Howdy y'all. Lovin' the comments. Ian, I laughed out loud at the black shorts and yellow T-Shirt comment....I am laughing as I type that, Alex, get off my ass...seriously I work my ass off, travelin and relaxing can really make you tired...my eyes have just worked too hard :D, Karly, I'm not just the dumb jock you might have thought me to be so nyah nya na nya na, Tiff, miss ya and cole, Phyll, seriously the moon must have been aligned perfectly last night for the first post, Mom and Dad, love you guys.
Today was another great day in the Tony Lewis book. Jean Luc picked me up this morning around 10:00am and we headed for Dieppe. Dieppe is the closest town, about 50 minutes away, to the sea. We were going to try to catch some rays and some fish at the same time. I will tell you neither of those things happened but I couldn't have been happier with my day.
The sun decided to hide today. It has been out all week, but for some reason it did not follow routine and we were left with overcast skies and wind. It was only Arthur, Jean Luc, and I at Dieppe because Benedict and Laura decided to pass on a cloud filled day. There was a slight breeze and the Paturel's were pissed. I was unusually really happy with the weather. Just a tranquil feeling. The was a crisp breeze that made your hair stand on end. I loved it.
We set up shop (fishing) on the boardwalk and cast out. We used artificial bait at first but later had to resort to other methods. So we had our poles propped up as we made ourselves some french baguette sandwiches with ham and hard boiled eggs. I was just completely content with just watching the waves roll and standing next to my pole. Just a completely relaxing day.
Arthur and I started to walk into town to the bait shop to get some worms but we made a detour to walk along the beach. If you have ever seen the Coldplay "Yellow" music video, this is it Lewis stylee.
The water was pretty cold so swimming in the channel will have to wait another day. So we headed back into Rouen taking a different route.
We stopped at a WWII Canadian Cemetary and I got some good pictures. We also took a more scenic route home because Jean Luc has picked up that I really enjoy the French countryside. I can see myself retiring amoung the rolling hills.
Got back home. Showered and went over to Olivear and Marie's for dinner. I supplied the main course with an assortment of sausages and they made a pot full of rice. We then drank rum and played guitar until the fingers felt pain. Great day and great night.
Love you guys and talk to you soon. Au Revoir.

I'm still trying to get used to the fact that you are writing more than once every 3 weeks! Glad you had a great day... and nice video tard! :)
Personally, I prefer your rendition to Coldplay's any day of the week.
Love, Dad.
Hey, thanks to you, I've been humming that tune all day long! Enjoyed the video. I know it takes time to format it into the blog.

My friend. Unless things change there by friday (and I mean drastically)---you need to do something else. I hear Lithuania is beautiful in the Summer.---ian
Ian told me about your most recent CF with the living conditions. I think the clubhouse sounds nice.
I think you should stuff Andre in a crepe and shove him up your coach's Ass.

That Canadian cemetray is a trip, huh? Ask Eric about it- he wrote his PhD on the Canadian raid on Dieppe, and told us all about it, how they dropped like 5,000 Canucks on the beach and only 5 made it to the objective (some church in the city center).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I hope you have a great day and that your housing problems are resolved in time for this weekend games.
We love and miss you lots! Thanks for the call. Mom
