Cannes!

Before we arrived in Antibes (I just recently learned that where we are is actually, technically, Grasse, the perfume capital of the world, lol I don't even know where I am) Jack, James' uncle, said that it was raining pretty consistently in this region. But today was the most beautiful perfect and GORGEOUS day.

We caught a ride into Cannes and even just the drive in was gorgeous. Once we got in we went to the Office du Tourisme where we got a map. We spent today scouting and walking around the Old Town. From where we are staying in Grasse its a one euro bus ride in, which is awesome, so we knew we'd be back in this city. After walking through the shopping district (filled with TACKY old, rich people) we got a pastry from a boulangerie and walked to the Palais where the Cannes Film Festival is held. It's actually kind of ugly lol. The next parts we saw were pretty though. We walked up to this old church and saw the overlook of Cannes which was just lovely. Then we walked down through the harbor and saw yacht and yacht that we could never in a lifetime afford - it was just crazy! After walking along the harbor we ended up on the beach. We got to play and climb around on the huge boulders there and finally just layed out on one to watch the sunset, which was gorgeous. Afterwards we got ice cream cones (I indulged) and walked back through the city, where we caught our bus and went home.

Twas a good day. :)
