SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY!  It's France, BABY!  Whew, what a trip getting here.  We started yesterday (Saturday, it comes before Sunday, remember?) in Munich, and after changing trains four different times (and riding through country after country hoping that one would give us "most favored nation status") we finally were accepted like all deposed dictators - IN FRANCE!  We're in Lyon (pronouned "Lee-on," like that kid from 7th grade that was really good at basketball - too bad about his drug and firearm issues) and it gets even better!

First off, you gotta know that the real problem with France is that most of the people here are French.  BUT NOT ALL OF THEM!  As it turns out we not staying in hotel, we're not staying in hostel and we're not staying as a "guest" of law enforcement.  We're staying with our friend from Pasadena, California - CECI! and her VERY French boyfriend, Stephan (who doesn't like being called "Steve-o" by the way!).  We've known Ceci since...ah.....er....ah....okay, she was Hooters Girl! (NOT KIDDING!).  Look, it's a long complex story but she worked her way through college in Pasadena getting some weird-ass degree (in Russian Torture or Home Economics or something like that), during last year's 2007 Riding4Beer American Tour we stayed with her mom and purported dad in San Antonio, Texas and now we're crashing at her and "Stevie's" apartment in Lyon, France!

Okay, for those of you without your GED's, lets review the situation here.  We're circling the world sponsored by Budweiser (The "King of Beers!"), we're partying in France and staying with a Hooters Girl!  Yep, our life SUCKS, how about yours?  Folks, we may not be the smartest apples in the barrel, but this business plan that we scratched out on the back of a IHOP napkin seems to be working allot better than the one that bank in Pasadena used!  FRANCE, BABY! Just sayin...
