Hey guys! I felt like it was finally time for me to make my first post on our blog before Tim and Maria get here and we start sprinting our marathon. I'm currently in Nice, France and LOVING IT. In fact, we may actually change our trip plans to Nice in lieu of Antibes now that I've seen both cities.

Just as a heads up, in addition to posting here, I am going to keep up with a video blog sort of thing on my facebook wall. Posts from each city at least, if not daily :) As a side note, I am indeed capable of doing the laundry. People make mistakes.

Tim, Maria, and I are going to make some awesome friends over here. In fact, when I got to Nice, I met 4 Australian guys that I hung out with until they left the hostel this morning. They're names were Tom-O, Dave-O, John-O, and Harry (who doesn't get an -O at the end of his name. Poor guy...) Australians are apparently big into wagers. For instance, if John-O doesn't cut his hair until February, he'll make 40 dollars! And Tom-O got an eyebrow piercing 2 weeks ago. I don't really know what he got in return for that though... Anyway, they all turned out to be good guys, and I'm pumped for all the people we're going to meet while we're over here.

That's all for today. I'm heading to the beach to catch a "Sandball" tourny. Don't forget to check my FB wall for vids!
