Ben joined us

ok; i know this entry is late. we have been running around a lot and have not seen much of the internet. I'm glad to see that its still here. our day trip to Aix was gorgeous and much better than the construction ridden city of Qix itself. the trip back into Marseille was a mess as usual, so we were late picking up Ben. he called us and we worked out a plan to meet him at the train station, otherwise we'd have been 2 hours late getting to him. once back at the hotel, we introduced Ben to the wonders of Port. our new favorite drink. we dont really go anywhere without it and have sampled 4 brands at the time I'm writing this. besides powdered gatorade, port is one of the things I'm most thankful for on this trip.


for dinner, we took ben to a creperie where we got sweet and savory crepes. the nice french family next to us convinced me to get a crepe flambe (i.e. it was doused in alcohol and set on fire). family was extremely nice to us. the father even gave us his contact info an offered to take us on a tour of the city. i guess the mean french you always hear about are mostly in Paris. at least thats my theory.

ok, there are 3 people waiting for this PC, I'll have to get back at this later.
