Cote d'Azur

Nice.  Cannes.  Monaco.

Hello September!  (Summer is going by fast).  Last night we returned from a very relaxing weekend in Nice.  We enjoyed lovely sunny weather, good seafood and chill atmosphere.  It was a wonderful change of pace from our recent “city” trips.   
  

  



Stellar views from hotel's rooftop terrace (service not so great, but we got free beer out of it!)




 

There was a random fireworks display as we walked along the promenade on Saturday night, so we're not sure if there was a wedding or something else going on, but it was pretty big and lasted at least 15 minutes.



 
Day trip to Cannes:




We also visited Monaco and hit the famous Monte Carlo Casino where I made some big bucks gambling at the slot machines!  Well, not big bucks, but €15 euros (at least we came out ahead).  




 

Big winner (not really, but at least it's something)!


Does anyone want to go half-sies on a triple decker 160-foot yacht?  Ha ha.  I’ve never seen so many big boats and fancy cars (Rolls, Bentley, Maserati, Lamborghini)…..hello, Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous (remember that show?!).
