Nice Nice


Nice is quite nice. I didn't try to see everything. In fact, I spent more time in the casino than anywhere else. It was so nice and cool in there so I gave a lot of money to the roulette table. Initally, I thought it would be nice to go to Monaco and play with the high rollers but there wasn't enough time. However, I am pretty sure I saw George Clooney in his nice yacht, waving me over to him but I had to run and catch a train.

Although timely, the train ride was quite nice along the riviera. You could see the beautiful beaches and swanky places quite clearly. Definitely an area I will come back to with more time and planning. There were many, many tourists, lots of Americans (no nice comment) laid out on the beaches there.I didn't really 'get' why they chose to lay there since the beaches there, although lovely, were not so nice to walk on... some, who chose to walk without shoes, seemed quite pained.

To avoid the heat further I took my culturally-deprived ass to the Musée d'Art moderne et d'contemporain. I thought of my brother, Jason, who has shown some painting ability in the past.


J, if you want to duplicate this Yves Klein, just get Terri to roll around in blue paint and smush her up against a canvas like he did. I'm not the biggest fan of contemporary art. I don't appreciate the toys plastered to tiles, especially the dolls heads that cut up (I found that disturbing). And the blue dress made of water bottles? What's with that? There were some nice pieces there though and an overall nice experience.

This car reminds me of the last time I saw the nice Ford Tempo I once owned.

Ialso took a stroll around Vieux (Old) Nice - pretty colours and nice market. Yep, Nice is nice... I mean nice. Ilsa recommends.

Yes you are an artist. You are also a bad driver. Of course, I created my own art a few times as well.
