The French Connection

I know it's been a while since I've blogged, but working 84 hours a week in this South-West Asian shithole without access to alcohol or nookie has a way of sucking the life right out of you.

So anyway, after Florence, we stopped at Pisa to see the famous leaning tower. Then we were off to spend a day and night in Nice and Monaco along the French Riviera. Then off to Lyons to sample their famous cuisine. We finished up the last few days of the vacation in Paris. Seeing the city at night from the top of the Eifel tower was awesome. Extra cool was that there was a Buddhist Monk up on the observation platform with us.

Yada yada yada, it was the best vacation I've ever had. I have about a month left in this place, and right now that's seeming about a month too long. Let's just say I'm not in my happy place right now.

Quote of the day:

Tonight I'll sing my songs again
I'll play the game and pretend
But all my words come back to me
In shades of mediocrity
Like emptyness in harmony
I need someone to comfort me

Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home, where my thoughts escaping
Home, where my musics playing
Home, where my love lies waiting
Silently for me

-Homeward Bound, Simon & Garfunkel
