My trip to France *56K no no*, Lots of pics Options

[Valo666]

So, i got back from France about 2weeks ago now. I finaly loaded some of the pics onto my photobucket account. I kinda dont wanna sit around for a day loading all 600 of them on, so i figured i would show you guys some of my fav pics. So for my trip, my girl friend, sarah, and i flew into Paris, hopped on a train and headed to Nice, right beside Monaco. Took 6 and a half hours on train to get from Paris to Nice. The first day we were there, we were awake for 38 hours straight because of the stupid time change. So we got to Nice where we had to hike for 25 minutes with 50lb backpacks in 32 degree (celcius), 89 fahrenheit weather, uphill. Finaly got to our appartment we rented. Small, but nice. Any ways, we spent 11 days in Nice and the French Riveara and our friends who were backpacking through europe together showed up and stayed with us for about a week. Any ways, enjoy the pics.

Looking West

It was cool but weird, the Nice Airport is loacted at the end of the coast right on the water so every day you were on the beach, planes would be flying like 300 feet above you. Cool but weird.

Pic of me, my gf, Jen (gfs life long friend), Stefan and Big Mike(guys i went to highschool with).

Canadian Bacon. Stef was on the beach for 2 hours, no sunscreen and it was like 35 that day. Its been two weeks and the burn still isnt fully gone away.

Mikey and Sarah. Mike decided to drink that entire bottel of wine to him self that night, after 3 pervious glasses and a bottel of beer.

The aftermath...

Hangin the laundry out to dry. We had some ghetto washer/dryer. To get every thing fully dry, the cycle took 2 and a half hours - 3 hours.

The coast at night.

home cooked dinner

we had about 2 bottels of wine a night for dinner. This was only part of the collection. Also, wine, good wine...$5.50 a bottel

Stef enjoying Coca-Cola Blak, a mix of Coke and Coffee flavour. Its actually really good.

This guy wouldnt move at all untill you put some money in his hat. We watched him for 20 min and he didnt move a muscle. It was weird.

me with an old Mini. These things are like civcs over there, every one has one.

me and sarah ontop of an old lookout in Cannes

our train from Cannes to Nice was sooooooooo nice, all leather. Stupidly swanky. Tobad the ride was only 40 min.


Paris Pictures

We spent two days in Paris. It was pretty nice, but not what we expected. We almost got caught in a student protest one day. That would have been fun, getting tear gassed and arrested our last day in the country.

Stairs going down the Arche de Triumph

sunset on the Efiel Tower

Sarah. This was around the corner from where our appartment was. We were like 15 min walking distance to the Tower.

Me, same place

mmmmm, french hotdog.

After 2 weeks of craving for starbucks, we found one in Paris.

Riot Police. For about a 15 square KM area, every street corner would have at least 3 cops in Riot gear. This area was right were we missed the protest about an hour earlier.

Some guy had one of these Aqua cars on the back of his Yatch as his life boat. Crazy French ppl.

Lotus. So many people had them over there. They go for like 15000 euros brand new over there.

they had this beer over there called Monaco Tango. It was just regular draft beer, mixed with Grenadine. You know grenadine, the stuff they make Sherly Temples with. Pink beer. It was actually pretty good.

I just through this was funny.

So thats about it. I still have like another 450 pics, so if you wanna see more, PM me and ill be glad to share with you.
As for the vacation its self, I LOVED the riveara and Nice. Soooo nice. Paris on the other hand. I spent two days there, coulda gone for 1 more and i would have been good.
