livin it up
ah well where to begin. i dont remember what pictures i put up yesterday, so ill just guess. we got to marseille via jimmy's shitty driving and we only made it due to my excellance in all fields of navigation including inaccurate directions deciphering (in spanish) from the guy at our hotel in barcelona. he said just follow "signs". whatever. anyway it was a fairly good looking drive on the way to marseille. lots of beach. we got to marseille and i once again navigated us to our hotel. we stayed overlooking the port. it was tight. saturday night there was a party and jacques and jackies house so we had a nice evening with them, shane and marie laure, edith and manu, and maurice and marie-po. shane and i then did a bit of marseille by night and he finally forced us to leave the bar at 3 oclock in fear of getting divorced. i then slept on the floor of the hotel. i woke up feeling all kinds of wonderful and headed to church for baby jack's christening. after that we drove out to this cool club at La Ciotat which is down the coast from Marseille. we had cocktails followed by an incredibly drawn out lunch and then a bit of swimming in the med and the pool. we got up this morning and loaded up to the train station. every one already had tickets, except me because i have a railpass. in typical graham fashion, i couldnt get on the same train with the folks, so i had to spend an hour in the train station bar and then ride to nice by myself on trashy city to city train (not the TGV). anyway got here a few hours ago, we are staying in an old palace right on the med. quite nice. there are art galleries and stuff on the first floor, fairly ridiculous. anyway my fingers hurt and i am tired of typing. peace
