 David and I got Kamel (the driver) to drop us in Nice this morning and we found a coffee/pastry shop and walked around the town. We had a walking tour that started at 11:30 so we met the group there. Our tour guide met us at the Negresco Hotel. Our guide’s English was a struggle for her to say it and a struggle for us to understand it. She told us a lot about architecture and about the hotels along the Promenade des Anglais, but I can’t really remember too much unfortunately. Côte d’Azur  Negresco Hotel  The water is incredibly blue!  Chocolates! Street where the markets take place.  Butcher shop The main square An overlook very close to our villla We went to lunch at Le Ploneoir (the plunge) which was very nice. The restaurant is fashioned like a boat on top of a rock outcrop. The water below is so clear and beautiful! I hope to take a swim in it soon!  A week before this was the table for George and Amal Clooney and Randy and Cindy Crawford Gerber So delicious!  So inviting! After l
