Cefalu (or Cefalu’ or Cefalù) is a pretty, well-kept coastal town with a great beach and great views

Tourists love this place which I guess is why we’re here

Of course we are not tourists, we are « flâneurs »

The large Mesolithic rocks behind us were assembled by the Greeks as a fortress 2800 years ago

Headed to the airport. Goodbye Palermo, goodbye Sicily, goodbye Italy. Until next time.

Nous avons arrivés dans notre petite appartement à Nice.

I’mma work on my French while we’re here! Two years of daily Duolingo have graduated me from « je ne parle pas français » to « je parle français comme le bébé »

Anyway, here’s the view from our apartment window on a rainy day.

We arrive in France on a national holiday, and it’s also an anniversary for us: start of week four of our trip. We slept in eight different beds, hauling a hundred pounds (46 kg) of luggage across southern Italy and Sicily, but are finally settled down for a couple weeks in Nice, with our own kitchen and a washing machine (omg no laundry for three weeks is a challenge!).

We found an open boulangerie, bought a baguette that was still warm and delighted to the crunch, the smell, and the taste as we nibbled at le croûton on our way back from the bakery.

In Sicily, almost all the overheard street chatter was in Italian, with German the most common foreign language. Not so in Nice, where you hear people speaking English all over the place, in cafes, shops, and on the street.

no cars!

peterhoneyman,
@peterhoneyman@a2mi.social avatar

actually there’s a lot of cars in the places where cars are allowed but there are many blocks filled only with people

it’s nice here (ha ha how many times can i make that stupid joke)

our neighborhood is dense residential, mostly six-story or so. we’re in one of them, on the second floor. all the older buildings have shops on the ground floor, so there are bakeries, pâtissières, butchers, dentists, second-hand clothing shops, nail and hair salons, plumbing supply, basically everything.

Anyone else love this stuff? I probably wouldn't drink it as my everyday coffee, but there are days when it absolutely hits the spot (especially if you brew it on the strong side in a French press)

@peterhoneyman@a2mi.social avatar

@ffg I do like it. Do you like Cafe Bustelo? El Pico?
