Turned 38 yesterday. Didn’t have a birthday celebration, but no special additions are needed when bouncing around France with my Dad. We had just spent the previous several days looking around Nice, The French Alps, Monaco, and even grabbed some gelato in San Remo, Italy.

Later that evening we met up with a some of my Dad’s friends for dinner – a married couple, one American, one Tunisian French, that published a journal of their adventures in Paris several years ago. I read and enjoyed their book and so the evening was a super treat: a wonderful home-cooked four-course meal, good wine, and great conversation with some charming locals.

My Dad gave me a perfect gift: a patchwork teddy bear decorated with prehistoric rock engravings.

The trip is almost over!
