Day 1: l'arrivée

So after leaving Austin in a flurry of 24* weather and icy roads, rushing through the ATL airport to catch the connection through Schiphol (Amsterdam...yes Amsterdam...no it was only a two hour layover) I finally arrived in Marseille around noon local time.

That was the easy part.

My colleague and I pick up our cars and head off on our marry way...he near Nice...me off to La Ciotat. I wish I could say I drove directly from the airport to my hotel...but that wasn't the case. Two hours later and more wrong turns than I care to admit to and I finally make it! Ah well, I suppose there are worse places to get lost...

Hey there! You have more dad in you than you realize. Getting lost is dad's classic way of saying let's take the scenic route. Keep sharing the pictures and have a great time!

Ahhhhhh, fond memories. My first month in the mountains of COsta RIca, I didn't dare leave my cabin, since I didn't know how to get back! Greatest adventure of my life. You lucky, lucky soul.
