My little corner of the World Wide Web: A week later…

I can’t believe that we have been here a week all ready!

I know, I know, boo hoo – the holidays are ticking away, but time sure does seem short sometimes, doesn’t it? I can remember when we booked our airfare (which I believe was last year) and the time between then and the actual trip seemed really long and just dragged by… then the last week before we left raced by, as well as the first week here.

“Not another sunny day!” I moaned mockingly as I raised the shutters on the apartment this morning. As we sat enjoying our first cup of coffee for the day, we decided to take the train to Roquebrun Cap Martin and do the Le Corbusier walk all the way around from the west side of the cap, around the tip and then along where we walked yesterday.

It was a wonderful experience, and kind of ethereal, too. As we left the station to head east, we saw a para-glider silently sailing through the skies over the bay. Then, suddenly, from off the sea, a cloud of fog literally “rolled in” on top of us. It was moving so quickly you could see it passing in front of your eyes! It was weird to see it roll IN and then work its way up the mountains. Suddenly, as quickly as it came, it disappeared. It was a terrific experience!

Thankfully, by the end of the journey we went to Madam’s patisserie and she HAD her prize-winning croissants, which we greedily ate washed down with a cup of her superb coffee. We couldn’t resist – and ended up having a pain au raisin as well, before walking into town to take the train back to Garavan.

Tomorrow is my Birthday. I am very lucky and very blessed to be in such a beautiful place to celebrate it. The weatherman is calling for good weather, lets hope he’s right!
