Le Jetset de Cannes


I had a marvelous afternoon in Cannes, France today. It was a beautiful and sunny day - perfect for the beach! I went to soak in some sun with my roommate, Dave, and the piano player, Ron. I also had a very nice swim in the Mediterranean, although it was extremely frigid! So the French are famous for their topless bathing, and there was plenty of it, but one couple took public displays of affection to an extreme today. They actually copulated in the water where everyone on the beach could see - tre risque!

After the afternoon on the beach, we went to a creperrie (sp?) for crepes with strawberry jam and coffee. The French certainly know their crepes! The amount of yachts that were in the harbor was quite ridiculous. I can't ever imagine owning something so posh and having the jetset lifestyle. I also saw the building where the Cannes Film Festival takes place - too bad I missed it by just a few weeks. Tomorrow I'll be back in Roma!

Oh, we've had a ridiculously light work load the past week with 2 nights off. I'm really starting to feel like I'm on vacation and becoming quite a Scrabble champion. Hope everyone is well!
