(overheard in an apartment in Marseille)
One of us: You know that thing, like a marathon but with swimming?
The other of us: You mean, a triathalon?
One: No, not with running or biking.
Other: So, just swimming?
One: Yeah, that is it!
Other: So, you mean a swimming competition, which is pretty much nothing like a marathon, huh?
One: Yep.
One of us wants to do the Monte Cristo Challenge- swim from the Chateau d'If to the coast of Marseille, 5 km in the ocean. The other one of us thinks one of us is nuts.

Oh, BTW, did you ever find your hand scrub?
Haven't found it yet, but am still looking. And yes, you can guess, but if you don't get it on the first try, and then you haven't been reading this blog.
