The last day of Nice has finally come. After a month of sunshine, Med. sea, baguettes, brie, rolling hilltop towns, very cheap and good wine, we are heading to Paris for 2 nights and then back to lalaland. In the last two days we have visited the Chagall and Matisse museums which are close to our apartment. The boys both lived in Nice, so we felt it was appropriate to pay homage to their great works. I decided to leave my wallet with all my cards and money on the street by the Chagall museum. Two girls recognized me when we were parking the car, and went through the museum with my wallet looking for me to return it. Lucky, n'est ce pas? Joey left his really good camera in San Remo, and as we were leaving, realized it was at the beachfront cafe. His camera was returned to him as well, so Joey and I win the awards for bigtime losers.

Yesterday we spent the day at the seaside at Villefranche Sur Mer. The water and weather were both perfect and it was hard to leave. We came home, packed and tidied up, and went for a crepe dinner at a funky yesterday in downtown Nice. We found Brasserie Flo, a restaurant we had been looking for but decided it was crepe time in France. Good choice.

Tonight we will pay homage to the Eiffel Tower and get Marlisse off to Vancouver for the next morning, after 6.5 months in Europe. We feel very lucky to have spent a month here in the Riviera, and it has been a wonderful first visit to Europe for Joey. 

The kids are looking forward to comfortable beds and we are looking forward to salad and water products. We have all agreed that we could live in Europe, especially in the Riviera.

Au revoir, a bientot, bon nuit, bon soir or bon matin for whatever time zone you are reading this in.

Amour,

Patty, Les, Marlisse and Joey
