14 Aug 2004 Bonjour ma petite formage frait (pt2)
I'm back from my two weeks holiday in the South of France (in Isle-Bouzon for those interested.) It's good to be back on familiar ground again:
- Not a great deal happened for most of the second week, since half the group left, due to various reasons, leaving three people including myself. This gave us more opportunities to lounge around and do nothing.
- We visited the town of Condom. That's right, there is a small town in France called Condom. Look it up on a map, near Toulouse. The irony is not lost on the French residents, as they've created a small museum for the rubber application. It's not very good though, it mostly consists of art pieces that portray the old "AIDS is bad, people died, practice safe sex" message.
- We went back to that swimming pool with the swimming trunks ban, but I came prepared this time. I went out of my way and bought myself a pair of Speedos! Not the Y-front variety, the boxer-brief variety, which (according to my lady friends) doesn't look too bad. It was nice to swim around legally, even if the speedos were riding up me a bit.
- We went to a mini village festival. At least we think we did. It looked more like a family barbeque, and we were all too embarrassed to ask the locals what was going on, so we left it alone. Saw some dodgy man break into one of their cars too.
- My car is in pretty bad shape, especially on the long drive back to England. Problems range from bad radiator, dodgy tires, car wouldn't turn on, car wouldn't turn off, and so forth. Pretty stressful.
So overall it was a good holiday. It was an experience. But next time I'm flying.
Now I'm back in England I should be able to sort out all the current problems with my web stuff. Stay tuned.
