went, then I waited, then I went in, Then Chelsea waited and waited then just decided to go in. The bathroom light thingy said it was going to spray and so we yelled at Chelsea and she got out just in time. It was pretty funny. We turned around and walked back to the car. We drove for a bit more then stopped in St. Tropez. We walk along the port and saw a lot of big expensive boats. We then went to a little shopping place (I have noticed that I use the adjective little a lot, but I am really describing something peaceful and beautiful). On the way back to the car we got some gelato. I don’t much care for gelato so I took a pass on this, but I will still tell you what my family got. Chelsea got all Raspberry (I tried some and I actually wished I had gotten some), my mom got a mix of lemon and cookies, and my dad got a mix of chocolate and raspberry. We got back in the car and kept driving. We stopped in a town a couple minutes later for lunch. We got some sandwiches and Fantas and started eating. I got some sand from this place (I am just going to say it’s from St. Tropez) and we kept going. Our next stop was Cannes. So we drove till we came across these beautiful Rocky Mountains. We stopped and took pictures and had a good time. Then it was back in the car. We were in traffic in Cannes and there was a parking spot just up ahead so I hopped out to grab some sand. It turned out it wasn’t a parking spot so they kept driving. I met up with them a couple minutes later down the beach and we had a good laugh about it (It wasn’t the first I have been left behind...Love you mommy) We played around a bit on the beach running away from the waves(unsuccessfully sometimes). Then it was back in the car with our wet and sandy feet. We were gonna stop in Nice (pronounced knee-se like niece and nephew) but decided not to because we were planning on doing it the next day. It was beautiful there. We were driving through right as the sun was going down so it was glistening of the water. It is actually really hard to explain how beautiful it was. So I won’t. We got to our hotel 5 or 10 minutes later. We had a huge room. There was a room for my parents, a room for my sister and a pull out couch for me. We didn’t stay long though. We put our stuff in the room and headed out to Monte Carlo. The whole point of this trip for me was to get awesome pictures of cars, so I had my camera out and was looking for some good shots. We found a good place to park in a pretty big parking garage. On the way down I saw an Aston Martin, the first of many nice cars seen. We decided to get supper first, so we walk down to the port and looked around. Going down the Street there was a Lotus dealership (very nice car), then a Ferrari race car thingy (they were having some sort of party or conference in the place) but in the window they had the engines. It was super cool. We then found a grocery store. We got a bit of candy and I was also able to find a cherry 7up. This was much better than the Cherry Coke. I have decided to put in the blog side bar cool drinks I have had in Europe. Continuing, we decided to walk up a side street in search of a good restaurant. Lucky for us we came across a Ferrari dealership. It had 7 Ferrari’s just sitting outside and 4 more inside. Not only that right next door there was a repair shop full of Ferrari’s (doesn’t say much about their reliability). We came across a nice restaurant and decided to eat there. We looked at the menu and I found it a bit suspicious that they didn’t have drink prices so I decided to get water just in case. The guy came back with bottled water. I just drank it anyways. We also decided what to eat. My dad had a grilled cheese sandwich (with ham), Chelsea had Cheese Pizza and so did my mom and I had a fries but this time with the chicken. It was delicious. We played a little guess the bill game and we were all wrong. The drinks cost 6 euros each(9$) except the water, It was 5 euros (7,5$). We paid 34,5$ for drinks. Luckily that didn’t faze us. We decided to go up to the famous Monte Carlo Casino and look for some nice cars. When we got up there was some loud rumbling. It was a beautiful Ferrari. It was pretty cool. We went around the circle in front of the casino and saw another nice Ferrari and I got a good picture with it and then we went back to the earlier mentioned one and I got picture with it as well. When I was walking back, the owner of the car asked if I wanted to get in. I said yes right away. Next thing I know he is starting it up and telling me to rev it. I have never heard a car so loud. He then tells me to scoot over so he can take me for a drive. He puts it in to gear and starts driving but Stalls it. You haven’t lived till you’ve seen a guy with a pretty big ego stall a Ferrari and the try regain his composure. I could tell he had been drinking, maybe because he smells like alcohol or maybe because he keeps say F*** about random things. He drove me around the circle then hit the gas hard at the end for emphasis. The G-forces were crazy. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. It was so cool. We decided to walk around a bit in the park in front of the casino. In the park we talked about how my Grammie stole towels from the hotel of the casino. Her and her friend Grace went in with some excuse and came out with some towels. I think that is a pretty good souvenir. We took some nice family pictures in front of the casino and then some picture of the fountains and so on. On the way back to the car the same guy asked my dad if he wanted to go in the Ferrari. My dad said yes and on the way to the car the guy turned to my dad and said”I am so drunk” it was pretty funny. So my dad was in the car and the guy says rev it. So my dad pushes softly on it and the guy pushes down on his leg, it was so loud, but the best part is the cops came over and was telling the guy that he can’t be too loud. The cop was angry too. He was mad. So then my dad got out and we walked back to the car with some good stories and some nice pictures. On the way out of the parking garage we saw some cars under covers. So each one my dad would hop out and lift it up to see what kinda it was. They were all Ferraris and Aston Martins. I must have seen probably 20 Ferraris because of the dealership and parking garage and you know the one I was in. We drove back to the hotel and just crashed.

In the Morning it was all rainy and yucky out. Me and my dad went and got some frosted flakes and came back. Then me and my mom got some croissants and jus. We decided to take the fast way home and not stop in Nice because it was so yucky out. When we got home we watched episodes 2 and 3 of survivor (which were really funny and interesting) and now it is 2:00 am and I have to get to bed. Thanks for reading as always.

The places we've been, The things we've seen, The Bathrooms we've stopped at

So a couple of days ago (I forget since it’s been so long since my last blog post) we went to a little place called Orange. It actually isn’t that little because it gets its own arch de triomphe and it has a really old and really big stadium/opera house. We parked and went into their little market (there is one in a different city each day) It was a really big market. We looked around not buying anything when we came across a really old church. We went inside and the sign said 1208-2008. It was 800(and 2) years old and the first thing we thought when we got in there was Grammie would be so proud of us. We continued and decided to find some lunch. My dad got (another) sandwich, my mom got (another) sandwich, my sister got a chocolate croissant and I found a nice little place in the market that had chicken wings (or what I hoped were chicken...yikes) and some (French) fries which most of you probably haven’t had in France.(haha) Then as usual we had to find a bathroom for my mom. This would seem easy in a place like Canada where there are either heavily wooded areas or fast food places around. Here the stores and restaurants just pretend like they don’t have any. So my mom ended up having to pay 0.5 euros to take a tinkle. We then got are cheese and left.
In the past week there have been some days were we haven’t done anything (interesting) but I will try to remember the days that we did do some stuff. So one day it was suppose to be a nothing day but my mother and I changed that and decided to go for a little car drive. We started by going to Cairanne. We never stopped but I will count it in the places I’ve been category. Then we continued on to saint Cecil de Vignes. Again we did not stop but we did later on (which I will get to). We kept going and went to a place called Bollène. We drove around till we found this huge grocery store called E.LECLERC. We bought our delicious strawberries and left. We went back home and did nothing. After another nothing day we had another but there was some drama at the end of that day. My dad went out for run. This is usually only takes 45 minutes but an hour and a half later my mom was getting worried as it was getting dark. She got in the car and started looking for him. She came back a half hour later to see if he still wasn’t home. So she went down to Armondo’s house to ask for help. 10 minutes later my dad walks in the door. He goes down to Armondo’s house and brings my mom back. Turns out she was crying on there front porch. When we found out he was fine we started joking around saying he’s got good Health Insurance and what would we have eaten for supper.
The next day we got up early (8:00 a.m. is early for us now) and headed out to Marseille. We stopped in the earlier mention Saint Cecile de Vignes because the market was there that day. We got some stuff for our lunch the next day with Armondo and his family. We continued on to Marseille. We got there and drove around for awhile and everything was fine until...my mom had to pee. We were secretly in panic mode inside. No one was saying anything to provoke or to anger IT. After almost hitting another car and some funny one liners (like ‘’this isn’t even funny I am going to pee my pants’’ and ‘’Just so you guys know, I am peeing my pants right now’’) we then found a toilet and a parking spot. After that ordeal We found another nice restaurant to eat at. It was right next to a place called buffalo grill with really Canadian bison burgers...because that’s what really Canadians eat. Again I will list what we ate...because I can. My dad had some pasta, my mom and my sister had cheese pizzas and I had a chicken leg platter but without the chicken leg because they were out. It was another fries and baguette lunch for me. We then walked down the port. It was really cool. Then we saw another really old church. I think Grammie raised her son pretty well because again my dad wanted to go inside. So we looked around a bit in the Cathedral de Major then walked back to the car. On the way back there was a guy selling candy and we decided to get some. It was pretty expensive (2,00 euro per 100 grams) but we were on vacation after getting a little bag each(just me and Chelsea) The man weighed them on an old scale. He did a very poor job. He also seemed stupid and I don’t think knew how to do math (or use a simple scale). My mom then gave him a twenty (euro) and he gave back (after a couple seconds of thinking) 4,00 (euro) which was way to much. My mom questioned him but there wasn’t much we could do. We paid 24 dollars Canadian for very little candy. I felt bad for a couple minutes but we were able to laugh it off. We went home and me and my mother tried to watch Juno unsuccessfully but then decided to watch an episode of Modern Family instead. If you haven’t seen this show you probably should, it is hilarious. Anybody related to me or has a sense of humour will love it. If that doesn’t convince you, my dad said it is his new favorite show.
The next day could be called a nothing day because we didn’t go anywhere but we were having Armondo and the family over for lunch. My dad made some pasta to start, then we had chicken cordon bleu with potatos and some salads. We also had dessert which was a (French) apple pie and some little tarts we got at a bakery. We sat around and chatted for a bit. After they left we didn’t do much of anything. I watched some family guy on my ipod then I got to see the Houlahans. We skyped them and I (and the family) got to talk to my cousins, ants, uncles, and Grammie and Jack. We had fun and did a lot of laughing. I miss you guys:(. Well now I am about to start to watch the Canada vs USA game online. Cross your fingers.

Baguettes, Croisants and....Lasagna

Sorry I didn’t post an entry yesterday. I was a bit busy. But I will start with that day before that. I woke up to see snow. I was very happy about that because getting down those narrow streets in snow would be a nightmare and that means we wouldn’t be going on a little road trip. We sat around all day doing nothing and then I listen to the Sens game (I think... I forget which day it was) and went to bed around 3:00 a.m. but The game wasn’t over yet.
When I got up I was happy to hear the Sens had won. After that it was time to plan our day. We decided we would go to Avignon. After driving about an hour we arrived in Avignon finding some good parking then going out for lunch. We fund a nice (cheap) place and decided to eat there. My sister got a cheese pizza as did my mother. My dad got a three course meal with onion soup, lasagne (which he did care for too much) and crème caramel (I don’t know the English translation). I had a plate of fries (I haven’t found much appetizing at restaurants in France...except that fry sub that was awesome) after that we didn’t spend much time there. We hoped back in the car and drove by Le Pont d’Avignon (No, We didn’t dance on it nor did anybody else we saw). We then went home taking the scenic route (My mom’s idea) and we stopped in a little place like 2 minutes from where we lived called Tulette. The bakery there makes the best baguettes and croissants. So we got 2 baguettes and some croissants and we were on our way. We went and I was very happy to finally find something to put my peanut butter on. It’s nice because we have been using the oven to heat the house so I can just throw in a couple slices of baguette and then in a couple minutes they’re nice and crispy. It’s wonderful. That was when it kinda settled down and me and my mom decide to watch a show called Destination Truth (about searching for myths like mermaids but the guy is hilarious and he has a good point of view) Then it was bed time(for them) I stayed up till about 2:00 a.m.(I am bit use to staying up for hockey games). Luckily I have been sleeping in and I have been getting 8:00 hours of sleep every night (I actually wake up right when Its been 8 hours).
So this morning, you guessed it, I woke up at 10:00 a.m. and had a little breaky then me and my mother (it’s becoming a bit repetitive) decided to check out Vaison de la Romain again. First we stopped at the Tulette bakery and got some more baguettes. We got 3 this time because, well, we need them. They were right from the oven so we had to eat some. 15 minutes later and 1 baguette eaten we arrived at Vaison de la Romain. Right when we got there it was 12:00 and as a tradition all the stores close for lunch (except restaurants of course). We walked around a bit but decided to go to Bazarland (see earlier reference) When we got there we realized they were closed(mostly because there was a huge metal gate pulled down in front of the store like it was in downtown New York). We kept driving and found an open grocery store. It was kinda like a mini Wal-mart because it had some non food stuff in it too. We killed some time there (and bought some stuff) then left the store just as quick as we had come in. We went by a car wash and saw they had a vacuum car cleaner. So we stopped and got all the baguette crumbs out of the car from when we ate it like savaged beasts. After that we went to Bazarland which was now open. We farted around in there (as my mom calls it) then left. We decided to go home because we were a bit tired (of shopping). When we got home we just sat around and I ate some baguette and talked to some friends on the computer. Now I am typing this and about to watch another episode of Destination Truth with my mother. You’ve been a great audience. Thank you , Good night

Are we there yet, Are we there yet, Are we there yet....

Yesterday, at around 2:30, we decided we would take a trip to Vaison La Romain. Chelsea decided not come as she had just woken up a half hour earlier (That would be an hour before school would END if we had school). The drive only took 10 or 15 minutes (it was just down the road). We first stopped at a store called Bizareland (European Giant Tiger) we looked around a bit and found something that Giant Tiger doesn’t have. If you have been to the Rideau center (Ottawa) you will have seen a store called Happy Days (the IT store) at the back of this store it is just all joke sex stuff. This store had the same thing in its store too (I know, it’s all sex in France). We parked in there down town area and walked around a bit. We got some croissants and baguettes (When in Rome) and we were on our way back home again. Last night I planned to listen to the Sens game online. I got all set up in bed with my laptop and headphones and I heard them announce the starting line-up then the starting goalies, then nothing. I had fallen asleep without even hearing the puck drop.
In the morning I was able to go online to see the scores. Ottawa won. We started planning another trip today. Planning always starts with estimating what time we are going to leave then waking Chelsea up an hour and a half before. We decided to go to a town called Nyon. We left at 1:00 pm and were planning on eating lunch there. We got there in only 20 minutes (about as far from the airport to Disney...hahaha) we looked for a couple places to eat and decided on a take-out sandwich place. My dad got a weird egg plant sandwich (he even thought it was weird), my sister caught some chocolate croissants, my mom got a little quiche and I got a sandwich with my name all over it. It was called a poulet frites. It was half a huge baguette with delicious chicken, lettuce and topped with French Fries (surprisingly that’s not what they call them here). It was so good. I am thinking of selling the idea to Subway. We decided to keep going down the road and it took us thru these huge mountains (or so I thought) It turns out they are just the foot hills of the Alps. They were pretty amazing and I got some great pictures. We turned around and went back down the winding road. We stopped at the grocery store and I was standing in the candy aisle looking at the price and it was amazing. Chocolate bars are so cheap, a pack of twenty Twix bars is only 5 Euros (7,50 $) and 4 big white chocolate bars was only 1,50 Euros (2,75 $). We got back home and I decide to go for a run (Gym class). It was pretty fun and I got see some of St. Roman De Malegare that I haven’t seen. When I got home I was pooped and I decided to take a nap. I sit here at 11:00 o’clock writing this and listening to the Team 1200 on the radio and now I think I will go to bed, Good night.
