Arrived in Cannes. We felt great after arriving from NYC to Nice. We decided to save money & take the bus from Nice to Cannes. Easy enough and we Cannes to the apartment. We could have omitted the taxi in the end and walked but with luggage ; we all know about hindsight.

We watched the sunset in the cafe next door. Our biggest problem here would be drinking and walking NOT drinking and driving.  

I recognized Catherine's father. Catherine is the owner of the flat   Also sitting at the cafe was Juliette, the woman who have us the key and orientated us to the place.  The owner also knew then so already a local !  Just love that. The owner knew English well; he went to college in Houston in the late 80's in Houston. But alas he dropped out to play professional beach volley ball. And yet another conincidence; did you know the famous Walsh family from California.?  Well of course!  He knew of them really. Everyone who plays volley ball seriously knows they family. 

These interactions, experiences with people makes my world so small and intimate. When the world is small and intimate(for Jerry &I ) it creates this feeling of gratitude, a fortune of life, kindness, happiness, humor etc
