French Service

I showered in the hot/cool water and changed in the barely room spot. Just my luck, my roommate came back and was up for some dinner. She did not want a sandwich to go and I was fine with that. We walked around the old city and found a spot we both liked.

We got there around 8, ate around 9:15 and left around 10. I was starving and happy to see the food finally come. I was tired and neither of us were too interested in going out so we skipped the place that backpackers go and dance on tables…even though it was Bingo Mondays and headed home.

Along the way home we decided to stop and take pictures of the merry go round.



We even tried to get a picture on it but the lady took so long to take it that the alarm sounded and it started to spin, we had not paid so we jumped off and this is what we got:

We then took pictures by the fountains at night.




We wanted to get pictures of us with the fountain lit up and decided to do silhouettes instead.


We had one more thing to do today, get some water for tomorrow. Most of the shops were closed, none of the grocery stores were open, we were harassed by a couple of guys and even ran into some Michael Jackson impersonator (see Facebook for video). We went into a restaurant, they don’t sell water to go, we went into another, nobody was in it, but some old lady asked what we needed. When we told her water she said she had some. She went to the kitchen, nothing. Looked in the other fridge, nothing. Asked her even older, hunch back friend who got a flashlight and looked in the fridge, nothing (I would like to note, that the lights were on and the fridges were smaller than the kind you buy for dorm rooms….). Anyway, lady #1 went into the basement and got us some. Way weird, way creepy, a little crazy we were sleeping next door one floor up. We got home and I repacked. I have enjoyed my time in Nice a lot. I think I could have used another day or two, but with tutoring in the south, perhaps I will have that opportunity. My roommate is headed to Florence after me, so we may meet up there or in a town nearby (yay!)
