A day in Paris !!!!

Of course it was raining- what else is new in Paris.  The people were out despite the weather.  Gallerie Lafayette was a bustle with people shopping and just admiring the food displayed.  I enjoyed the women with her dog at dinner - it reminds me of someone I know in Columbus.  Homeward bound in the morning.  It was a great trip . 

St Paul de Vence

This is my favorite perched medieval village.  Cute little shops are intertwined along winding ancient pathways.  The restaurant Colombe D'or is a great restaurant and the home of one of the Cesar's thumb sculptures.

Monaco

The beautiful country of Monaco is so amazingly clean.  It is also very accessible.  There were flowers and plants on the tombs of both Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier.   I think they were both loved a lot by many. 

Cap St Martin

This was an exciting trip to a restaurant that we had visited before- L'Hippocampe.  Across the street is the house that I would like to retire in .  It is so very cute and I am sure they would like me to buy it . 

Excitement was in the air in anticipation of the Monte Carlo Grand Prix

The people were flocking in for the Grand Prix that is to begin tomorrow.  Lots of fancy cars and fancy people to go with them.  The delivery car drivers that have been riding on our tails want their turn at the Grand Prix.  This looked like a great party.  

To Market to market.......

Today was quiet an experience at the Farmers Market in Beaulieu Sur Mer-  Everything looked wonderful and the prices were very reasonable.  Unfortunately my lack of French was very detrimental when shopping.  I think a little old woman was telling me in French that I was trying to buy things on the wrong side of the market.  Joe did his typical nodding like he knew exactly what she was saying.  Now if someone would just cook our dinner.   

The Cannes Festival

I was definitely in my element.  There were stars abound but I am either not reading People magazine enough or they are way too international for me to figure out who they were.  It was still lots of fun just being in all of the excitement.
