L’Estartit…Moonrise over Les Medes

On Thursday we drove 25 miles down the coast to Camping Les Medes ( N 42.042504, E 3.183582) near the coastal town of L’Estartit. This is a friendly medium sized site with a few things going on even in the

Nice….Apollo has Returned…Girls Avert your Eyes

Today we hit Nice. The Place de Massena is a must see, looked over from one side by Apollo on the Fontaine de Soleil. His statue was removed fairly recently in case it caused ‘moral disruption’ but was daringly reinstated
