"On my way to the airport in Marsailles I began having extreme pains and to make a long story short and painless-I am in the hospital in Marsailles still. I don't have internet other than my phone(email, facebook). This post is coming to you via my sister back in the states. I just hope she doesn't add much. I never intended this blog to become the kind that was personal in nature, so obviously until i get out of the hospital in France all other talk will be less. I'm attaching a picture to this email that is of the view from the hospital. I think it has a lot to say about this-frace's second largest city-founded by the Roman's-that remains one of the world's busiest ports. Also, Monday was my 21st birthday, it was slow, and very quiet.not what i would have expected.My condition is improving, but it still might be a few days before i'm well enough to fly. Enjoy the picture, and thanks for your thoughts and prayers.". -Via text message.
