First week

   After a long flight over the Atlantic and a few days spent in Grasse (near Cannes), we finally made it to Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, our temporary new home. On a sunny day, this place looks like a summer paradise smack in the middle of winter. I haven't seen water this blue in quite a while.

Our little apartment is adorable and actually larger than I had expected. A woman's touch in the decor is pretty evident: the walls are painted baby pink, my bedroom is apparently safari themed (animal print everywhere), and cutesy trinkets and wall decorations seal the deal . We're only about an 8-minute walk from the Mediterranean sea (as well as the train station), and all other necessities are nearby. Now, if only we could find some temporary work...

Here are a few random photos of our daily outings in town and by the water.

A few days ago, we walked to Monaco. No joke, we walked to Monaco. It's about a two-hour walk on a path that follows the "cap" (cape). It was beautiful! You can see Monaco in one of the photos below. Fun fact: palm trees and cacti seem to thrive here, so we get a little piece of home/Arizona!
