Finale

We are now all scattered around somewhere south of Nice, some of us near the beaches, some up in the hills for our final week.   The weather turned beautiful again – 80’s and sunny, and we have a couple of free days to hopefully get organized, and possibly sleep a little before we make the trip home on Saturday.   Several cultural visits recently included the Chagall museum, the Rothchild Chateau, the Oceanographic Museum in Monaco, and archeological tours in Nice.   Yesterday we saw the glass factories and perfumerie in Grasse …. so we all smell very good now!   Here are some little pics for you to see of our last days in the Cote d’Azur.    Cannot help but mention that we are all looking forward to being home this weekend, despite the beauty of this place…..tura

Climax-Sunday, May 6, 2007

We are alive in Nice!  We reached our climax yesterday at the District Rotary Convention in Monaco.  Prince Albert was a no show.  It was fun to see the familiar faces of previous Rotarians from our exchange.  Today was the presidental election in France.  Sarkozy (right) won 53% to 47% Royale (she is a socialiste). It was a very interesting time to be in France. Many people had strong feelings about a woman running for president.
