It was cloudy all day yesterday and rained quite hard last night, but this morning we awoke to a glorious sunrise with just a sliver of a moon over Villa Rothschild across the bay. Yesterday we were caught in a low pressure area so the sea was at least a foot higher as the pressure elsewhere in the Mediterranean was high. Today the air pressure is a little higher but still lower than elsewhere so we still have high seas. There is also a very nice wind, perfect for sailing which many boats are doing.
This picture is taken from our balcony.
We played pétanque for a couple hours this morning with a group from the other places that our landlady rents. After a leisurely stroll through the Saturday market where we picked up some wonderful radishes and baby tomatoes we returned home for lunch. We did not stay inside for long as it was too beautiful a day, an incredible blue sky with just a wisp of cloud every now and then. The temperature is 60 degrees but the sun makes it feel much warmer.
We took a two hour stroll along the sea including a short stroll on the beach so that Jane could conquer a rock in the surf.
So perhaps now you understand why we love Villefranche-sur-mer.

Oh I understand all right. I've been understanding for awhile now. I love that place.
