parlais vous francais?

Shea returned last night from a 6-day (including travel) trip to Nice, France for an European online education conference. Apart from a minimalist hotel room, lots of city construction, and standing for 10 hours at a time, Shea also got to see a little bit of Riviera beauty, and as I (Elizabeth) like to say, “Vive la Mediterranean!”

The pictures below came from the old quarter of Nice and its beautiful Mediterranean coastline. It is easy to imagine this beach flooded with tourists during the summer months.

Since Nice is such a tourist city, most people spoke enough English so Shea wasn’t in a bind for communicating. However, he does have some funny stories, so be sure to ask him about those.

As you can see, Nice had some very big, ugly modern art throughout the city…such a contrast to the beautiful cathedrals, opera house, and coastline!

I think that this trip truly enforced how much we want to see more of the Mediterranean Sea together- specifally the Greek Isalnds…. hopefully after Rosemead lets me go with a degree.
