Every Monday, Nice Flower Market's fruit and veggie stands are replaced
with a fabulous antiques market. I spent most of the day here - looking through
treasures. Buskers wander here and there from cafe' to cafe '- singing all genre of
music from Italian and French ditty to Elvis compositions. The sun was shining
and it was a perfect day to wear a hat. Come to think of it - everyday is a good day
for wearing a hat !! The sidewalk cafes were brimming with people soaking up the
sunshine and drinking their espresso, wine or beer. I do believe, I've started
smoking again - cough, cough, hack, gag ! It almost feels that way as I've been
forced to gulp buckets of second hand cigarette smoke - gosh, good golly - this
is a cigarette smoking country !!
I love the Promenade and could spend all day watching people. Not only
are the people fascinating to watch, so are the puppy dogs - all breeds and
sizes. The French love their dogs and treat them exceptionally well. Dogs
seem to be very well behaved here and are even welcome in restaurants -
sitting in a chair at the table along side their owners. Now that's something
you never see in America or England - puppies at the restaurant dinner table.
Some dogs like to fish !!
What a splendid way to spend the day - sitting seaside and enjoying the sun.
It was about 57 degrees Fahrenheit and bright, full sun !
I watched this young man for a very long time. He was very good on
his skates. I must have snapped about 50 photos of him.
The ochre tiled rooftops of Nice.

Looking at other people's laundry in Old Town Nice !!
She's great - just one of the many great characters you see by the sea !
