Today Mechanical Pinckney Hugo Pencil visited Nice, France which certainly lived up to it’s name. Then Mechanical Pinckney Hugo Pencil stopped for coffee and cheese (don’t judge him) for lunch at a little sidewalk cafe. Then Mechanical Pinckney Hugo Pencil enjoyed a delicious granita and shopped for art in the picturesque port town of Villefranche before getting back on the ship. There Mechanical Pinckney Hugo Pencil’s fears of the NSA reading his (even unsent) email were confirmed when he saw that in response to his amazing tales of traveling the Mediterranean the American government had decided it too would be going on vacation. Then Mechanical Pinckney Hugo Pencil ate panna cotta for dessert. Then Mechanical Pinckney Hugo Pencil finally got his shit together and set up wifi that he doesn’t really want to use or pay for but peer pressure.
This part seems a little silly at this point but tradition dictates that he’ll see you tomorrow/today/Friday/three days ago/chicken/fire truck/purple!
