Nice
Arriving in Nice, I didn't quite know what to expect. The recent terror attack made it clear once again that we live in a radically changing world where callous and senseless acts like it are becoming all too common. The clear blue azure skies of the day gave way to a pinkish evening that cast a sombre spell over the promenade where flowers lined the walkway. A procession of people paying their respects filed past me as I leant up against the railings. Some were praying, some crying. Some like me, were just staring out to sea, trying to understand why stuff like this happens.
Nice is where my 'European Explorer' trip ends. I fly to Paris a few days early to get my extremely painful and embarrassing tooth issue fixed for good, even if that means I yank it out myself. Unfortunately I won't get to see the gorgeous French countryside but on the flip-side, I get more days in Paris. A big 'Thank You' to the rest of the group on the tour for their concern and for putting up with me and my apologies for not being able to 'be there' with you for most of it.
