Weather plays a pretty key role when one is a nomad, even if the role is short-term. 
When the rain falls and the wind blows and lightening and thunder flash and crash about, it seems prudent to stay indoors. 
However, for those of us who invest in Gortex not just in case, but when stormy gales blow, we see inclement weather as another enriching aspect to the adventure.
If you haven’t heard, a northern front is making its way through south western Europe and that’s just about where we find ourselves. The TGV from Paris to Nice today took about 5 1/2 hours and what a relaxing and luxurious means of travel. Following an exhausting, oops I mean exhilarating, day cramming as many sights as we could manage into our last Paris day, (photos for you) a restful trek south through Marseilles, Toulons, Provence, Cannes and Antibes suited us just fine.
By the time we arrived in Nice and we found the hotel, our shoes, under clothes, bags and much of what was in them were soaked. What was I saying about Gortex and adventure?
The good news is that the room is extra comfy with a view of the Riviera (love these off-season rates) from where we storm-watch, eat local cheese and pesto and dry out.
France is spectacular even in a storm.
More photos to come. Stormy weather is preventing a strong enough signal for loading them at present.
Wow! Spoke too soon!!! (weather being kind) Exciting times in spite of, or because of the weather….
love your new lay out. And love seeing pictures of you in paris. Have a cuppa for me. And remember the yarn shops!!:)
Yes, yarn shops are a different beast over here. I need to find a strategy to tame them or conquer them or somehow access them. Will keep trying.
Is your hotel as luxurious as it looks in the photos? Think I could adjust to that kind of living plus looking out over the Mediterranean.
Luxurious is the perfect word to describe our accommodation. The room is tiny with just enough space to inch around the bed but the view is spectacular!
