Nice, France et au revoir

Finally, someone had the courage to come visit us. Kathy’s sister, Diane, and her husband, Darrell, have spent the past four days with us visiting Marseille, Avignon, Cassis and Nice—one day in each city, getting the flavor of southern France—and then back to Marseille each evening. We joined them for their one-day visit to Nice, which was a 2.5-hour train ride each way. It was a very warm day in Nice, so lots of people down at the beach, some of whom forgot their tops at home. We took several dozen photos but decided to bore you with only a few.

Tomorrow we are off on our first true European vacation—with Diane and Darrell. We are heading to Italy for a week with short stays in Rome, Florence and Venice. It will likely be two weeks before you hear from us with another blog. We missed one weekend several weeks ago, and some were concerned that something had happened to us—so we are letting you know now: No blog next week!

We hope everyone is doing well back in the states. It is nice to not hear too much about the stock market and that we are now going to have to work for another 5 years. As well, it is nice to NOT have to endure all of the political campaign commercials—we feel for you—but you only one more week to suffer.

Our best wishes to you all.

Garry and Kathy.
