YAWN!

So we have been here officially for a week now. As I said in yesterday’s blog – time seems to move a bit slower here on the Riviera, but never-the-less, hard to believe that a week has come and gone!

That being said, I do believe that its time to start expanding our horizons here a bit. I mean, how many days can you just laze around on a patio with warm, sunny skies, a gentle breeze and read and eat good food? Sheesh – we’re far from super-do-nothing sort of guys.

I don’t know if it will happen or not, but I’m goading Paul into going to Antibes tomorrow (about a 1 hr train ride from here – no transfers). Antibes is the former Greek colony of Antipolis and has a nice marina, walled city, Napoleonic era fortress, and lots of good shopping and more. If we do it, great. If not, so be it.

I’m really getting the hang of my new camera. One of the things that I didn’t think about when I set my budget for it was the fact that I won’t be paying film or processing fees in the future. I love the flexibility of snapping as many photos (and reviewing them on the spot) as I like and not have to worry about processing. I’m only posting and facebooking a fraction of what I’m snapping. I also find it a pleasant way to spend the evening; downloading them onto my laptop and editing them.

Today was supposed to be raining in the morning, and although we awoke to clouds, before 10:30am they were gone and we had ANOTHER day of pure sunshine but high winds. The waves continue to pound the shore and rumble like thunder, the high was just 19 today.
