my first and last american breakfast (country-fried steak with gravy, hash browns, and eggs over-medium) of the trip which i had with mom and dad hours before i got on my plane back to nice, originally uploaded by mjane.

as soon as i got back to nice, mackenzie picked me up from the airport and when we got to the car chris lipomi was sleeping in the front seat... quel surprise! so he was in town until the weekend, and i got back just in time for the france/togo match. they won of course, and needless to say, after beating the brazilians the town is pretty damn excited... allez les bleus!

after chris took off to carrera, italy, and my nursing a couple of hangovers, it was high time to get mackenzie and me a place to live in barca. after one email from oliver referring us to the website he used to find his flat out there, we found our cute little studio not even an hour after! thanks oliver darling! we're moving in on august 1st. how exciting. until then, my lucky ass gets to enjoy this hot july in our spot at atoll beach for three more weeks. enjoy it miss mjane cuz the whip's gonna be cracking come august. and en español... ayayay!
