Dear Readers of "The Travelin' Fool,"
Please excuse my son, Brian, from posting a blog today. He's not feeling very well due to partaking in a little bit too much wine last night. He's slowly recovering at the HI hostel in Lyon, France and is finally getting some food back into his stomach again. He'll be back on his blog in a few days when he reaches Paris. And he's promised me he's learned his lesson about wine. Poor boy thinks he can handle a full bottle when his scrawny body just can't take the abuse. I thought he would have learned his lesson a few years ago in Italy (boy, what a disaster that was!), but you know how kids are. I did the best I could on raising the child, but there's only so much a poor mother can do. He's got to figure things out on his own now. He's a smart kid, but sometimes, I just don't know what's going on in that crazy head of his.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Martin

hahaha. poor brian -- when will he ever learn *sigh*
mr. and mrs. stecklow say hello and they pray for your well-being and a safe trip back across the pond. :)
I hope you feel better soon--that French wine can be pretty lethal for our untested American palates. But I'm sure you'll be having more Euro adventures in no time, and I can't wait read more!
what happens in Paris...just learn to slowly build that alcohol resistance so you can down em all day at those cafes.
great posts, SO happy you made it for the Tour de France...so jealous!
Thanks for all your words of sympathy. And boy, have I learned my lesson about pushing myself too far. Because of your kindness, I'll give you all a toast tonight when I'm getting hammered off of cheap beer here in Budapest.
