Hey. I was in Amsterdam last weekend with my Dad. I might have mentioned that, but I’m too lazy to look at my old posts or actually go to my website and see. I’ll post pictures at some point in the future, once I get through the few remaining from the Easter vacation. It’s my last week of work, it sort of begins tomorrow, since my last day is a Monday.

And you don’t have to pay much to go there for the afternoon. That is, if you live in Nice.

Bit of a surreal news day huh. Not sure what to say about that.

As promised:

I couldn’t help it, I had to post one more from the flower market.

Chelsey took this picture. We were walking up the green squiggly part on the far right.

Well that’s it for Nice. Nothing too exciting. I have a few pictures from Monaco, Cannes, and Juan-les-Pins, and some craziness from our first night in the apartment, so I’ll post those too.

Hey, guess what, I need a job! I have one for June actually, yay, temping in my dad’s department. Doing the exact same work I did when I was 16. How funny.

So, as you might have noticed, the blog went dead for about a week. It’s a complicated boring story, having to do with graduating and losing my e-mail address, not renewing, and then living in France with an American credit card. But all is well now. Have no fear, likeafrog won’t be going dead anytime soon. At least not in the next few days anyway. Kidding.

I’m back from vacation and start my last two weeks of work tomorrow. It’s a bit late so I’m not going to post pictures now but there will be some later this week. This Thursday I’m going to Amsterdam to meet up with my dad. It’s tulip season so that should be cool.

Speaking of seasons, it’s hot here. Not really hot. But warm in the sun. Anyway it’s glorious. And my mom says it’s near freezing in Texas. How weird is that? I think we traded seasons….

Hey I’m in Nice! There’s a family somewhere in this building with unprotected wireless. It’s fab! It’s really slow though, and it tends to disappear. We’re watching Strangers with Candy. We went to the chateau today, which was really more of a hill… but it was cool. We also went to the flower market, and the beach.

I followed a trail of packing peanuts home from the lavomatique just now. They’re tricksy critters. They zig-zag back and forth across the sidewalk and just when you think they’ve turned and left, they pop up again. I lost the trail but I wish I knew where they were going (not here) and what they were carrying.

The internat is empty again, and all of the assistants except me are gone. I’m eating at the Buffalo Grill with J tonight and then leaving in the morning, for Nice! Actually first I’m going to Paris but I’ll probably only have lunch there. Speaking of which I need to buy train tickets. Tata, back in a week.
