(I decided to post a few pictures from my trip to France with Lisa and Ashley from May 2005).

This picture was taken on the beach of the Mediterranean Sea in Spain. We visited Spain for a day, eating at a pizza place and then spending a few hours at the beach. A couple funny things--one hysterical thing--happened on this beach. We watched a diverse group of 10-15 teenage guys play soccer. There were Spanish, English and German boys all playing together. It was great to watch because they kept trying to show off for us. Also, Ashley who knows a lot of German, was translating what the German guys were yelling. However, most of it turned out to be profanity, which was pretty comical hearing it in another language and having it translated. But anyway--

Next, imagine yourself laying on your stomach in the sand facing this umbrella thing. Lisa and I were doing just that. Laying there and chatting about different things. To the left of the umbrella was a couple. The man, was older, generously plump and laying on his stomach. The woman was sitting, reading her magazine. All of the sudden we heard a "plllllpp!" Yes, that's exactly right..the old man farted. Immediately, Lisa burst out laughing, having no time to try and stop herself. Of course, this outbreak caused me to start laughing as well. The woman looked at us and while chuckling as well, turned to her husband and said something to this effect, "That was loud enough for those ladies over there to hear that. And they're laughing at you." We were only about 20 ft away from them, so obviously they're going to hear us laughing. The man lifted his head a bit, spied us out of the corner of his eye, then laid back down and started laughing. Lisa and I laughed for a good 10 minutes solid. We would stop laughing, then look at each other and crack up! It was UNbelievable!!
