Home is Nice

Today is Nice -- pun intended.

We stayed in Nice today and just walked around town. We found a great farmer’s market in old-town. We bought marselle soap and spices. We also bought 1/2 kilo of mixed olives and some little fruit and chocolate filled croissants. We saw white asparagus that was at least 3” around. Easily the largest I have ever seen.

It starts raining about 2pm. We duck into a ocean-front brasserie for espresso and a bite to eat. I end up with a cheese burger. For a country so famous for great food, the burger is pretty bad. I guess it’s an american thing. Oh yeah, here French Fries are just called fries or Pomme Frites.
I am almost fully acclimated to European time now. Ironically tonight is the “seasonal change” and we have to advance our clocks 1 hour. Didn’t we just do this?
