Nice in review

Nice was splendid. Truly, it was great to get far far away from the university and relax. So I know why you're here... you want pictures. Let's get going.

It seems as though every city that I've visited in France has at least one large artistic fountain...

Castle Hill by day and by night. Once upon a time there was a large castle perched on top of this hill, but it was destroyed by the bastard son of some king or other. From on top of this hill, you get incredible views of the sea, the city, and the mountains (those pictures coming up soon).

The Promenade des Anglais by day and by night. The Promenade des Anglais runs for 5 km along the Mediterranean shore. During the the day, it is full of people walking, rollerblading, skateboarding, and biking. At night, it's slightly more peaceful. On the other side of the roadway you find all of the casinos and resort hotels.

un petit papillon. The nice kind. Not the spoiled little white dog kind.

La Vielle Ville (the old village) by day and by night. Really cool, kinda medieval...

Weird head statue / office building... very strange and confusing.
