The rest of the trip was awesome though. We drove out to stay with his
cousins in the country and they were the greatest family you could ever
hope to meet. They live in an old victorian house in the country, and the
kids (age 10, 11, 14) were well-adjusted, smart and adorable and fun, and
we spent all our time going sailing and swimming and waterskiing with them
(they had a trampoline in their backyard too!). At night we played
hide-and-seek with flashlights in the dark, and then hung out and drank
wine with their parents. They're not rich or anything -- Charles is a
mechanic, and Diane works in a bank, but they really have it together, you
know?
The daughter, Katie, age 11, has a sign on her door that says: " I
hate.... Nike, meat, slaughterhouses, the French.." I took a picture of
it. It is so cool.
