STL DPD On The Road: It Could Be The Last View of Menton But It Isn't

.
Old Menton, Night

OMG it's 1 in the morning. A peaceful morning in the Old Town of Menton; then the impenetrable mountain roads, tourist throngs and merciless sun of Monaco; then a delightful, long dinner with the supremely gracious Jilly Bennett, followed by night shooting. This is all I had time to edit. Much more will end up on Flickr when I have time.

Above, the waterfront and basilica of the old town of Menton. Below, the view from our hotel balcony in late afternoon.

To Avignon this afternoon.

Late Afternoon, Menton

It was such a delight to have you here. Am so glad you loved Menton and I think the word gracious actually applies to you and Carolyn! Have a wonderful time in Avignon and onwards...
