I can tell you straight up that I did not hear the alarm clock this morning. Paul claims that he did (but he never got up to put the coffee on), so I guess I’m sleeping so soundly that even the annoying ring of the travel alarm clock isn’t doing its job!
Luca actually showed up at 8am this morning. I was still in my robe, but I figured I’m on holidays, so what do I care? He showed up with an electrician. When they left, everything was working fine – for five minutes. Then the dishwasher tripped the breaker again. Paul and I took it upon ourselves to play with breakers ourselves, and we’ve sort of figured out that you have to shut the breaker off for the rolling blinds to make sure that the breaker for the dishwasher doesn’t trip when it’s running. I actually think the electrical in here is pretty screwed up due to other small problems that we’ve been having – but I don’t own the place so they’re not my problem.
In a word, today was GORGEOUS! We headed into town (as commented in my video – it’s a little quiet here this season, but that’s how we like it) for the first part of the morning, just to see what was going on. One of the buildings in the main square is having some scaffolding put up, so it looks like some work is going to start there soon, so that’s about it on the excitement level. We just did some grocery shopping after that and then spent the afternoon up on the rooftop enjoying the sun and the pool.
We’re thinking of going to Ventimiglia on Friday (YIKES!) and I’d like to do a bit more by train, such as see the Renoir museum & the Grimaldi chateau in Cagnes-sur-mer, or perhaps go back up to Grasse (the perfume capitol of France), but we’ll see. I have to admit that it’s nice to do what we want, when we want. Sometimes you just don’t want to leave the pool side….
