Hey There

Well, I'm in France with friends,and have been internetless; which is why it's been a while since an update.

The French also use a crazy keyboard. It's taken me 18 minutes to type this much correctly, so this will be short. But when I get home, I'll fill you in.

Interesting points so far:
  • Another slight timing/date confusion
  • Some magnificent cigars
  • My first... uh, exposure... to topless beaches
  • Sleeping in a tent again - it's been a while
  • Being in the French Riviera and feeling vaguely like it's actually Holland
More to come, when I get to a keyboard where you don't need to use "shift" to get to the period. I don' know who thought this one was a good idea...

Hilarious. I can't stand French keyboards either. I remember that problem VIVIDLY. The Swiss one is far more...efficient. Bless Swiss efficiency.

You've lived in Switzerland for 8 years and never been to a topless beach? How is it that my first trip to a beach in Europe took care of this... and on sunny days in Lausanne, the, um, exposure was unavoidable along Lac Leman...

Goodness I'm feeling worldly about now. My goody-two-shoes image is tarnished. Except that I'm safely anonymous.

Yeah, well, more on that in a forthcoming post, I promise. For now, let's just say that I've played it smart...
