Jump!
We're in Nice today to visit the Christmas lights. This is my fabulous friend, Emmanuelle, jumping in front of a replica of what was once Nice's crystal casino - a pier, built over the sea and finished in 1891. The pier was closed in 1942 and stripped of its valuable metals, copper, brass, bronze and electric wiring, to be used by the German army.

Memories of a great birthday lunch on Rue Saint Francois in Nice in October. This delicious dish is "Rigatoni La Voglia" at La Voglia.
Thank you again to Sylvie, Emma and Guillaume and Patrick and his beautiful 4L. How lucky I am to have such wonderful friends.

Monaco from the Bateau Bus
A fun way to see Monaco is on the Bateau Bus - the solar powered electric ferry that crosses the harbour and all it costs is 1.50 euros. An easy and cheap way to pretend you own a super yacht!
On the day I took this (end of June) - you can see ominous clouds hung low over the la Tete du Chien (Head of the Dog) with only pinponts of sunlight on the buildings.
