Antibes

Here are some more photos and a few videos from our time in Antibes.  It wasn't hard to figure out why the area is such a popular draw for tourists.  In fact, we heard more Italian and English than we did French!  We visited the Picasso Museum in Antibes and the Chagall Museum in Nice, and managed to stumble across a children's festival in Nice much to the girls' delight.   Despite rain on the first day, the weather was super and we had a number of leisurely afternoons on the beach.  Grace kept busy digging, building and watering each beach trip.  Lily, on the otherhand, decided that after the first day she had had enough of the feel of sand between her toes and preferred to relax on a towel while soaking her feet or skimming through a book.

  1. Oh-h-h-h! Nice beaches! Gracie's walled sand city was amazing - a lot of work, but for me this week the beach towel and a good book would get my vote. "The Help" that you recommended is out in paperback now and I am really enjoying it.
