Bienvenue au Cote d'Azur

Welcome to the Cote d'Azur, aka French Riviera!

We had a pretty long travel day yesterday that began with a 6am Large Marge car ride in Taormina and ended when we pulled into the condo in Mougins around 6pm. In between, a train, a bus, and two planes with stops in Catania, Rome, and Toulon. It all went smoothly and was well worth it!

Mougins is about 15 miles north of Cannes and the condo is great. Today was overcast and drizzly so we decided to take a ride along the spectacular coast, through Cannes to Antibes and then on to Nice. The vistas are gorgeous and everything is so luxurious! Our only disappointment is that it will be impossible to capture it all on film. Towering palm trees, belles hotels complete with wrought iron balconies on every room, water of the bluest blue, picturesque hill towns nearby and the Alps in the distance. Everyone here must feel like a starlet. It will be so fun to just drive around and soak it all in for the next few days!
