Being a Tourist

We are all tourists, of course. And for the last few days I've been acting as a tourist where I now live. My son is visiting me in St Andre and my ex-wife stayed for a few days and we did all the standard sort of things.

The little train makes it easy to visit surrounding villages and to have a 'full' lunch without having to worry about driving. The Verdon is a nice, cool place to be in the heat of the afternoon. Fortified villages abound here - this was the boundary between France and Italy. And the hiking is pretty special when you get into the Mercantour; we did a gentle family one plus a more 'sporty' 3000m peak.
