26 September 2025 Nice: Old Town, Picking Up Lou and Dinner

 


Our friend Lou was due to arrive at 5 PM at the train station.  We cleaned up the place a bit in the morning, went out for more essentials and had a tasty lunch in the Old Town.  the lunch was in a small bistro that had very funny caricatures in the tiles on the walls.  Leslie and I walked to the train station but the train was 35 minutes late so we had to cool our jets for a while.  We watched so many people sneak into the train station by tailgating a paying passenger through the turnstiles.  How many of them were going to sneak on a train or do some pickpocketing while they were in the station?  We re-grouped at the apartment and headed out to la Cantina de Meme.


We walked along the promenade
