Paris to Nice Cruise Nice November 7, 2009

     After checking into the Hotel Ellington in Nice and having lunch in “old town”, we proceeded to the Promenade des Anglais along the Mediterranean coast to catch a Hop on Hop off bus which had a running commentary as we toured.
     The big excitement was while we were waiting for the bus, a Senagalese man came up to me and wanted to give me a gift.  “No money.”  He said it was for good luck.  Kathy was setting up her camera for a shot of us and he approached her.  “No, thanks”; however, she ended up giving him $5.00.  His lucky day.
     A few of the historic places which we viewed from the top of the bus as we drove up into the hills overlooking the Bay of Angels included the Marc Chagall museum and another one devoted to Matisse.
     By the end of the tour we were very cold, so we stopped at Emilie’s Cookies and Hot Chocolate on our way back to the hotel.  Even though the seats were pretty close to the floor, I was able to get up with Kathy’s help.
