The further adventures of an earthbound alien

I forgot that when you are in another country the words on the computer go all funny. So "Blog Spot" turns into "Blog'être Spoteureux". As you may have guessed from my, "clever made up to look French" word play there, we're in France. (Either that or Burbank has gone completely gay.) Cannes France, to be specific.
Here's a little tip for everyone, and I wish someone had told me this, the name Cannes is pronounced "Can" as in "yes, we..." I know people want to say "Cans or Con" but trust me it's "Can". I know because I asked a cob driver. Or was it cabs driver...?
Jen took the pictures, by the way, so If she emailed them to you... tough! Here they are again!!

By day, we live in a tropical post card that, by night, turns into a fashion mag loaded with perfume adds that smell like cigarettes and dog pee. My French has not improved but after a couple glasses of wine I really don't care if I'm all that right. I can still get the food in front of me and I'm still surprised when I get a look at what I really ordered. Jen is having a ball with the language and is rarely surprised. Her trick is to lay our all the starters like, "Excuse me but, could you tell me..." or the somewhat more direct; "Here's what I want, Frenchie!" Then she attaches the right noun and, le poof! Food! Unfortunately, she only does it to me so, as you can imagine we're having quite a time here.
Up until today, which is our birthday (Our! As in: me and Jen not: Gollum and Smegal) and it is the first day I can wear casual clothes in this hot weather. There are two other little trade show matters that I need to deal with then it's off to sight-see.
Jen and I are going to hit the rails today and see some other towns along the Mediterranean. I know this, not only because she told me but, because she tied a bandanna full of clothes to a stick last night. and smeared her face with grease paint, to look like a beard. Like I said we're having quite a time here.

What wonders will we see on our adventure? I guess you will both have to wait!
