Study Abroad 2005...

After a night of grand adventure, it was only logical, and plausible, to relax on the beaches of Nice. Our late start didnt put us on the beaches in Nice until 3pm. Nice is gorgeous and the coast looks exactly like any postcard of it, but the postcards fail to tell you that the beaches are all rocks. It is slightly uncomfortable to be laying with a boulder in your back (we arent talkeing pebbles, these are full fledged rocks), but the advantage to that is that at the end of the day, you dont have to dump, wash, and shake sand from every item you own.

After a few hours in the sun, some gelato was definitely in order, and was followed by a walk along the Palais d'Anglais along the water. It is do picturesque and the city is just riddled with things to look at and make you wish you could stay forever, or at least until you got too sunburned to stay anymore. Nicole and I grabbed a drink from a local restaurant at the Port of Nice before catching the bus back to the hostel where we laid low for the night and caught up on some sleep.

So far the things I have learned in Nice are: Rocky beaches are not all bad, French women arent all that skinny, pasteries for as many meals as possible ARE a good idea, the nightlife is obviously not restricted to the hours of night, and i dont have to leave for 2 more days.......YEAH!!!!!!

Well, it off to Eze and Monaco for the day, and possibly the Cap d'Ail for some cliff jumping if we are feeling gutsy, although, nicole may have to induce it by pushing me.
