Nicoise Druggie Jason, Britney Speares shrugs me off

The crytalline blue water strikes against the rocky shores, and people sizzle underneath the Mediterranean sun. Calming breezes blow in from across the sea, carrying hints of the salty deserts of Africa. At least I'd imagine that they're salty, maybe rocky flavored?

My first and only night in Nice, I was stopped by cops while sitting and enjoying ocean breezes. Now, I've asked a few of you what impression you had of me when you first met me, and this is why. Do I look like druggie?! Patted down, questioned, and stared over!!! Crazy fools.

This brings me to my point, is it illegal to be alone? I see couples and everything sitting contentedly and wonder why the law found fault with my time without an arm around someone else. They moved on to search some boys a little further off, which you cqn kind of see from the picture. My relaxing dinner of fried and stuffed Nicoise delicacies (not super impressed actually) was put to an end. I walked back home, getting lost in the dark brightly lit streets of nighttime Nice.

The previous night I was happy with my bottle of Italian wine swimming in my belly, and I actually felt a little lonesome in my cabin since no one else got in at Rome. In Florence I was joined by two Indians that tried to tell me I wasn't supposed to be in the cabin (misunderstanding only). I was not pleased to have the guy snore loudly throughout the night, and then in the morning they opened the blinds to the hallway so that I woke to their talking as if I wasn't there, followed by lifting my head a bit and seeing people pass by in the hall and stare at my assumedly monkeylike face in my train cage.

I dropped off luggage at the hostel and wandered the great little old part of town. It was hot so I went to a cafe for some espresso to pass the day. There I saw a Britney Speares look alike waitress. I looked of course, but she gave me this snobby shrug off as if I were admiring. Little did she know that I'm into the Britney look, so I decided to let her think I was enjoying my view, rather than let her in on the secret that it was kinda disgusted. Sorry to all you Britney fans, I know how many of my friends really love her ;)

I didn't spend any time baking today because I will have to check out in the morning and have the whole day to even out my tan. I really like the look and feel of Nice naturally, but I wonder if my treatment and experience has turned my opinion. It really hasn't, but I just like that I've been taken for a drug salesperson. (Might I add I was clean shaven so maybe I need to fatten up or something). Anyways, I'm open to any and all suggestions to not look druggy-like.

I've been responding to your comments if you haven't seen. Thanks for reading, and hope you enjoy the pix so far.
