The beach in Nice proved to be everything I had imagined and even more. Unlike typical sand beaches we associate with back in Canada, the beach in Nice was pebbles. However it was surprisingly comfortable to lie on. The sun was gloriously shining and it was so good to bask in its glow. I absolutely needed to stretch out and sleep after these days of hustling around. And contrary to popular belief there were only a few topless women.
After several hours on the beach, I went for dinner with a hostel roommate from the Ukraine. He had a really interesting theory on the economic recession and philosophy on how the world should run. Later on, we met up with another hostel roommate and headed to a pub for drinks. On the way, we stopped by to see some street performers break-dancing and MJ moonwalking. Pretty spectacular tricks!
Nice was a really beautiful place throughout the day. The buildings were painted in pastel colours and there was a definite Mediterranean atmosphere. There were large plazas with fountains and tiled pavement. "Victorian" buildings lined the streets. The most striking feature of Nice was the vivid blue and turquoise of the Mediterranean Sea. The beach promonnade was my favourite spot as I was reminded that Paul sailed in this very same sea and that God created all this beauty and the rolling waves. Nice was very much what I needed in the middle of my trip.
