... was our first hot weather and beach day...it was just fun to drink in the sites.  Our hotel is quite near the Cannes Film Festival building.  We saw lots of "star" hand prints, and walked along the boardwalk past some of our (Auntie Kelly take ...

... up again. Apparently, if you go to the Palais before a premier, it is pretty easy to get in to see a movie at the Cannes Film Festival. Ross, a few friends and I walked to downtown Cannes in our best clothes (Ross wore a tuxedo) with signs that ask for ...

... I follow the "stars" but my brother and I thought that The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring might be at the festival. It turned out that it wasn't but was being viewed at a nearby castle. Also, Cannes was the first place that we seen sand ...
