clouds

It's a dark rainy day to my left and bright and sunny to my right. Somehow, I was lucky enough to stay near the edge of the clouds the whole walk to the grocery store and enjoy both sides. 

honorat & cannes

This morning we headed down to Cannes to catch a ferry over to Île Saint-Honorat, home to wine making monks since the 5th century, and a lovely island to spend a few hours walking.

Just like yesterday, the sun came out in the mid afternoon as we returned to Cannes.

We wandered by the boats, watched some boulles, and found a seat to enjoy the water and gawk at all the people passing by (this is especially fun in Cannes). I'm so excited to come back in the fall for the Nice to Cannes marathon - running along the coast is going to be spectacular.
