Nice and Eze, continued

From Villefranche we took the bus to Nice and then to the village of Eze. In Nice we found one of those little shopping areas that are all tiny narrow little alleyways. It was SO FUN! A little old chainsmoking Frenchman made me a great espresso.


Then on to the village of Eze, it's situated up on a cliff and it's like a little walled in fortress all to itself. I felt like I was in a fairy tale town. It started POURING rain as soon as we got there which added to the mystique. We darted through the rain from doorway to doorway but we still got soaked.

Villefranche, Nice and Eze, France

This was a whirlwind day because we saw three adorable towns in one day. I would love to spend at least a day or two in each one. The port town is Villefranche. Lots of gorgeous scenery here.

Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona was our first stop and one of my favorite places. The variety of thousand-year-old and ultra-modern architecture is just amazing and there is art in the most unusual places. I could never get tired of just looking at the buildings and the streets and the little terraces.



This is a close up view of the Sagrada Familia, the church that was Gaudi's life work and is still under construction after 150 years. They say it will be done in 2026...haha

It's an amazing structure and photos just don't do it justice. It's really breathtaking in person. Pickpockets galore though! The lady right next to me was pickpocketed right as I was taking pictures. Bummer of a way to start a vacation.


This is a house designed by Gaudi. I like how the terraces sort of look like skulls.

This outdoor market had the most amazing goodies in it. Why didn't I get more!

Annnnd, a stop for some tapas and una cerveza grande.
