Nice calling

Katie called from the reception area of a nice Nice hotel. She spent a lot of time on the French Riviera swimming to escape the heat, poor baby. She sounded tired. I think the 3 days here/2 days there method of travel is wearing her down.

She met some kids from Colorado who are back packing around Europe. She really gets a kick out of being so far away and meeting people from "home". I think it's probably fun to meet new people her age who's first language is english.

She's enjoyed eating in the local restaurants and trying new foods. One of her favorites is French Onion Soup. But she says when you're in France, you can drop the "French" part and just order "onion soup". She reported that it was delicious.

She heads to Barcelona today. The weather will be in the upper 80s and low 90s but there are a lot of beaches to help cool them off.

And for those of you who are keeping score in the postcard contest, add 1 on your scorecard for Jenny.
That makes Katie - 5, Jenny - 4 (& closing in fast!)
