A blog is a joke!

Woops!  I mean a blague is a joke...heehee... :)

That is, in French the word for joke is 'blague', but it sounds like 'blog' when people say it.  So yes, I had to look it up on Google translator to make sure I spelled it right, but I thought it was funny that this phenomenon of blogging around the world was actually, quite literally, a joke to French speakers!

Not much more progress since yesterday.  My host sent me a website that I'm trying to translate because it's something about student apartments.  Every day the French and Italian switch in my head is becoming easier, but it's still difficult.  Especially when people won't speak whatever language it is back to me!  arg...

Yesterday was a blast though.  Sang in a masterclass with Ryan.  The instructors were great.  Sadly we had to use music, but we talked to them before hand and they were perfectly fine with it.  It limited us some but we still worked for 45 minutes.  After that we got a little bite to eat with them; them being most of the cast of Cosi.  And then after that we went to a party for the festival at which some of the festival sponsors spoke and then gave us presents!


Body wash, hand cream, and a couple wrinkle reducers.  One for the day, one for the night.  All pomegranate  scented.

Also, I had a lot of pics I had forgotten to upload, so here are some beach pics!

Walking down to the beach

Ryan playing on the beach

My feet getting hit by water that was really, really cold

Rocks!

Feet in the water.  Cold!

Ryan burying my feet in the sad under the water.  Jerk.

Underwater shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Little side beach past the rocks

Ryan perched on rocks reading.  I was perched on my own rock.

Good times at the beach!  Yay!  Off to another day of trying to find something to do on the island.
