CANNES

Well, here we are!  On the famous red carpet of the Palais des Festivals in Cannes.  Apparently we arrived too late for the film festival...

Conveniently located next to the red carpet was a souvenir shop.  Hmm, coincidence?

Everyone had some time to have lunch in small groups and explore the city a bit and then we met up for some of the best beach time yet.  The beach was sand (hooray!) and the water was glorious.

Our live-on-the-edge boys took a ride on what can only be described as the biggest non-rescue raft that I have ever seen.

It was a very relaxed day and something we all  needed.  Look how pooped they are!

It was back in Nice for dinner next to Cours Saleya, and strategically adjacent to ice cream.  There was some kind of fire jumping show in the square but I couldn't get a photo of it.  So imagine eating a pizza, with a knife and fork à la française, and then seeing some dude do a back flip over a flaming rope.  Only in Europe!

Tomorrow is parasailing!  I promise parents, none of your children will float away!
