The Day After





Well, I don’t know about you, but the “Super Moon” or whatever it was supposed to be was a bit of a dud. Nothing overly eventful happened to me – except the weather changed to grey and dull. If that’s the net affect, you can keep the moon thingy.

Election day today here in France. Looks like Sarkosy’s going down in flames. He’s platforming on a “Strong France” policy, but it isn’t working. I though his main rival, a man by the last name of Hollande, was more conservative. Turns out he’s a socialist (which is not a dirty word here).

We took a morning promenade today, while the sun was still shining, and took in the views from the heights above the town. This afternoon I baked a cake (If I know you were coming I’d of baked a cake…. – do you recall the cookie monster singing that? No? Oh well…) and we had home made crepes for lunch with a simple green salad. I was going to do up a steak dinner tonight, but as we’ve sort of been held up in the apartment all afternoon, I’m giving in to my more base desires and we’re going to head into Vesuvio’s for pizza.

If the weather is better tomorrow, we think we might just head on into Nice for a portion of the day and check out the brocant and what’s happening there in general.

Stay tuned…

Today was mostly cloudy/overcast with a high of 21, but a gentle breeze made it seem cooler. (speaking of which, the building here has collective heat and it’s still on!)

Today’s photos:

What secret garden lies beyond the blue door?

Gorgeous bi coloured (pink and orange, I love it!) bougainvillea

A "vote Sarkosky" pamphlet left on a car windshield (note, according to the sticker in his window, his insurance has expired. Sounds like the same applies to Sarkosky)
