Viva la France!

We left Italy on Wednesday...with no concrete plans took the regional train to the border of Italy and France in Vertimiglia and then hopped on their regional train along the coast to Nice. Only down side was the trains aren't fast regionally so it took a while but we had virtually no lay over time at the border which probably made up for it in the end. And it was free with our Eurorail pass! Got to Nice, France at about 7pm and began looking for a place to stay. Everything along the beach was either really expensive or booked. After 2 hours we finally found a hostel near the train station for €59 a night! That's the cheapest in Europe so far!

Ate at a TexMex place for dinner which made me think of Texas which made me think of Oklahoma which made me think of Kyla! I miss her!

Good thing the room was cheap because we scheduled today (Thursday) as a relax on the beach day renting two chairs and an umbrella. Swam in the Mediterranean Sea! There was this huge gal next to us couple chair over who kept spraying herself with sunscreen at least every 10 minutes! We decided we didn't really need to wear sunscreen since we got a lot of her mist! Jk we wore sunscreen and still burnt. Mostly my white stomach and lower back, not as bad as Randy though! Thank God for olive tone skin and a base tan from RED. There were many older women (50-60+) who just let it all hang out! Literally! So gross! I had to try and stop laughing and/or cringing because Randy would look and it's not like they were pretty! LOL poor Randy

Tomorrow and Saturday we do Arles and Avingon then on to Barcelona.
