Okay everybody, I just had an absolutely tiring/incredible weekend. This was my long weekend, and I managed to see Nice, Marseilles, and Avignon France. Started off with a nice 7 hour drive through the Swiss Alps (there is a photo album just for that) getting to Nice France. Made a quick trip to Cannes for a little bit. Unfortunately, I couldn't go to Île Sainte-Marguerite. as the last boat left about 2 hours before I got there. I was really hoping to go, as this is where the man in the iron mask was held. In 20/20 this would have been the only thing worth seeing in Cannes. With Cannes done, I returned to Nice to spend Thursday night and Friday in Nice. Friday I met up with a friend Pam who I had met at another friends wedding (Rich). We spent the day in Nice, and then drove over to Marseilles for dinner Friday night. She returned to Aix-en-Provence Friday night, but I stayed in Marseilles all Saturday walking like a lunatic wearing my feet down to nubs (Did I say ow!). After a busy busy day in Marseilles, I promptly passed out and left for Switzerland Sunday morning. With some prodding, I ended up stopping off in Avignon on the way back. It was sunday so not much was open, but I did walk about a bit. Got back on the road for the remainder of my 11 1/2 hr drive back. Combination of heavy traffic and the slight delay.
All in all, an amazing weekend. Pictures have been placed on my picasa web site picasaweb.google.com/derek.hecht . New albums, Swiss Alps, Nice, Marseilles, Avignon.
Next weekend, Rome!
