What a difference a day makes!! A good night’s sleep, a tasty breakfast and we were off on the bus buzzing about Nice on a bright sunny day. First Chagall whose entire collection here is all about illustrating the Old Testament but certainly a great representation of his work.

Proud of their longtime resident Matisse, Nice wants to pay tribute to him. Collages and later work is combined with lots of local kids work inspired by his line drawing, graphics and collages. Matisse is also buried next door.

Lunch in the old part of town with a restauranteur that specializes in olive oil. He will close down next week to travel about France for the most tasty of oils, use them in his restaurant and sell them on the internet at olivera.com. Just scrumptious.

Down along the Promenade de Anglais to watch a big international corporate sponsored catamarans race and then meandered our way back to the hotel.
