It was just so beautiful this morning we knew we had to do something special. So, after getting in some groceries, we took the train (running on schedule today) over to Cap Martin for a day of sun.
I actually got too much sun, but I’ll be okay!
This was just a glorious day here. It was 22 and sunny with some light puffy clouds. It was VERY windy, and the sea was choppy, but I actually prefer it that way – the wind keeps you cool in the heat of the sun.
After getting off the train, we stopped into a bakery that we know that won the “best croissant in the Alpes-Maratimes” contest several years in a row. We purchased a couple of them for eating right away (and the title is deservedly so – light, buttery, slightly sweet, crispy and flakey all at the same time). They are NOT the ones featured in yesterday’s blog. We then set out on foot for the cap, which runs due south from the bakery.
It was funny, but in some ways I felt a little like a senior. We just walked the path a bit, stopped and sat on a bench for some sun, then walked a bit further and did it again. I guess its just mastering the art of doing nothing. It sure feels good – especially in such a breath taking place.
After returning home for some refreshment and a light lunch, I decided to spend the afternoon having a nap, followed by an exhausting round of crosswords out on the patio.
To top off such a decadent day, we went into town and had nothing but frites for our supper (the best ones we know of, anywhere!) followed by a promenade home on the boulevard de Garvan (fantasizing about which Villa we’re going to buy).
I’m pleased to report that Paul had no complaints about his neck (so no vertigo attack – phew).
It’s May day tomorrow. Paul and I expected that the town would be packed this week end – but so far – if anything – the town seems almost abandoned! The big 1er du Mai brocante is tomorrow, so bring you wallet and come with us!
