3 February ’05, Thursday. We are just about settled into our new campground and our extended stay after 3 days. The first location they put us in wasn’t available for us to stay the 3 weeks, so we went looking through the campgrounds for that special one that spoke to us…we found D43, and this is going to be it. It offers good sun, a flat location, 2 trees to tie our clothesline on,

and most important…it’s close to the potty. We have been so used to getting a campground and site that is right on the water, that this one feels like there is something missing. The Mediterranean is about ¼ mile from the entrance, so that isn’t too bad. We have already started walking into the village (Antibes), which is about 2 miles or more down the road. The bus and the train stops are both within a short walk, so when we want to go into Nice, Monaco, or any of the other cities and villages of the French Riviera, we won’t have to exert a lot of energy getting to the transportation. For a trip into the mountain top villages, we will most likely take “Bumble Bee”. Yesterday, after finding our new location, we pulled out the tent and put it up. This will give us a little more room to move around in, whether we just use it for extra storage, or additional living quarters. The weather forecast up to the weekend, calls for mostly sunny days and continued cool in the evenings….it is cool in the evenings, fact is, it is down right freezing… Thank God we have a good electric heater we use when we have to. Well, last night, Louise fixed me a wonderful birthday dinner complete with champagne, shrimp, pasta, and of course desert fit for a king. Am I spoiled or what ??? We had a great party and the celebration continues…for how long ???, I’m not asking, just enjoying !!!… Today, following breakfast, we walked into Antibes to use the internet and look around a little. We walked the beach the whole way, and as we came to Antibes, we entered one of the marinas. This IS a boating area, and they DO have the expensive toys…holy cow !!! I can only imagine the boats we will see in Monaco… As we were just walking into the internet café, we saw that there was a street market going on, so our plan was to take that in just after we finished with the internet. Well, just like all the other markets and bazaars that we have come across, they have a quitting time…1:30 sharp…I think there were 2 or 3 that hadn’t quite finished loading their trailers or trucks when we walked out of the internet, but they were done for the week here…we were really disappointed. On top of that, I did what I told myself I would never do again, I left my camera at the van. I deserve a kick in the butt. As we walked around the streets of Antibes,

we found that there is an “Old Town” of Antibes as well. Boy, what a photogenic village this is. I’m just thankful that we will be back and I can take all the pictures my little heart wishes…
