This is probably the most important race in the city, as it is between someone actually on the left (Carlino) and a landlord/house-flipper masquerading as a progressive so she can protect her landlord money (Savage)

Am I back to upstanding citizen? Or am I a SUPER DUPER terrorist?

Now just don’t let the FBI see or they might label me a terrorist 🫠

It was so much fun, and our kiddo even got to fight in an arena (with foam swords)

Erin & I watched the sunrise over the Mediterranean, then caught a 10-hour flight stateside.
Now to start what we're jokingly calling our "Half-Moon." We'll be working from the road for a few weeks, traveling w/ our son for his summer break, visiting friends and family.

@erininthemorning.com & I spent the last full day of our honeymoon in love & bliss.
We got a couple's massage in the morning, napped, read, then visited Nice for a stroll. Then we closed off the night w/ dinner on a cliff face as fireworks went off over the Mediterranean.

This was the quietest day yet. We went to a beach club & relaxed all day. Erin read her book (Stormlight Archives), and I "tanned" (an impossibly difficult task for my marshmallow self).
We swam in the ocean a bit too, following around fish. Then, a quiet rooftop dinner.

We drove from Cassis to Cannes, where we swam at a beach for a few hours before exploring town and grabbing the Frenchest dinner ever—escargot, fatty oysters, & dover sole.
Also, Erin finally gave up on France's lack of spicy food and brought her own hot sauce to dinner 😅

Today we hiked the calanques outside of Cassis, and omg that was the coolest experiences ever.
A deeply challenging hike up & over some very Arizona/SoCal-type terrain, which led us to a deep inlet on the Mediterranean.
We swam, tanned, and dove with some little fish 🐟

Arles: from Ligurians to Phoenicians to Greeks to the Romans to French, the city was steeped in so much history. Erin & I spend the day walking between Roman & medieval architecture, exploring paths that monks & Vincent Van Gogh shared.
We easily could've spent a week here

We continued south for a day trip to Marseille. From amazing museums to the old port to the young French queers shouting "Free Palestine" with me—I fell in love w/ Marseille!
Afterward, we settled into our hotel near Cassis, ate food, and prepped for tomorrow's adventures.

And a fun little Zooey fact is that back in college, cliff jumping (& bridge jumping) was how I conquered my fear of heights 😤

We rented a paddle boat & took it into the river at the Gorges du Verdon.
The canyon was stunning, and there were cliffs to jump from! Erin & I swam/ jumped for hours. It was so fun! 😭
That evening, we walked Moustiers-Saint-Marie and had dinner overlooking a waterfall.

Off to a new Provence! We left Briancion & headed towards Provence-Alpes-Côte-D'Azur.
We drove through the beautiful Route des Grande Alpes, and then through the equally beautiful (though terrifying) Col d'Allos.
Now to spend the next couple days in the Gorges du Verdon 🥰

Our planned "quiet day" quickly turned to adventure.
We did some exploring of Briançon's inner city, then went to the Parc Ecrins for an 8km hike to an Alpine Lake.
Then we ended the night at a beautiful little restaurant where we chatted with the owner (in French, yay!)

So he had us doing some wild turns & loop-dee-loops. It was my favorite part 😭
@erininthemorning.com are already talking about when we can go again.

We said goodbye to Annecy today & what a goodbye it was! Paragliding over the lake that we spent the last week exploring.
Afterwards, we grabbed lunch in Grenoble with some folks from a trans org. Then took the scenic route to Briancon, where leg 3 of our honeymoon begins.

We drove to Chamonix for the day, where we went to the top of Mont Blanc, stood in a glass box on top of the world, and even hiked some trails.
The views were absolutely stunning, though it was a little surreal hiking where there is no risk of running into a bear. 😅

Paragliding was cancelled due to weather, so we wound up w/ another quiet day, which turned out to be a gift.
We got a couple's massage, took a much overdue nap, then did some shopping in Annecy before drinks and dinner.
I also had my first full-speed French conversations!

- Took a wildly difficult bike trip out to the Gorges du Fier. But the views of the slot canyon were easily worth the pain.
- Dinner at La Table du Yoann Conte (⭐️⭐️ Michelin). The food & presentation were enthralling (almost ritualistic), and the sommelier was unparalleled.
