Best Day Yet

The weather was perfect today — sunny and warm. It was, without a doubt, the best day so far! See below for a short photoblog.

I’ll upload more pictures in the gallery tomorrow. It’s late, and I need to get some sleep so I can have enough energy for another fun-filled day of sightseeing.

Walked out of the hotel and enjoyed the warm weather and gorgeous views on the promenade

View of Nice from the promenade

Me enjoying the lovely day

Visited the flower and food market in Old Nice. This is where the locals shop and they had everything — fresh fruit, fish, veggies, spices, desserts, flowers, etc. It was great.

Stopped and watched a local street performer tap dancing. He also sang “Johnny Be Good” in English and was actually quite good at both.

Traversed the streets of Old Nice

Toured an old Italian Palace from the 1700s

Gary in one of the palace rooms

We climbed up castle hill where the city of Nice was first settled. The views were AMAZING!!!!!

Having a blast

Park on top of castle hill — people were juggling, playing soccer (or football if you’re French), reading on park benches, and simply enjoying the day

View of the Nice lighthouse and port…look how blue the water is…gorgeous!

Ah, I LOVE Nice!

The port of Nice…more yachts. 🙂

Walked out to the lighthouse

Relaxed on the beach and watched kids playing in the ocean — even saw people sunbathing in swimsuits earlier in the day!

Watched an amazing sunset — God painted a beautiful sky for us tonight

Had dinner at a strange “American” restaurant called Buffalo Bills
