Our
first shot is of the waterfront along the Promenade des Anglais, just outside
of out hotel, a beautiful stretch of pebble lined beaches and cafes
Just one block in from the waterfront, the beautiful old
city of Vieux Nice begins--shops, restaurants and, of course, cafes.
It
is a picture post card setting of old churches, stores, cafes, and markets,
unspoiled by traffic. Here, near the Cathedrale de Ste.-Reparate, we took
a break from sight-seeing for bruschetta and a glass of wine. When in Nice.
. . Later that evening, Dale ran into two of his former Durham Academy
students, new graduates of Harvard and Princeton, taking the "grand tour"
before moving west to take their first jobs. Small world, indeed!
Here is another scene of the old city, which affords a good look at the
Mediterranean colors, the narrow cobblestone streets, and the balconies
which afford the only light in these beautiful but rather dark homes.
Sidewalk
Vendors near the Palais des Justice in Vieux Nice. These weekend markets
offer everything from cookware to art work.
