Do not play chicken with these guys -









When one climbs above the ice line, the proper clothing for a 30+MPH descent is crucial(this is supposed to be the highest paved road in Europe according to the signs) -

Andy,

The food and wine were flowing freely in France, so much so that I thought I would gain weight on the trip, but I didn't despite numerous snacks that included omelettes and real French fries. Of course there were also the huge buffet breakfasts each day and dinner spreads in the evenings.

I have about a hundred photos similar to the above but didn't want to tax the forum's patience. Our sheep experience was curious. After days of dodging sheep droppings on the road, we finally started running into flocks being driven on them. In a bizarre set of circumstances, we found ourselves one day uncomfortably surrounded by these creatures and were almost toppled amongst them as they continued moving forward oblivious to our presence. Those sheep were surprisingly nasty critters.

Beautiful photos, Tim. Larry and I really enjoyed them. The Promenade des Anglais.... the day of our arrival to the Cote d'Azure (back in 2003), we drove round and round (and round and round literally) in Nice and never did find our hotel there due to too many streets being closed because of a Triathalon. One of us lost patience ;-I and decided to do a driving trip that day so we wound up staying outside of Canne in Mandelieu/Le Napoule for our 5 nights. Still wound up visiting all the villes we intended to so it didn't wind up being half bad. Thanks for sharing your photos!

Cheri

Gregg,

Of course I brought my flyrod. It fit nicely in my golf bag nestled amongst the clubs. :-)
