Summer Heat

I was complaining about the fact that this summer was not exactly hot enough. Well I take that back now. I was recently in the south of France (Pau) and the heat was unbearable. It is a lovely town lots of nice views and things. I sang with the gospel group Voices of Praise. It was interesting for us to sing over there. The people were real nice and all. It was the last time that we played with the pianist Camelia. She just got signed to play and arrange for a musical here in Paris. She's real excited by that imagine a real contract.

After all that unbearable heat I decided to go down to Biarritz and Anglet-> the beach!!!! Well that was really nice. But, the water is definitely not for beginners I mean whoa!! The waves are sooo strong that if you are not familiar with these kinds of waves forget about it. It can be really dangerous. I was only about 2 feet into the water when the wave knocked me over. While I was trying to get up it knocked me over the other way and just when I thought I was safe.... Well I was knocked over again. This time face in sand no time to think just go. I still enjoyed myself though it's really the sound of the ocean that I need to hear. So, of course it was a trip worth taking. However, I did this last minute so finding a hotel room. Well you can just forget that too. My God I had luck that someone didn't show up for their room. I waited and then I had the cash in my hand. I paid for the room and slept rather well. It was cool.
