#237..."that will be 80 euros, please..."

So after a time, the Family grew hungry, and decided to sit and have a small bite to eat.  They decided on four small, appetizer size pizzas and soda to split between the ten of them. They knew they would be eating on the Mothership again soon, and so did not want to overfill themselves. 

The small gourmet pizzas were simple but delicious- true to the french cuisine. They were sated, but by no means filled.  They sat and enjoyed each other's company and discussed the day's events.  The queen quietly smiled to herself when some of her menfolk described the horrors they discovered while wandering down to the "naturalist's" beach.  They were a bit discouraged to find it was not the virtual centerfold, as they expected, from Playboy. 

When they were finished, the menfolk paid the food bill of 80-some Euro dollars, which roughly translated to about $100 US dollars for a small slice of pizza and a glass of coke. 

.....Ah well, "Vive la France!", they chanted.

I was simply sun giddy the whole time! and worrying if we were going to make it back to the Mothership on time!!! That's me....the "sensible" one . No wonder I flunked art in high school!

Photos très gentilles cher Flora ! Les hommes peuvent être si drôles une fois confrontés à la nudité d'un autre homme ! Comment drôle ! Je me demande pourquoi ? Quoi qu'il en soit, merci pour partager ces images de vos vacances. Ok I'm probably butchering the language! I should've checked with Vivian first! LOL!:-)
