another day in nice

So today was our second day in nice. We awoke to angry Asians and a very filling breakfast. It was pretty much the same as all hostels offered but somehow todays seemed to be bigger. Weird. But after a late breakfast we changed and got ready for our very busy day. Being extremely subburnt from yesterday, none of us really felt like going to the beach. We walked through old nice a little, noticing how it was Sunday so next to nothing would be open. We decided to take a long lunch at a cafe. We ordered our drinks and then our food which was pizza and pasta. The waitress took our plates almost immediately after we finished eating but then she asked if we want the check or coffee or anything but we planned on getting desert so we asked for a few minutes. A few minutes turned into an hour and we got the idea that it was a game they play with the Americans. Are how long it takes the Americans to say something to get their desert, or something weird like that. But three and a half hours later, we left the cafe feeling very full and confused. We had some time to kill so we walked up a beautiful hill which I think we have pictures of that may be up. But the buildings were multi colored and it was amazing. We sat and relaxed a little before heading to the market for dinner and snack supplies. It being Sundays and with no luck on our side, of course it was closed. We headed back to the hostel, very exhausted from our day, and have crashed hard since. We are in the process of going to bed and it seems like we will all sleep well. Have a wonderful day and you will hear from us tomorrow.

    Glad to hear that you all had an easy day and a leisurely lunch. Hated to miss your call yesterday but am glad you got to talk to Dad. I hope you get another chance to go to old town when it is all open. How long are you staying in Nice and where are you going next?
    lovies,
    Trina

    Ah, the excellence of European wait service. We had some really great bad service in a cafe in a department store in Paris. Nobody can convey repressed but total hatred like a French waiter who’s been asked to, you know, wait.
