25 Sept. 2008

Thought I would update with these photos. It feels more like the beginning of winter instead of Fall. At 10:00 it is barely 70F. The first photo is the morning Blue Boat going to Cannes followed by fishing boat. Click to enlarge.

Here as you can see the beach is empty. Summer tourist have returned home. The ones that remain are mostly retirees and those that prefer the quite.

This beautiful sail boat is the Sea Cloud that anchors right off the beach. It offers cruises throughout the Med. Unfortunately I didn't get a photo with its sails deployed.

The days are getting shorter, dark at 8PM. :( It is time to think Florida. Our plan is to return mid-October.
