Cannes Film FestivalWell, guess what? We landed in Cannes right in the middle of the Cannes Film Festival. Beautiful people everywhere and as we came into the docks there was the Lady Moura. This is a huge yacht with real gold lettering everywhere and we were told it is owned by a Saudi who is the 7th richest man in the world ;-) As soon as we get less expensive internet we'll try to look her up!

There were baptisms going on with little children looking beautiful all in white. Flowers blooming everywhere. Although this was nice, everyone wanted to see movie stars, so down the hill and into town to the actual festival area along the beach and to go in search of the "red carpet". Throngs of movie people from all over the world in fabulous clothes. Models and wanna be actresses everywhere but alas, we did not spot anyone we knew.
