I swam yesterday in the Ardesche River here in France and I swam against the current. It was really fun. I also went over some rapids. My dad and I got out of the water and then Daddy and I skipped rocks. Daddy was teaching me how to skip rocks.
Then we went to a cool restaurant that had a patio. It was even bigger than Rick's pergola.
Later we watched Germany lose to Italy by one goal.

New Foods
June 29
I have tried lots of new foods. I decided to start trying different foods because we are going to be living on a boat. I tried Fish and Chips when we were in Dover and I really like them. I also tried peas and honey there but the man running the restaurant had never heard of that. He said that British people don't eat their peas that way. I also tried pastrami in New York.

In which Max arrives in England...
June 24
It is fun here in England. The morning was a little disappointing because I got up so early so I could eat Eggs Benedict one more time at the restaurant but it wasn't available.
We are sitting in a pub drinking a pint. I am having water and Mommy and Daddy are having beer.

Thursday at Sea
June 21
We are still at sea (Thursday). We are getting closer and closer to England. Doesn't that sound exciting? And I just played in a golf tournament. Daddy played too, but we didn't win. My friend Sar beat me 5-6. My dad keeps getting second in competitions.
We are just finishing lunch and then we are going swimming. Sar and I are going to swim laps. I am going to beat him.

Just before the fancy restaurant
June 20
We are just about to go to the fancy restaurant. I am going to wear a suit and a tie. I will attach a picture of myself in the suit once Mommy figures out how to do it.
If I am still hungry after the fancy restaurant we will go the buffet at the King's Court (note several days afterwards: I wasn't).
Right now we are in our room and Daddy is watching the news.
We finished reading Dinosaur Habitat, one of my books. The main characters are Nathan and Ryan, who are brothers. They get stuck in the dinosaur world of Ryan's terrarium.

On Board the Queen Mary 2
June 20
It's fun being on the Queen Mary 2. Tonight we are going to a fancy restaurant. Daddy and I were there for lunch yesterday (Tuesday), and I tried the Duck Liver Pate. I didn't really like it, though. I liked the liver but I didn't like the raspberry that was with it.
The boat is really big. It has lots of restaurants--the Princess Grill, the King's Court, the Queen's Grill, etc. We've been going to the King's Court almost every day. The chefs are really good. Last night they had a special of Pasta Primavera.
The people on the boat are very nice, both the people who work on the boat and the passengers.
Yesterday England played Ukraine in soccer but Ukraine lost. Everybody was rooting for England except for Mommy, Daddy, and me.

First Entry
June 14
I wonder what Portugal will be like. I hope it will be cool. We are moving there because my dad has always wanted to live on a sailboat when he retires. In the Mediterranean. Portugal really isn't on the Mediterranean, but it's close enough. It has a good school for me. It will be fun; I just know it!
Since we left Natchitoches we've just been driving. There's only one thing I'm nervous about: swimming with a Great White Shark in the sea!
We are leaving New York on Sunday on the Queen Mary 2, so I will write more from there!
