Back from my European month off

While not physically IN Europe because the virus is still running rampant throughout much of the U.S due to the totally incompetent/lack of plan from the orange tin pot dictator, I did take some time off and transported myself to one of my favorite places in Europe – Antibes. If you go to the marina there you will see every conceivable type of boat in every conceivable price range/income range. They say Nice and Monte Carlo are the richie rich areas. I think Antibes has them beat. I went during a quiet period, taking the bus from Nice to the center of Antibes. What a great ride along the coast for I think it was 2 euros at the time. Such a bargain! In fact, from Nice, you can ride a local bus through Monaco to the Italian border for about 2 euros. Who needs a car? This way you can see the sights, look out the windows, people watch…. I loved it. And where else will you see a woman wearing a fur coat riding a bus?

Anyway, I take this time to reflect on a beautiful, happy place amongst the dark reality of our current world. Enjoy!

From Antibes (the beaches) you can see The Alps. Amazing….
A very walkable place.
This fort overlooks the harbor.
Let the rich yacht show begin!
More regular folk boats.
History of the Fort.
If the harbor is not enough, there are many museums including the Picasso Museum which is at the harbor.
There are some beautiful old houses near the harbor.
The seaside facing east towards Cannes and Nice.
