Corse of course

Ok well lets see......it has been two weeks since I have seen the internet or a phone that I am able to call people on. I have been having so much fun. This last two weeks we were in Corsica. Let me tell you, I have never felt so remote as I did when I was there. We were not in a town at all. If we did go into town there was a few shops and that was it. The first week we spent in the south of Corsica in a little house with two rooms. I got the couch in the living room, which was interesting because no matter where you slept in that house, there was no way that you were sleeping through the 6 am alarm that was Louis. No matter what time that kid went to bed, he would wake up at 6:00. Along with that he was not taking naps, so you get the picture. The house was gated and it had a beautiful terrasse. We spent most of the weeks going to remote beaches that you had to either hike or take the most bumpiest road to get to. It was the coolest thing that I have ever experienced. The landscape seemed to be untouched and ready to explore. There was old roman ruins and little huts, cobble streets all over, even sometimes hidden in the mountains. Along with enjoying the beaches, the only thing that was a bummmer was the misquitoes. They were awful to me! I have over more than 23 bites all over my body. We also had some ant problems in the first house but for the most part, it was very relaxing and an enjoyable time. The second week we stayed in a huge house with a big swimming pool. We shared this house with friends of their family from the Swiss German part of Switzerland. They also had two kids: a girl and a young boy both that were around the same age of Louis and Alex. It was nice to have so much room to move around. That week we also spent a lot of time at the beach, exploring waterfalls and we also hike up this mountain to see a beautiful lake that was freezing cold. It was a lot of fun. The one thing though that was the most enjoyable was I was able to go Scuba Diving for the first time in my life. I had told Corinne that I really wanted to do that some day and she offered to have me go as a present for my birthday. Although the whole experience was in French, I had the best instructor and I loved it. It was so much fun that I hope I can go again and learn more. Overall it was a great time and I appreciated everything they did for me. As of right now I am working full time this week while the kids are out of school. So tons of park times and days at the lake. Oh and for all of those nay sayers that Christina is an Albino, I am actually brown.......I know hard to imagine. Well signing off for now! Till then!
