lagging on the posts

Sorry for lagging on the posts lately. I've been busy since Sandy came to travel with me in Italy for the week. It was so much fun. Pictures and stories to come later.

I'm in Nice right now and will be off to Bordeaux tomorrow afternoon. It's almost 3am here. I'm tired, dirty and can't wait to get home. It's been a great experience and I am having great time, but traveling drains you. This is not a vacation. Traveling is exhausting. Oh home sweet home, I can't wait to be there :)

Fast and Furious 5

I got back to my hostel early yesterday, and I didn't feel like hanging around, so I went to the movies. They only had 2 show times, 8:15 and 8:30, and there were only 4 movies playing. I watched Fast and Furious 5...all in German. You don't need to know the language to understand that movie. I got the gist, except for the jokes. I sat straight faced as everyone in the audience was laughing in unison.

I sat in the back so I could eat my dinner that I snuck in :). A salad, banana and chocolate.

Queen's Day Celebration at the Happy Inn Lodge

I'm in Interlaken, Switzerland! This is what I arrived to yesterday afternoon. The Inn has a restaurant/bar downstairs and the bar double as the reception area. There was a band and food and everyone was wearing orange. They were celebrating because it was Queen's Day in Holland. I don't know the significance of this holiday, but maybe it's just an excuse to party.

There wasn't much to do today since a lot of things are closed on Sundays. I mostly just walked around town. I went to church in the morning and it was packed because there was a First Communion celebration. It was half in Italian and half in German. It's colder here than it was in Annecy. Well, maybe tomorrow will be more fun.

I don't remember what the hot dog looking thing was called, but it was good. It was like a mix of a corn dog and breakfast sausage. The preferred condiment is mayo with fries and their "ketchup" is more like hot sauce that's not spicy.
