Cannes, Cote D’Azur, France – beautiful, absolutely beautiful - the sea, the beaches, the Croisette (the promenade along the shore), the scenery, the sun, the architecture, the food, the shops (not all of which are exorbitant), the winding streets and alleys, the people. This morning Dale and I had a wonderful breakfast out on the sidewalk, then found our way to the 12th Century fortress and L”Eglise d’Esperance (The Church of Hope), which is in remarkable shape with many exquisite paintings and artifacts. The bells peal regularly and are heavenly.
At noon, we met Adam and Natalie down in the lobby since he and Dale had to work. They got to fly together on the CJ3 with Adam as Captain (Dale was delighted to be able to fly with him). Natalie and I decided to make the best of it, and did some marathon shopping (I was delighted to get some fashion advice). It’s amazing in this trendy tourist town, that there are bargains to be found by the very discerning. We had great fun, and after taking a break at the pool, headed out again, winding up our day with chocolate crepes for dinner. My idea of fun!
Love,
