This is the first day in more than a month that doesn't have the French Riviera 2023 tag in the footer of the post. However, we haven't completely returned to a normal schedule yet. Although we didn't go to sleep until after midnight and were exhausted from more than a dozen hours in the air, we woke up around 6:00 am. Oh my! It'll take a few days to get used to the nine-hour difference on the clocks.
We did miss some of the common views from the windows. In our VRBO apartment, we could look down along the street and at buildings set back opposite us. We miss the dog from one section. We miss a black and white cat from another balcony. We also can no longer see whether the clouds over the Alps or the breeze off the Mediterranean was winning a tug of war.
Yet early today, I did get reacquainted with the view off our balcony here!
