It's our last full day before flying to London to see a college buddy and his great family. I can't wait to show the kids Buckingham Palace and all that. I haven't seen it myself in years and years. I hear it's pissing rain (as they say there) while here on the Cote d'Azur the weather couldn't be more heavenly.

We spend the morning in the St. Tropez market. You have to get there before ten to get a parking spot but once there it's amazing. Everyone from all the neighboring towns descends on Place des Lices. It's Bastille Day today, the start of the French holiday season and there will be fireworks on the beach tonight. Cris and I will be having dinner on the beach so should get a great view. I'm not ready to go home but I guess all good things must come to an end.
