Cette Un Tres Pictureful Post Ce Soir, Non?

The last keyboard i had to use was horrible so it took me soooo long to type out that small amount of stuff. There was really so much more that happened in Barcelona but it would have taken me so long to write about on that stupid crazy keyboard. But now we've figured out how to turn the keys into english keyboard style keys so this will be much, much better.

So Nice was amazing. We actually stayed at the greatest hostel of all time. It was pretty far from the city center but they really thought of everything like they would drive us to the closest bus stop all morning and when you were done you day, they would be either already there ready to pick you up or you just call a free number and they come get you. It was the easiest transportation in the world. And it was nice to because as you were waiting for their van to come get you we'd always meet others staying there and got to meet lots of people in that way. We got into a nice routine - wake up and move out (we had to switch rooms everyday, its a long story)m eat free breakfast in the huge dining hall, get a drive to the bus stop, take a bus to wherever, find a beach and do nothing all day!!! pretty nice life! at night we'd always go eat in the huge common area (cheap meals and such good food like beef burgundy) and then spend the rest of the night drinkin cheap wine and beer and hanging out with everyone in the hostel. It was really sad to leave cuz it was all just so easy and relaxing and CHEAP! Besides all of that, Nice is absolutly beautiful:

butttt alas we had to move on, things to see and places to go.

We took a loooooong 10hour train to Bordeaux where we are now and so far so good. We feel very French. For the past 5 days we've been saying random things in French and I've been pretending that I understand anything anyone says to me. Really though, we suck. Our french talk to each other is usually limited to the following few sayings (with strong french accent for emphasis, of course): "oui oui", "ces't ridiculous non", "ce soir", "ah zuit!", etc. We also put "tres" in front of mostly any adjective we use in a sentence and "non?" at the end of every sentence. So, you see, are French is nearing perfection and by the time we get home we should be fluent.

We will also be wine specialists too. Tomorrow we are going wine tasting!!!!! Way too excited about it! Hopefully we will pick up some wine-related french phrases to add to our extensive vocabulary.

Today we had a nice sleep in a room not filled with dorm beds for a change! Then explored the city lots. Its very medieval and old looking and so QUIET. Its like no city ive ever been in before. We've walked all over and also visited an old cathedral built in 1000! it was so cool and big! ANd inside it had that church smell (like incense and holy water or something) and huge paintings of jesus in various forms of pain and torture and candles and a massive organ - all so very ancient cathedralish. We also liked that it was free.

Now we are killing time because we are broke and its sorta rainy out and we dont have much to do today. Big, long day tomorrow though! Cant wait to see the chateaus, and the vineyards, and other French things and taste lots of yummy Bordeaux wine! Apparently wine that we get at home for 60$ is 2euros here so place your orders in with us via email and we'll see what we can do!
