... upon me it feels very strange and somewhat daunting. But to my knowledge no one has ever died from teaching children so I am sure I will survive.... My Amazon book order should arrive soon to inspire me. I am really looking forward to discovering the 100 things you can do with a paper plate. Life is never going to be the same!!

More when I start travelling...

Gorgeous morning and a stunning place for breakfast awaited us just outside Scooby overlooking the lake. I went for a run but Kim was feeling a little under the weather so she stayed and made me breakfast - yay! We spotted two girls about our age and attempted to engage in some conversation but their English was limited and French is rubbish. Shame as its manily been the grey hair brigade we ...

Oddly, we haven't seen as many sports/exotics over here as you might think. There are a few Porches here and there. Big deal.. Some Ferraris but again not as many as I thought I would see. Oh and a couple of "greasers" in Lambos (Good God..! This could be a blog topic all on it's own, so I'll discuss in person over a glass of wine with the quiz winner)... So, what was the most spotted and ...

... spend the day sitting outside the old church listening to the "Women of Handel" do a dress rehearsal for their upcoming concert, a tribute in honor of the death of Handel, 250 years ago. You can enjoy the sounds of Handel in a video below.

Despite all the glamor in Cannes, there's also the old town of Cannes (le Suquet) and the vistas of the fancy harbor below. It's those picturesque moments, the tiny bistros, and photo opportunities that have made this trip real.

... Sailboats were docked at the marina (knez, it made me think of you). Diane ordered mussles and Jon and I had our first mussels ever. They were delicious. Thank you Diane for helping me discover my love for sea food. St-Tropez was further than we thought, but thank god we ...

... Rolles and finally found the ferry and a place to park! We bought our tickets and made it onto the 12:30pm boat - a 15 minute breezy ride to the island. Once we arrived in the port (a North African-style village), we bought a beach towel, some sunscreen, and some sandwiches and headed off on foot to Plage d'Argent (Silver Beach), a 10-minute walk. We found a spot up on a hill and set up our picnic blanket ...

The sun is shining!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After a long winter back home the sun is finally here and around 20 degrees C (70 F). The course is a lot of fun and with a bunch of people from all over the world. 1 German, 1 French, 1 Aussie, 2 Kiwis, 1 Venezuelan, and me. It's a great old town with an amazing marina. There are a couple of the world's biggest yachts here at the moment ...

... the lodge was just around the next corner. This was my first real experience with snow. I had seen some slush stuff back home & a little bit in France with Craig & Nix, but this was the proper stuff. It snowed on the second day so I got to see the famous flakes with the unique shapes - it was a great moment to be surrounded by falling snow and gazing out from my misted-up goggles while getting up after falling AGAIN in the snow.
