Nice

Our last full day in France began with a leisurely repacking and checking out of our hotel. We then strolled down to the Cours Saleya to do last minute shopping and have lunch at Les Corbusca, recommended to us more than once. After delicious plates of ravioli we bought some watercolors of the area to remind us always of our time in Nice. We headed down to the Promenade des Anglais to gather some last rays of the sun but on the way we stopped at the Casino Ruhl to "use the bathroom". Okay, we did some gambling too. After losing 10 Euro, we walked over to the Promenade, sat in the sun and again marveled at the sunbathers being able to lie on those rocky beaches. All too soon it was time to go back to the hotel, pick up our luggage, and catch our train to Paris. Before boarding our train, we purchased one of our last take-away jambon et fromage baguettes (ham and cheese sandwiches) to have for dinner on the train. How French are we! Our train left about a half hour later than scheduled so we got into Paris around 10:30. We decided to stay at the Sheridan hotel, which is right here in the Charles de Gaulle airport/train station. It may be pricey but for convenience and peace of mind, we think we can splurge on our last night in France. We are looking forward to being home. While we had a fabulous time and are bringing back some great memories, we are missing home and all our friends and loved ones. We’ll see you soon!
