I'm in Nice, France

I should be feeling really nice right?

Well, it's funny cuz...I don't. I mean, it's beautiful here and my trip has been great for the most part. But it just sucks that you don't even have time to rest from your jet lag. You're either walking a lot or on the road a lot. That's how it is when you're going with people. You don't really get to decide what YOU want to do next. Sometimes even when you're in pain, you still have to move because you don't want to slow the others down.

I've really been missing home. I want to be in my cozy little home in my cozy little bed. I want to hug my mom. It's just so hard to find internet here. We tried to in Spain. It was too expensive to use internet at the hotel and the phone card I bought was $20 for only an hour. Yea...rip off for sure. We finally found an internet shop but the other two only wanted to be on for 20 minutes. I understand that we're in Europe and we should spend as much time exploring as possible, but the sun doesn't set in til 10 pm. There are really long days in Spain. I'm currently in France right now, and the sun sets a little sooner. There's actually free internet in this hotel which is great! They've also got a kettle for hot water which I've been looking for because my mom packed ramen and I was really craving them. The food here is really expensive if you don't know where to look. I love the cafes here. They're so cute! We've been having buffet breakfasts everyday and a buffet dinner every other day. So the days we don't have dinner and lunch paid for, we had to go look.

In Spain, we took the metro a lot. I'm a pro at it now. haha. Although it requires a lot of walking, I really like it. It's convenient. You don't need to worry about where you can park your car and it's pretty cheap. 1 euro for a ticket. The only problem is you can get mugged. If you don't watch your pockets and bags like Vinh and this other girl who's on the tour, they can mug you pretty easily. I haven't gotten mugged and I won't. I have my hand on my bag at all times. I'm a bit afraid of Italy though.

Anyway, it's about 2 in the morning here in France. I'm going to bath in the sun tomorrow. The water is so blue. It's beautiful.

I miss you all and I can't wait to come home. Don't be afraid to holler at me when you can. I'd love to have some home lovin'. Being homesick sucks when you're trying to have a vacation...but I guess that means I just really love home. =]
