First View of Menton

.
Menton 2011-08-24 1

We made it. It's wondrous that we can get from St. Louis to the Cote d'Azure in less than a day.

This was taken a bit after sunset from the balcony of our hotel room. Notice that there are still people on the beach. We had a light dinner and now to bed. Massive jet lag.

Super, Bob. So pleased you have a lovely view from your room. See you soon...

You did well for a jet-lagged shot. Are you sure you didn't go to the casino right away?!

I'm smiling and misty eyed at the same moment. This captures the magic of Menton beautifully, Bob. I hope you had a good sleep and that you are already embracing your first full day in the south of France with Jilly.
