Evi waits for morning coffee
Sunny and warm morning in Nice, along the Promenade des Anglais. OK so Evi and I flew from Basel to Nice on EasyJet, 100 Swiss Francs round trip per person ($75), a 50 minute flight (compared with 250 Francs and 8 hours by train). We went to visit Howie's high school friend, Terri Isaacman from Harrisburg, who lives with her husband Brian in a house in Trans-En-Provence, which serves also as a bed and breakfast, about 30 miles north of San Tropez.
The weather was pleasant and warm, around 21 degrees centigrade each day (70 Fahrenheit). We spent one day in Nice, had a bus tour to see the beautiful city, then met Terri and Brian at the world famous Hotel Negresco before driving one hour west to their home. We visited small and old towns, drove to the Gorge du Verdun, France's version of the Grand Canyon, and also San Tropez and San Maxime, along the Mediterranean coast. It was a great experience, and we had a fine time. Now Evi will have time to spend with her parents, while I can explore Basel. We will be living in an apartment in the old town, with a balcony overlooking 600-700 year old houses.
