Today I went on another pax tour to Nice in the French Riviera. It wasn't all that exciting except that we had about an hour free in a farmer's market in the center of town. For 1 Euro I purchased a wonderful baguette of crusty French bread. It was pretty amazing. Also, I found a wine shop to purchase some wine for Shane and Bridgett (see next post).
The better part of the day was when I got back, walking around Cannes. Although it was very hot, the air was amazing. It was somehow lighter and cleaner than other air. Hard to describe. Cannes is a great combination of old Hollywood, Miami nightlife and beach front, and French Riviera. I was sad we didn't have an overnight here because I imagine it becomes a wonderful party town at night with all the clubs along the beach. I visited the event center for the Cannes film festival, complete with red-carpetted stairs and hand prints in the cement with signatures such as Anthony Quinn, Mickey mouse, and David Lynch. For those that follow the show Entourage, I took some pictures of spots I remembered for the Season 4 finale in which the crew goes to Cannes.
All in all, it was a great day out. I would highly recommend Cannes for honeymooning since you could spend your days on the beach or visitng the French countryside of Nice, Monacao, or Monte Carlo (even a night in Monte Carlo would be fun) and then go out at night.
