Orange Alert !!!

8 September '05, Thursday.
Here we go again...It's raining, it's pouring, the "ole man" has been snoring... Well what else is there to do when the rain has set in with so much intensity? Louise just raised her head from reading her book, and speaking to the rain, "come on now... give it up"... We have had a few days like this overall, but it never has been an exciting event for us. Looking for the good of the moment...well, it is getting closer to bed time...4:30 in the afternoon. I guess when I look back on the earlier part of the day, we did get a load of clothes washed and dried, and Bob and Mary joined us for a walk to the grocery store. OK, I forgot to tell you about Bob and Mary... Last night Louise and I were sitting in the van. I was doing my journal and Louise was playing a game on her computer, when Bob came up to the door and made a statement like "so are you from the states ??? All I had to do was hear his voice and we knew that they were. Boy, talk about a couple of travelers...they make us look like beginners. Now for our first time, there are 3 couples from the states camping in the same campground...OB and Kris, Bob and Mary, and us...as strange as it sounds, it was great to have some Americans around us that are living the same dream...camping and enjoying themselves through Europe. We knew it was going to rain, so it was a quick walk. We have been listening to the radio (fortunately we have a good english speaking station in Monaco) and they have been telling us that we are going into another "ORANGE" alert...we're happy to hear that... As I look out the window now, the roadway around us is completely submerged and getting deeper by the second. Unfortunately there was a landslide on the major freeway just outside of Nice. It came down yesterday afternoon and has had the only road along the Riviera from France to Italy completely blocked. Even if we wanted to, we couldn't continue onward to Italy anyway. As I look out, I see a lot of empty camp spaces...it seems that those who wanted to head north got in their rigs and took off...I hope they have found sun. Oh yes, I do have some good news....I GOT MY BATTERY !!! It was stupid that I hadn't noticed it missing, but I'm not going into that now.. If you happen to come across a couple of oars, please send them this way. Tomorrow...hope for better weather so we can move on.
