The much needed vacation behind me, I was greeted by a swift sore throat and cold this morning. There is much work to do in preparation for the week in Chelles but I need to rest.

One highlight from the trip to Nice: Adrienne and I spent the first day in a town called Juan Les Pins, just one stop east of Cannes. We shopped and found our very own spot on a sandy beach, swam in the Mediteranean, dried off, swam again and dried off again. Then for dinner at about 8pm, we targeted a pizzeria on the beach. We sat about 20 feet from the waves, wiggled our toes in the sand and ate amazing pizza's in the "palm tree and sunset sky". This town is my recommendation to any person desirous of a little 'repos'.
