When Jean showed up today, he asked if i was hungry. that was no big surprise, because he asks that everyday. (mostly because he'd rather eat than do english.) but today was different because his parents wanted to take me to lunch. I said that would be awesome and so they came and picked us up at 1:00. it wasn't awesome.
the next 40 minutes were filled with prayers to god that he would spare my life. Jean's dad isn't the worst driver on this side of the mississippi, but he sure isn't good. and it sure didn't get better when he was cut off by a motorcyclist. we swerved in and out of traffic just so he could catch up and say some choice words to the fellow. (luckily i never learned those words, so i had no clue what he said to the guy. maybe it was a, "hey, sorry to bother you, but maybe next time would you be more considerate to your fellow motorists?" and he was just saying it loudly because of the noise. i'll give him the benefit of the doubt.) anyways, after the ordeal, and trying to keep my pants dry, i asked Jean where we were headed. Lunch didn't seem like an all day event and we had been driving for a while. he told me we were going to lunch with a look like, "duh, i already told you... can't you remember?" we finally arrived at this little shack of a place and sat down for lunch. we ha
d this noodle soup with all the magical creatures of the deep blue sea: clams, crab, shrimp, octopus, squid, seaweed, and there probably was some coral in there too. I don't know. I don't think that it was worth an hour there or hour back, but maybe they just enjoyed the drive or something...

(Jean is going to have the weirdest view of americans when i leave...) unfortunately, there weren't any dinosaurs, but there were really cool things, such as: broken pieces of clay, straw, sticks, a few bones, mannequins dressed in fu
r, and a few big maps that i couldn't read. it was sweet! you could go in one of the prehistoric huts and check it out, but no body was going in, so i tried to get a big group to go in with me. (you kind of had to crawl to get into the big room.) my efforts died in vain.
