102 - When I am in a neon pink mood...

...I feel dirty. What could be worse than feeling like the most hideous colour the 80s had to offer. Makes me feel like I should be wearing leg warmers or something; or like I'm back to my mullet days listening to Guns 'N Roses while arguing with my friend about GNR's total dominance over KISS, (what did a bunch of grade 3s know about music anyway?) Seems to me a neon pink mood is like saying you're feeling a little radiation-y today. Neon pink. I'm stuck thinking about how "I want my MTV" was considered this amazing video with these real cutting edge computer animations; we've come a long way. I do love that video, though. So, basically, when I'm in a pink mood, I feel like dancing, (WHAT?!?), er, I mean, I feel like being in a non-neon colour mood.

Happy Nice Day!

Day Four: A Nice Final Day in Nice We started our day by heading down to Antibes, which we had passed on our travels to and from Nice. We had noticed there is a Picasso museum there so we wanted to check it out. Today was the day that we learned that we should be mapping our journeys to parking lots and not the destinations themselves. Our GPS took us directly to the museum, which, it turns out, is in the old fort that stands on edge of the sea. Not a problem except that we found ourselves on the very narrow one-way road that wraps around the area, which is a very popular spot for pedestrians and cyclists. We slowly navigated our way around and eventually found parking. The museum itself (the building) was quite interesting. Like I said, it’s housed inside the old stone fort, so the layout, windows, doorways, etc. were all incredible to look at/be around. As for the art, there were some pieces that were beautiful but many of the Picassos were pencil drawings and sketches he had done wh...

Happy Aix Day!

Day Five: Aix Gon’ Give It To Ya “How can a grocery store croissant be better than any I’ve ever had at home?,” Rebecca asked aloud as we started our journey to our next stop. The baked goods here are on a different level. Today we left Biot, the small town North West of Nice where our hotel was located, and headed toward wine country. Our next stop was four nights in Aix-en-Provence (Aix is pronounced “X”). To get to Aix-en-Provence, we decided to take the toll highways, an experience we had struggled with on day 1. Our first attempt had me pull into a lane, avoiding the lanes clearly marked “no cash” and ended up pulling into a lane that was designated for transponders only (unbeknownst to us). As cars started lining up behind us, panic set in and I pushed the help button. Luckily, the lady who answered spoke English and had me shouting credit card numbers at her. Today would be different. We studied up (google) on how to use the toll system and, while anxious, were ready to give it ...

Happy France Day!

I'm dusting off this old blog in order to record some thoughts about our trip to France in 2023. Feel free to read along. Some of the entries will be quite long, like this one, and others will be shorter. I'll try to include photos as well. Apologies for any typos and spelling mistakes; turns out French keyboards are arranged differently. Thanks for reading! Back in 2019, Rebecca and I started discussing/planning for our upcoming tenth wedding anniversary in 2020. After some ideas were bandied about, we landed on a trip to France. We had developed a pattern in our travels of going to various cities and trying to find the art and the nature in those cities, (sometimes just the art; sorry Buffalo), so France struck as an opportunity to turn that up to eleven, so we started planning. We mapped out a two week itinerary that would take us around the country that would let us explore and celebrate. In early 2020 there was a record scratch heard round the world that, let's say, in...
