Leaving cold (mid 5o's to low 60's) Dublin to beautiful and warm Nice has been a great change. Don't get us wrong, Ireland, esp. the west coast and the Cliffs of Moher are gorgeous, but it is nice to be in warm weather. Nice is beautiful. The color of the water is 2 different blues: light one (closer to the shore line) and darker blue the further you go out. The only con with the beaches in Nice is there is no sand. The beach in Nice is more like a stone beach, where instead of sand there are stones. We ate all you can eat mussels (where you can change the sauces) and fries with white wine, baguettes with cheese, salami with red wine and of course croissants. Wow, the croissants are AMAZING!!!! They are flaky, buttery, delicious and they melt in your mouth. Nice and the southern coast of France is a MUST for everyone. The climate, scenery, food and people are beautiful, amazing and generous. We loved it here.
Just one thing - never go running in Nice, because you never know what will happen, like spraining your ankle the 2nd day you are here. Even with my sprained ankle - I (Joyce) still loved it. The paramedics (3 of them) and the doctor were incredibly cute, which didn't hurt the situation. On a serious note, God is the ultimate rock and provider. God gave me 4 angels in the guise of complete strangers, who helped me numerous times from getting me ice, chasing down an ambulance, playing translator, and calling us a taxi. I thank God for his provision and my awesome sister, Joh. She was incredible with running all over the place and keeping my spirits up. The bonus of spraining your ankle is having your older sister wait on you hand and foot.
