Nice, France
I almost missed the Cours Saleya food and flower market on my one day tour of Nice. Exiting the metro station, map in hand, I opted to travel on foot rather than hop the bus. Hardly a better way to get a feel for a city, even if (or maybe especially when?) you get lost. My only concern as I hopelessly wandered, shutter on the camera clicking away, was that the market closes in the early afternoon. True enough, by the time I found it, the fish vendor had nothing left but heaps of ice, vegetable vendors with baskets full of peppers, tomatoes, asparagus, garlic and more were all stacking their goods in small trucks, umbrellas were brought down and packed away. Still, I had enough time to enjoy the fresh and gorgeous flowers - seriously debating on carrying a bouquet around the rest of the day to take back to Alassio. My practical nature prevailed and I continue to enjoy the photos that are the only souvenirs I brought home.

Thank, Kim. It was a really nice day - I have a ton more photos to share, so keep coming back every week. Appreciate your support. Don’t forget, if there is anything you’d like me to take a picture of specifically for you, let me know, ok?

I will reach into that picture Paula and put a posy on the table today. Alassio is one of my favourite places.

Mine too - the only thing that would have been better is if we were there at the same time
Would make a pretty painting…don’t ya think?
