I'm not back from my vacation yet, but here's an update of what I've been doing so far.
Ever since Thursday night to Sunday morning, I was staying in a quaint place in the south of France with my family. The first dinner I had there was a little bland, but the next dinners I had were a lot more delishious (I even had duck to eat). On Firday, we explored a small town where a man was unloading honeycome frames from his truck into a store that sold goods made by bees. For Saturday, we went on a canoe trip and I had to share one with my dad. Since the two of us don't like each other that much (he tends to treat me like I'm a dunce), 3/4ths of the trip was horrible; however, once we decided to pull ourselves together, we actually did a whole lot better.
We didn't stay in that little house for long in France because we went over to one of dad's friend's house to spend two nights there. He his a very nice man that I knew for quite some time (although I know his daughter a lot better). Today, we spent the day on an island that is not far from the house that was quite nice. The trails that connect the village to the beaches were very rough to handle due to how uneven and wooded they are (I even saw a little hole in the ground that probably was a wasp nest), but the beachs and the town were lovely. On one of the beachs we visited, I collected a lot of sea glass, which suits me fine since I like collecting little trinkets and I'm not a fan of swimming in sea water.
Anyway, if you're wondering why it took me this long to post, I didn't feel like browsing the web for my offtime on this vacation. Instead, I mostly played my 3DS and my Gameboy SP. When I finally decided to go online after arriving at my dad's friend's house, I discovered that my main computer was unable to use the wifi here correctly. While it could browse a few web sites, such as Youtube, I was unable to use the rest of the sites I like to go to (including this one). When I decided to use my dad's friend's computer today, I managed to get to every web site without no trouble. While that suits me fine, the downside is that the computer is a French one. Considering that the key layout is completely different from a USA layout and I lack a spellcheck that checks English spelling, I'm likely to make a few more typos and spelling erorrs than usual. If you see any in my posts, I'm sorry about that.
