which means that so far we are just enjoying being here and rushing NOWHERE-what a huge treat that is! However, that will change! Yesterday we drove from along the Esterel Gap (Frommer gives it 3 stars) spectacular views of the Massif (dictionary defines as clump of trees). This goes from Frejus to Cannes, although we headed back on the coast from La Napoule to Boulouris; think Pacific Highway in CA driving down the coast to Monterey Peninsula or Colorado Rocky Mountains, only one lane each way with bikers and scooters to make it fun! We didn't look down much! We saw some of those spectacular yachts reported to be to the French Riviera.
Last night we met Elisabeth's delightful next door neighbors, who arrived yesterday from their home in Torin/Turino, Italy for the rest of the month. They were kind enough to invite us to use their pool, which we did this afternoon, and tonight we are going for dinner. They are Anna, Bruno, and their 15 year old son Andrei who has a 2 handicap! They have a ton of company coming tomorrow for 10 days, including 2 doctors who studied in Boston, and it sounds like we'll be meeting them next week.
Tomorow we head off for two nights each in Arles and Avignon; both places have plenty to see so we'll have to pick and choose. I've made a few dinner reservations, so if you think I've given up my foodie reports, guess again! And, of course, tonight's dinner will be a real treat! Sorry we haven't had more pictures, but maybe we can download some in Arles or Avignon. Otherwise, we'll add some when we get home!

C'est bon!!! Glad you're having a great time. And I was glad to catch up with your pre-travel adventures, too. Sorry about the taxi cab accident, but glad you're both fine.
ReplyDeleteAh, the beach ... rocky or not, I'm envious. I did get to the beach in Georgia though on Tybee Island, and was pleasantly surprised as there were no high rises or gated communities to accompany the sand and surf of this funky little island. Was especially enamored with Savannah as I anticipated I'd be. The others places were nice, too, but the charm and ambience of Savannah was a show stopper for me. Wedding parties were fun!
Keep the travel log coming. It's fun to read. I'm off to the Western Slope on Thursday ... back a week from today.
