Why not go to Nice?

Well, plot twist!! I did not see those election results coming. The results were breaking right as I woke up. After a few hours of watching the coverage I got burned out by news and decided to hop on a train to Nice.

The last time I was there it was August in the height of the tourist season. It felt so different this time. It's a big city, but in the touristy section of Vieux Nice it felt pretty dead and empty. That also might be due to the fact that it was the coldest day we've had so far this fall on the Riviera- a "frosty" 55 degrees... something that I very much enjoyed! It was so joyful to wear a cozy sweater.

Streets of Vieux Nice-

Christmas is coming!!

As a bonus, I took a picture of the sunrise on 3 different days this past week. Every morning it's pretty much spectacular. By the end of the year I could probably publish a calendar "Sunrises of Mandelieu." The sun rises at about the same time that David's alarm goes off for work every morning, so I usually come take a peak out the window before crawling back under my blanket for a little while.

So anyways, I guess it should be an interesting time in my home country. I definitely remember what I was doing when I heard who won the last few elections too. This one will be even more memorable because 1. it was such a surprise, and 2. I have pictures.
