Today I am enjoying my free day inside with a book and the internet - it is pouring outside. This is the first time I have seen rain like this in Provence, which is indeed rare.

Although I am quite close to Olivetta San Michele in Italy and I have passed through Ventimiglia to get here, I still find myself on a farm in the country where I have been for already more than a month. I intend to keep this short, because it is late and I am actually a little scared of the wild boar that is roaming around here when it is dark - I am not that brave.

Because I appear too stupid to adequately deal with the website's picture uploading system, I decided to keep my and Yuri's pictures updated on my personal picasaweb account. Take a look at the following page for the latest pictures, I've managed to update them up to the first series of pictures shot in France. More will follow.

Dear hosts and hostesses,

Beste allemaal,

Uitzicht bij IlonseMijn hele lieve gastheer en -vrouw hebben mij een ongebruikt fototoestel kado gegeven, waar ik ze heel dankbaar voor ben. Ik heb er veel plezier van, en de eerste foto's (waaronder ook een aantal van mijn gastheer zelf) kun je onder gallery vinden. Gisteren heb ik fijn met hen en meer mensen gewandeld in de buurt van Ilonse, en vandaag heb ik het ontzettend drukke Monaco bezocht.

Right now I'm staying at the maker of the photos in Roquebrune in his home in La Turbie, close to Eze-village not far from where I received a warm welcome from a reunion of his group of hikers yesterday. At the reunion I saw very beautiful pictures of France's many regions, and realized with people of literally all ages that I've got my whole life left to cycle and hike and that growing old doesn't have to be so bad.

Beste allemaal,

Beste mensen,

De standaardtaal op de site staat momenteel ingesteld op Engels. We hebben redelijk was gepost intussen, maar daarvoor moet je eerst rechtsboven op Nederlands klikken.

Groetjes uit een zonnig Genova!!

Yuri
