Arrivederci Italy, Bonjour France

We left Italy today (sad) and just arrived in Cannes.

We are tired after a long day stuck on a train with 4 incredibly obnoxious people. While other passengers on the train had the luxury of sleeping, we were forced to endure nonstop talking and several shin kickings by the 7 year old little boy sharing our car. We watched in horror as he proceeded to eat an apple,one nibble at a time, and then spit each bite out on the fold out table in front of him. Afterwards, he opened a giant package of ham that filled the car with hamstink, at which point we almost lost it. There was nothing left to do but to glare menacingly at him when his parents weren't looking and then laugh quietly to ourselves.

But the views from the train were amazing as we followed the coast the entire time. We feel like we might need to buy a yacht or something. We're excited to explore the French Riviera and will post more as the adventures here come our way.

I don't feel too bad about a litte hamstink and shin kicking. You're in France...I think you'll survive. ;-)

Have fun and be safe. I miss you.

Love, James
