Day 29 - This is our last weekend on the French Riviera. We have a mid-week flight, but the end feels near. I usually find myself trying to snap a few photos to help me remember things about our stay.
For example, we've left the main door of our building to walk to the outer gate more times than I can count. We marvel at the growth of the plants, especially as there is a profusion of a flower Jay calls the 'four o'clock plant'. That's when the flowers open each afternoon and he knows it from Sri Lanka. The white ones look like this:
The view from the door looks like this. The street is a dead-end so there's never traffic on it.
So often we've simply walked down Avenue Jean Médecin, the main route of Tram #1. The wide avenue is only for pedestrians and trams and is so walkable! People are always there. Then, the avenue opens up directly into Place Masséna and the Fontaine du Soleil. Next to that, a large fountain area was being used mostly by kids cooling off from the warmth of a June evening.
If one walks just a block through a park one arrives at the Neuf Lignes Obliques. The artwork of nine, 30-meter pillars It can be seen from all along the beach side of this city.
We've grown used to seeing these things. It'll feel strange flying home after just 30 days of living here.
