From the Cote D Azur














We have had three great days stationed in Nice at a funky little hotel with two friendly house cats, Blanche and Max. In my photos you will see the court yard, look closely in the upper right, on top of the one room is the Blues Brothers dancing above the square and another has a tin cat walking in the gutter. Our room is an eclectic mix of Mediterranean, sea villa and antique. We have enjoyed the satellite TV with new from home (CNN) and full access to the internet.
From our location in Nice we have made day trips to Monaco and Cannes. Monty Carlo is a city of wealth, even the rail station is clean with the passengers comfort in mind. Reminders of the late Princes Grace are everywhere. We climbed up to the castle in time to see the changing of the guard. The views of the harbor below are spectacular.
We even took a quick dip in the Mediterranean which was cold but refreshing. The water is a color unique to this part of the world. Mediterranean blue is special and unlike any other body of water we have seen in our travels.

Hey Mr T.
It has been a dream trip but our count down to home is on. Will miss the experience and the time spent with you and Jes.
