French Riviera

Our last stop before returning to Barcelona was Villefranche, France--the gateway to the French Riviera. We decided to visit Nice and Cannes and although by this time in the trip we were both exhausted and ready to go home, we still had a good time.


We explored the two towns on our own. In Nice we spent a lot of time wandering through the Old City (I love old cities!), looking at the Flower Market, and strolling romantically along the Promenade des Anglais. Well, maybe not romantically, but it was beautiful there and I think Jerel might have tried to hold my hand at one point.

In Cannes we saw the famous red-carpeted entrance to the theater where the film festival is held. We hung around for a while hoping to be discovered and cast in a major movie but that didn't end up happening. The city is situated right on the Mediterranean and we wandered along yet another promenade thinking about how nice it would be to finally be home.
