apologies

i am sorry for anyone who has been checking the blog this last week (mom) and found NOTHING. i have written 2 entries in that time and taken somewhere in the neighborhood of a trillion photos but the photo upload portion of blogspot has been down and it is impossible to find a good Wi-Fi place in Nice. so here i am, alive - i am sure you are all relieved - and i promise a MEGA BLOG once i get to Barcelona (monday). take care, and buckle your safety belts.
