Well, the long rainy trip was worth it. The place on the beach in Nice is everything is was supposed to be, and it's fast and easy to get to Monaco. I actually had a helicopter flight booked in to Monaco tonight but will have to cancel it... I'm just too tired. I'll go tomorrow for F1 practice.
Weather is great here. The rain really sucked on the way here. We spent lots of time on the tarmac at both BWI and JFK. At JFK at one point the pilot said "only 25 more planes ahead of us and then we'll be taking off". Amazingly we made up over an hour of delay "in the air". We experienced some impressive turbulence... passengers were literally screaming out in terror. I enjoyed it, turbulence is fun.
Next to me on the flight was the director of No Subtitles Necessary ( and here) which was selected to premier at Cannes. The film in a documentary about the great boom of Hungarian directors (which produced Close Encounters, Easy Rider, Deer Hunter, etc.) Great guy to talk to. He was also kind enough to extend an in invite for the screening and the afterparty tomorrow. What luck!
Driving in Nice is a love/hate proposition for me. I love how nutty it is (scooters will pass each other on the side walk 3 abreast), but parking is the stuff of nightmares. I first rented a turbo charged Fiat, which I liked, but it was too big to park in Old Town, Nice, so I traded it for something I can't even identify. ;-) HINT: It has a logo that looks like how you draw seagulls in the distance in a sunset.
