Leaving Antibes, you can see the snow (!!) on the peaks of the Alps. Wish I could rent a car and slip away to go explore, but alas....
We anchored out for the afternoon in Villefranche, a cute little city that surrounds a pretty bay. Apparently, legend says Hercules opened his arms and Villefranche was born.
When the guests departed for lunch off the boat, we took the tender out for a quick spin to charge the battery.
Circled our boat for a nice view of her anchored against the backdrop of the town.
Later that afternoon we picked up anchor and headed on our way. We arrived in the very pretty port of Nice. I'm going to be extra corny and say it: Nice is quite nice. Har har. But really, it is. Or at least I enjoyed what little I was able to see.
I haven't had much time at all off the boat, so when I got off early one night I jumped on the chance to go for a run along the coast. What a fabulous run! Wish I had taken my camera along with me, it was just that amazing.
The view backwards as we left Nice. That was the coastline along which I ran. You're jealous, I know. ;)

Of course every reading of your posts lately has involved some jealousy. We all wish we could be enjoying time off, beautiful scenery, weather, the ocean, etc all the time. But life isn't all roses for you either. You've been working waaay harder than I have in order to enjoy this new lifestyle, so it's got its price. But I'm glad you seem to be enjoying and fully taking advantage of the moments you have and that you share them with us. :)
