Memories of Nice #1

Wall at Nice, France

I did a walking tour on my last cruise of Nice, France. Like a lot of places, while I was there, I focused on the dirt and decay. But once I am back and can take some perspective and look at the memories of my trip, Nice took on a whole new light. Our guide, Pascal, was fabulous - warm, funny, charming and oh so French. It was a delight just watching her work. Her accent was beautiful and I was amazed at what she could do with a scarf. Just throwing it over her shoulder, she appeared like a queen.

Pascal is the one carrying the sign, number 2, but you can't see her in this photo.

We wandered through the streets. At one point, Pascal stopped to speak and a woman above in a window listened to our every word.
