Alright Nice, seriously. I signed up for three months on the Mediterranean! WHERE IS THIS SUN!?
Okay, had to vent just a little. But in all honesty, I’m a little bummed that its been so gloomy here. In Nice, there really isn’t much to do except eat and shop when its grey like this, and the ladder I should do without, because Nice does have wonderful shopping, and I have very little self control when it comes to shoes and handbags. I mean, I’ve been giving boots like these the same amount of wishful glances as the tartes au citron in the bakery windows! Needless to say, I should avoid mindlessly walking around the mall.
I will say though, we still haven’t visited any of the museums. I suppose now would be the best time to do so. They’re free, but they’re also small, so it would really only buy us another maybe, 3 or 4 afternoons of entertainment before we’re back to square one.
On a brighter note, Jon and I are in the process of planning a trip this weekend to Torino, Italy. Its only about, 6 hours away by train, so we would get there around 7pm, stay up all night walking around and exploring, check into a hotel that morning so we can shower and take a nap, go out and enjoy Torino during the day and into the evening, and get some sleep in our hotel Saturday night so we don’t miss our early Sunday morning train. Sounds like I should have a caffeine section in my budget for the weekend, thats for sure. But we want to get the most out of Torino without paying for two nights in a hotel. We’ll see how it goes as we get closer in our planning.
So, for those reading in other parts of the world, I hope you’re weather is beautiful. All my Florida friends have been bragging about tanning at the pool or the beach; you bet the moment the sun comes back out I’m going straight to the beach after class, Kindle in hand, ready to soak up that beautiful sun. Or at least try- those who know me know that I’m very fair skinned, burn easily, and freckle. Which means I should probably figure out what sunscreen is in French.
Bonne journée!
