Day One In Europe

If I were in Europe right now, I'd be in Monte Carlo. I would've arrived five-and-a-half hours ago in Nice and James and I would've hitched a ride to Monte Carlo to do a little gambling European style, just like James Bond (I told you I was a freak). We would arrive in Monte Carlo and grab a bite to eat somewhere. After that we would walk along the waterfront until nightfall and then make our entrance into one of the most beautiful casinos in the world. We would gamble into the night and then find a hostel to stay in for the evening.
It would be about time for sunset over there right now. It would have been nice to dip my feet in the Great Sea (Mediterranean Sea) and watch the sun dip below the European sky. For some reason, when you are in a different land everything is better. The sky is better. The water is cleaner. Even the weather is more bearable. It could be raining for four days straight with sleet and sludge falling, yet because you are in a new place for the first time it's like a summer's day in San Diego.
Well, I'm not in Europe, so none of this will happen. At least not anytime soon. Tomorrow we will be going to Paris. I will tell you all about it.

if it makes you feel any better, it's freezing in paris (which is why i am sitting in an internet cafe, i am waiting to thaw out) and i had to throw away some clothes because my bag was too heavy to carry for a week.

all information we can put to good use this summer!

Hey James,
It is Joanna! Be careful, hope you are having fun!

If you would like James' e-mail address, I can give it to you. However, if you would like to turn my blog into a public forum I'm okay with that also. It gets more people to read my blog.

I would love to have James' email address.
