Nice is a beautiful and very active city in the Mediterranean. Lots of people, tourists, traffic, busses, motorcycles are everywhere zipping, left, right and down the middle! They are creating a light rail system and so there is construction everywhere. When it is done it should decrease all of the chaos.
It really seems to be an ideal city for the active people. The very wide seaside promenade caters to everyone. This morning we were walking with pedestrians, runners, scooters and bicycles. There was room for everyone. Of course the sea is a haven for casual bathers to small watercraft and open water swimmers.
After all of the walking we did yesterday it was a good thing to take the little train tour of the historic district of Nice today. I also love the commentary that goes along with with these tours.
We visited the famous flower/food market in the historic district before heading back to the apartment to get ready to leave tomorrow. Tonight we will have dinner by the sea and then up at 4:30 a.m. to catch the first of two planes I will take to get home. I cannot believe the forecasts for what appears to be unexpectedly cool weather in Arizona.
The “Square Head” is a sculpture by the french artist Sacha Sosno, and it is also the very first giant sculpture to have been transformed in a habitable building.
The seven statues from "Conversation à Nice" by Jaume Plensa on place Masséna - Nice, France (day and night)
These were taken from the Internet because construction for a music concert obscured our view.
Built in early 1,900’s, here is my last photo of a French carousel. Love the little airplanes!

Glad to see you are still moving around, albeit in feet or bus now. While you were drinking the €15 soda, did you feel the urge to buy a yacht or Bentley ;). Nice looks like a lovely place, but crowded. Safe flights home. Arizona is same as when you left...105 ish.
