The weather has been so bad that the most terrible thing imaginable has occurred.
I'm talking even worse than the most heinous situation you could possibly conjure up.
We had to miss Villefranche and go to Marsaille instead. Now as we all know, the reason this is such a catastrophe is because this was the last time that I'd be able to have Rare Beef Noodle Soup and my favorite little restaurant - Chez Hein, since they close for the season in 2 days...
My life sucks..
On the flip side, instead of tasty soup, Bre, Claudia, Jamie Allen and Helen James went out for boring lukewarm sandwiches.
But I'll tell you, I haven't laughed so much in a long time. Jamie is quite a character on and off stage. His attitude is so matter-of-fact. "What's the big deal with ruins anyway? It's just a bunch of old, broken crap..."
We then wandered around for a while when we came across a carousel in a park. We kind of hummed and hawwed about it, when Jamie finally coerced us all to climb aboard. We managed to fit ourselves into one tea cup and once it started moving, Jamie began spinning us around. Helen was screaming her head off while Jamie and I laughed maniacally.
After reviewing the footage I took, I suggested that we put it up on the screens during her next show, as a demonstration of how she warms up her voice before a performance.
We made our way back to the ship, and I'm reminded that it's days like today that really make me love my life.
