Day 1 Nice, France


Started the day picking up a few essentials. I wonder how many times I can climb the four flights of stairs to my apartnent? I made it twice today! Each time is a little easier.

Then stopped for Socca for breakfast.
After browsing in a few shops, walked to the Port and then along the Promenade.
Lovely day for a walk. 70 degrees and sunny, although too windy to sit near the water.


            Nice, Port
 

      Both sides of the Port are lined with cafes.
      I ate at Le Lunai. The mozzarella salad was quite good.






        Promenade des Anglais
