Nice: 'You Pay For The Weather'

 That is what a local we spoke with said. On our trip to Nice and the south of France with Dave's brother and sister-in-law we only had one dry day so we really saved! We took the train down and were lucky to get tickets that seated us around a good sized table and get a few games of Settlers in on our way down.

 The Saturday was stormy but rain held off during the day. We got off the train to Monaco one stop early and walked the remainder along the coast. It was a very nice walk with some spectacular waves. We wandered around Monaco until the skies opened up and returned to Nice in time to run into the French tradition of not serving dinner until 8.

The next day it rained all day so we took part in the traditional French rainy day activities, visted an expo and went bowling!

Monday we had nicer weather for our trip to the medieval fortified village of St Paul de Vence (which is not the same as the town of Vence!)  The village was very charming and now seems to be the home to a large number of artists and trending toward Disney-ification.
