Blvd François Grosso
My accommodations while
here in Nice have been with a French family.
We live in their condo which fully takes advantage of the Mediterranean
cultural style of combining indoor and outdoor living spaces. Most of the rooms in the house, including the
bedrooms, transition seamlessly into outdoor living spaces. It was while living here that I grew accustomed to drinking coffee in the French (also Italian) style: a simple espresso. Now I'm hooked!
We're lucky in this building to have access
to a great outdoor space, especially since they have a dog, and it makes a
convenient place to take her out regularly.
The dog's name is Ava, and she and I became fast friends. In fact, we became such good buddies, that
the family bought me this representative charm bracelet as a way of
thanking me for occupying myself with her: she certainly would not have gotten
as many outings this summer if it hadn't been for me. Below, her alien eyes glow in the flash of
the camera as I snapped a photo of her in her preferred place to sleep: my
room! ;)
