Today, we arrived in the South of France…totally different vibe than Italy. Very laid back, easy going and celebrating the “art of life.”
Today we are heading to Eze….a very quaint medieval town high on a hill and then Nice for lunch.
Our guide wanted us to try local cuisine….it was very good. We did substitute the sardines for marinated pepperoncini. And, I’m not an olive person so I didn’t care for the tapenade. Of course, my carb loving daughter chowed down on the baguette.
Flowers are a very big deal here…..our guide told use to try the ice cream and we couldn’t get plain old chocolate or vanilla! Taryn had rose and I had violet. Made with real flowers, it was very fragrant and delicious.
We could not go to Monaco and Monte Carlo since the Grand Prix was happening and the roads were closed. We went to St Paul de Vence and it was just lovely. Many famous painters lived here because of the amazing light. I can see why……they paid their rent with their paintings to this area has some VERY expensive works of art, that were worth little while the painters were alive, but became priceless after they died.
Tonight, Stampin’ Up! took us to a show called Burn the Floor, very Dancing with the Stars. The performers were awesome. It’s also a bittersweet night for us….Taryn was missing her high school graduation. It was sad to think of all her friends….graduating without her. But, we are on an amazing trip, so we aren’t too very sad.
