A Walk Along the Coast

Walking Honey this afternoon, I passed a poster for a concert organized by the workers striking in France.


The protests seem to be over for the most part, and the tattered bulletin reminded me that it's been weeks since I posted a blog, so here's a tidbit from a few weeks ago. After some days of rain, we had a bit of cabin fever, so Vince and I took the bus to Beaulieu-sur-Mer. The bus is clean, fast, reliable and a steal at 1 euro (about $1.30), especially considering the distance it covers (and the scenic route it takes along the coast).


We had lunch at a place above Beaulieu. The food was average, but the view was priceless.


After lunch, it was time to walk off some calories. We headed for the port at Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat along Sentier Littoral, the path that follows the coast.


Along the way, we met a charming and fascinating new friend, Ruth.


She was on holiday from Manchester, England, and we strolled and chatted like old pals. She was staying in Nice, and we thought it might be fun to have her by sometime the following week.



As fate would have it, I was out the next day to pick some odds and ends at a small supermarket. Of course, I ran into Ruth! Kooky small world. We made a date, Ruth dropped by and we yakked and yakked the evening away. We are always thrilled to meet interesting new friends. Especially folks who get Honey's seal of approval.
