Today, I bought an air conditioner off an English website of ex pats in the area. I drove to Villenfranche via the road that cuts through nice and up the Moyen Carniche. The middle road...not by the sea and not by the highway. The views were spectacular. I took a few pics.
The couple lived way atop the cliff in Villenfranche in an apartment building called Le Orangerie. They were an Irish couple with a very noble looking dog named Sybil . Sybil was some type of aristocratic spaniel that belonged in a Rembrandt painting...she was French. The couple, were very nice, but barely there. They seemed to have very little personality. They did have all kinds of fancy old school framed photos of their wedding in B&W ....you know, those funny English photos that couples take...kind of traditional I suppose. They had a fantastic view of the bay and down to VillenFranche. Out on their bare terrace were blooming blue agapanthus against the blue sky. They had made an air conditioned den in the bedroom for Sybil and she hung out there.
I returned home and rushed to see if I could get in the community pool. Sadly , it had closed at 1pm on a Sunday...so it taunted me from behind the gate with its aqua beauty. When I got back to my house I unloaded the big AC. I could hear the people on the other side of the fence swimming in their pool. It's making me crazy. Everywhere is so crowded , people are swimming at night. Even the river is packed. It's very frustrating and is not going to end anytime soon.
For sure, I will not live here next summer.
Kate is freaked out by the AC. How do you tell her that its a good thing and not anything scary.
They escaped tonight and ran down to Madame L's house. Emile had a grand time and even visited the sweet but protective giant dog Leo, at the dead pool house. There was no trouble , which was nice.
