A day out on our day off...

November 11 here is a national holiday, Armistice Day (Veterans' Day in the US). We had the day off, so I made plans with my friend Sari to go out for a walk to the lighthouse on the Cap d'Antibes.


Le phare

We had gorgeous weather that day. Sunny with just a bit of a cool breeze blowing. It was really nice in the sun, but quite coolish in the shade.

She met me at my apartment in the old town and then we walked towards the Cap, stopping for a quick coffee on the way. The walk to the lighthouse is not too long, only 10 minutes or so from street level, but it's really nice. There is a church on the hill as well and the views are really nice.

Afterwards, we walked over to Juan les Pins and met one of Sari's friends for lunch on the beach. We had to wait about 35 minutes for a table, but it was worth it because the day was gorgeous and the food really good.

I was too lazy to take photos at lunch, so you'll have to take my word for it! :-)
