Cote D'Azur

We've just returned from a fun weekend in Cannes where we stayed with Geoff. On Friday, we caught a train after school that put is in Cannes just before 7. That night we had dinner in a small town called Mougins, a short drive inland from Cannes. The food was outstanding, we tried a local specialty of fish soup served with bread, garlic mayonnaise and parmasian cheese. After that we hit up a very fun club back in Cannes located in a marina.
Saturday was spent catching rays at the local pool and down by the ocean - Geoff's place is in a small cliffy enclosure in a town called Theoule, west of Cannes. The included pictures will do the place more justice than any description!
Saturday night we went back into Cannes for another night of dinner and drinks. It was fun seeing the town by night - The famous hotels like the Majestic (parts of the movie Ronin were filmed there!) as well as the Cannes Film Festival building and its famous red carpet staircase. Sunday morning we had to get up early to get back to Monpellier, where my mom was due to arrive early in the afternoon. She made it, and we were able to walk around town and have dinner at a Crepe place before passing out!
