Some more discoveries, this time from Etsy. A little research on ElasticCo, from whom i bought the beautiful flower hat. This was an interesting discovery following my Adieu Madonna entry – i must say, i’d rather wear elasticCo’s stuffed accessories and become a living sculpture than having my body modified by surgery :
“… Elodie makes accessories which change the body and challenge our idea of beauty. These accessories create a way of transforming oneself through more than clothes, of finding a different way of expressing beauty. Layers of cotton are strapped to the body to form extra padding on the hips and stomach, areas which women often try to hide. Large cotton pads are attached directly to a bra, whilst smaller pads can be tied around the stomach and back and even under arms. This is a tongue-in cheek comment on the fashion for breast implants and surgical enhancement. Gloves, which have long black nails, may at first seem impractical, but one can easily take them off. …”

Our third day in corsica was devoted to nature walking, which sounded good to me since i had enough of sitting in the car, mountain viewing, and feeling both car and mountain sick.
Here you’ve got a picture of Chris, who was much faster than I at climbing, and clearly enjoying this nature walk MUCH more than i did. I wish this did not happenened to me, but as far as i understood, it is at that moment that i realized after being in this world for 32 years that my body cant stand being higher than 1000 feet. What i thought was car sickness turned out to be my body telling me that this was way too high for me. So i gave up, waited with my dizziness in the middle of nowhere for Chris to climb a little higher so he could get back with a feeling of satisfaction. Scary.
later time for a beer, the local Petra.
Ending the day with somethign which better fits me, a candle light dinner in Bastia’s port.
I will continue posting pictures about our trip in the following days, you can see the full picture album here. Chris is also posting some pictures over here.

We’ve been wadering around Nice, Cannes, Antibe and Monaco, from the sea to our hilltop appartement in Haut de cagnes for the first 5 days. Haut de Cagnes was a beautiful spot, a french village filled with hidden places to discover.
We then wrapped up, ready for 6 hours on the ferry to Bastia, in the north of Corsica. I’ve spent most of my time sitting outside of the ferry, with the wind, watching people, and the sea.
Who are they, what are they thinking about, where are they going – i could watch people for hours, trying to figure out which secrets they are keeping, their minds wandering in the sea.
We reached Corsica at around 20h in the evening. Sadly, i did not fulfill one of my dearest dreams to see dolphins or whales freely diving in the blue sea.
I will continue posting pictures about our trip in the following days, you can see the full picture album here. Chris is also posting some pictures over here.

I haven’t written on M-C’s blog for a while… I now have a gorgeous 5 months old daughter and therefore I have been a bit busy posting photos on Facebook and changing diapers. Maybe I’ll find a way to post a photo to you soon but for now – I have another amazing thing to say to you and that is that we finally have Audiogram’s catalogue on Bluetracks.ca! It was not an easy thing to do. Since early 2004, we have been patiently waiting for them to come around and accept to take the plunge and join our Independent and DRM-free MP3 online music store… very radical! So it’s done!
