along the Croisette there are rows of freestanding cheerful blue chairs for enjoying the view and the sunshine (though not this month!)..i've always been so pleased to see a society so trusting as to have hundreds of moveable chairs about for the citizens to enjoy..and marveled that they didn't disappear by the dozens only to…

i was spectator to a strange and beautiful thing today. at 9:30 in the morning, on a Saturday morning no doubtedly foggy for some, a group- nearly a crowd- gathered downstairs outside the doors of Morrison's Irish Pub, waiting for the dog-tired bartenders to arrive (which they finally did with two minutes to spare) so…

the scene outside the front bedroom balcony in Cannes. it's taking some getting used to..Antibes seems to me so much greener and smaller, almost 'quaint', but i'm sure i'll find more to love as i get to know Cannes better. Miss Liz was a great help this past weekend, taking me over to the huge…
