Long Bus Ride

Sunday June 20
I've come up with a new motto for our bus company: We'll get you there...eventually. Somehow a google maps trip of 4:30 took over six hours, in addition to a three hour lunch break. It wasn't that bad though, Southern France is really pretty.

It's kind of like driving through the midwest in the US, but more hilly and with vineyards instead of corn fields. When we stopped for food in Saint Emilion, it was fairly scenic. We also saw a random procession of robed people.

In a word, I would describe the place as quaint. I was fairly adventurous on food, went with lamb chops for lunch and Japanese kebabs with raw fish and wasabi for dinner. I was still really hungry though so I grabbed a hamburger after the Brazil Ivory Coast game. Soccer really needs instant replay, watched an obvious handball lead to a goal for Brazil, and this two days after America got screwed by a bad call. Quiz over Aircraft Structures tomorrow, a little nervous about this one.
