Miss Maayan had a long day as you can see ;-) ... good night, laila tov, my wonderful family !

From your wonderful family ! 

26th of August ... beach and sun all the time ... but today nothing like that at all ;-). We're heading to the Mercantour ... around Tende ... .

Mercantour... enchanted name... for an enchanted place. The "Mercantour National Park is a jewel of preserved nature, just one hour away from the mediterranean sea. It has peaks reaching over 3000 m, many glacial lakes and six valleys, each with its unique character ...". We walked until the "Lac des grenouilles" "Frogs' lake" ... air and space ...

"Musée des Merveilles" "Museum of Wonders" ... Archeology and Ethnology ... so interesting ! 5000 years history of engravings explained and shown of the most beautiful ones in a very high technical museum.

Such a pity that we were not allowed to make pictures !!! So, don't miss it and click on the link above ! Lot's of love and have a nice day, my wonderful family !

From your wonderful family !

25th of August ... so sunny and nice day ! What are we doing today ?! Well, how can you go to the Côte d'Azur without passing through Eze-Village ???!

Welcome to the most charming hilltop village in south of France :

Refreshing us at the beach in Nice ! 

It's time to rest now ! Good night, laila tov, my wonderful family !

From your wonderful family !

24th of August ... Today : soft day ! Anyway it's so hot, that you can't do much ! So what is better than to go to the swimming pool ?! There's a very nice one outdoor in Levens. Let's just jump into the refreshing blue water ... and enjoy !!!

And the "first" professional swim lessons given to Miss Maayan by professor Omer, click on the pictures !

Good night, laila tov, my wonderful family !!!

From your wonderful family ! 

Castagniers is a very small hilltop village 20 km away from Nice. Charming, calm (hum, well definitely not in Omer's opinion ... to be waken up every day at 7:00 AM by the church steeple, just "over" our heads ... drove him quite a bit crazy ! :-) ). Our lodging was indeed an ancient rectory, yes ! Simple and clean : fridge, microwave, TV and laundry machine, that's fairly enough for us. Only is was very, very hot at our arrival ... even for our wonderful Mama. But after we opened every window, well, then it was bearable.

Now, when it's hot what do you feel like doing ???! Isn't swimming the best way to cool down ?! So we decided to go to Monaco. Sun, sea, sand, yachts, casino and cars ... what more you can ask ?!

Which kind of yachts would you like ?! Hum, we like all of them. The cars are not bad neither ...

We're on the way to the palace ... from there we have a great view over the Monaco bay.

And tonight, what a chance ! it's the final of the international musical fireworks competion in Monaco. We didn't know ... what a great surprise ! Look, even in in the news of today they spoke about it !!! And for more information, click here ! This year the "Jacques Couturier Organisation society" (France) won the competition ... and that's the one we saw !!!!

that's fair ... half half ;-). Aba went with Omer, Mai and Maayan to visit the ski resort in Orres. Mama and Tomer stood home to clean the appartment ... . What sacrifice ... but when you love, you don't count, right ?! So it seems that is was great fun to take the cable car and have then a great, gorgeous view over the nature ...

Back home, we had all lunch together ... than direction even more south ... . We're heading to "Castagniers", a small village, 20 km from Nice away. Côte d'Azur we're arriving ! Good night, laila tov, my wonderful family !

From your wonderful family !

21th of August ... today we're going to walk until the "Cascade de la Pisse", something like the "Pouring waterfall", the translation is more or less wrong, what do you want, it's difficult to translate names and you don't do that normally, hum ? So why we do ? Anyway, it was great with or without translation :)). Such a beautiful, peacefully walk, with so many beautiful things to see ...

Small brook, just next to our path ... butterflies having fun in the sun ... and tired Omer ... :)).

So near to our aim ...

All alone in such a beautiful place ... divine ...

One word ... she's fresh !!!

We enjoyed so much ...

After we left the "Cascade de la Pisse", we continue our way to the dam of "Serre Ponçon" ...

Mama loves the colour combination ... it all fits to the background ... what do you want ... through an artist's eye ... everything is possible.

And before it's getting totally dark ... quick a jump to the "Demoiselles décoiffées" ...

What a day, right ?! It's true we have a lot of energy and we want just to share it with you, my wonderful family. For now, good night, sleep well ... laila tov ... and sweet dreams, lot's of love,

From your wonderful family !

20th of August ... Digne-Les-Bains is known for its thermae, which treat breathing problems and rhumatism, but we didn't go for that ! It has a famous museum, if you interested in geology : the "Musée - Promenade" "Museum - Walk path". So interesting ! You learn when the different earth plates got separated, the different evolution periods, what happened to the earth 1 million, 2 millions years ago and what might happen in the future !

Fossiles, stones, dinosaurs, limulidae, nautiles ...Tomer is overwhelmed ... . Wow ! We don't hear any teenager complains. This is just great ! Have a look into their website ... a mine of information !

Aquariums ... and a japanese garden ... Mama is in her element ...

Lunch-time !!! Mmmmh, simply meal, but very tasty ! The waiter was nagging Mama : "The sun disappear since you arrive !" Normal ! Mama's smile makes even the sun jealous ! Nananananère ! Ätschibätsch ! Chincharavincha !

On the way back home, we past by a canyon ... and "La baie Saint Michel" with its chapel, idyllic and so beautiful !!!

Quick meal, news ... for the weather forecast ... and then "dodo !" Tomorrow is going to be a long day ... we're going to discover a waterfall, the Serre Ponçon's dam and ... you'll see ! Good night, laila tov, my wonderful family !

From your wonderful family !
