A Good Meal

After we saw the Arc de Triomphe, we stopped by this restaurant on the way back to our hotel. We were in high spirits for having conquered the metro and Paris that day! The food was delicious, the waiter was friendly, the evening was lovely, and we were in no hurry to be anywhere....all of this made for a very happy time!

Give me some attitude!

Hmmmm

Ranger got a hold of the camera again...

Rocks and Boats - A few of my favorite things.

Between the Nice harbor and the city there is a look out point. I'm sitting on the wall in the first picture. Below the wall are rocks reaching down to the ocean and just begging to be climbed on. Jesse, come and touch the ocean with us. If you ever have a chance to climb on these rocks... don't do it. There is a sign posted that strictly forbids it. I didn't see the sign until afterwards - stupid American!

We had to visit the harbor everyday we were in Nice - completely fascinating!

This is my bike...

This is my bike on.........mud.

Our land is split in two by a large pond - this side and that side. I was trying to go to that side for some sweet trail riding, but the only way to get there is through the *doom voice* dreaded spillway. I didn't quite make it - my bike flopped over to the right. The throttle was lodged in the mud. I hit the kill switch, and pushed/wrestled/pulled the bike back up. I started it again, and accidentally killed it - again. All this was more than my little battery could take, and it just completely pooped out on me. Sooo, I started the long walk of shame back to the house. Dad came and helped me pull/wrestle/push my bike through the mud back up to this side, and jump the battery with the truck. Ride on!

This is actually the second time this has happened. My Dad's a great sport to help pull my dead bike out of the mud TWO times!
