Yes, we are just oozing with charm and sophistication. Amy freestyles it with our favorite mannequin; I always like to put on my best manners when dining in public. It keeps me from looking ridiculous...
Nothing says Russia like a palm tree.
It seems that many wealthy Russian families liked to winter in Nice in the late 1800s. To provide for thier spiritual well-being, Czar Nicholas I's widow said, "Here, let me give you some land to build a church on. How about the spot where my house is sitting?" Czar Nicholas II gave the cathedral to the Nice Russians in 1912, but maybe he should have stayed a little longer?

I've been laying in the weeds just checking the blog every now and then, but the concentration of nieces in Nice has increased to the point feel I should comment . . . so I just did! Great pix and commentary; please post something reassuring for your Mom about Corsica. Guten Rutsch!

Hi Uncle D! How are the weeds looking? Countdown to the low-down on Corsica in about 24 hours...we like it so far! Hope the New Year in Kansas is super.
Love,
Monica (and Amy)
Monica......thank you for giving us such a terrific, vicarious travel experience! I've loved your pictures & your commentary. You are one gutsy-girl! (And.....I'm glad your mom & sister were able to join you. How about Dad?)

Hi, Em's mom! Thanks for visiting my blog! I still have several smiles a day compliments of the memories of Esie and Emily's visit.
Take care in Minnesota.
P.S. Well, we're working furtively to get Dad over to visit...CentCom, INTERPOL, and the Dept. of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks are all involved....
