Day 11-Firstly, I would like to give a shout out to those women who kept all of their swimsuits on despite what other sunbathers were doing. I know we’re in France, and I’m not dissing their customs or anything, but I’m unused to the fact that women sunbathe topless here. Today we went to the beach, as I’m sure you’ve guessed by now. The rocky, sandless beach. We went to the private section, where there was like no talking. But we did get chairs and umbrellas with our 16 euro package. There were also waiters who walked around catering to your every whim. Sweet! Ellery dragged me in the (freezing) water straight away to build a ‘rock castle’. I did the best I could, but there was no way humanly possible that you could make anything remotely like a castle. Ellery thought an area of pebbles would help us fill in the cracks, but the sea just washed them away. After a bit, I got tired and went hunting for interesting rocks. There was a rock that was striped all over with white: it was awesome! After that, I settled down to read the book I got at Waterstones. It was very good. Dad kept popping in and out to juggle work, relaxation, and a missing phone (left in Orsos in London). He attempted to take Ellery (unavailable for comment during this blog due to fatigue) in the water, and I went with them, but we had to turn back because Ellery swallowed too much seawater or something. We all napped, then Ellery and I had ice cream. Later we claimed hunger again, because we had skipped breakfast (woke up late) and got french fries. Yum! After going out a few more times, we showered up and went a delicious seafood place. They had a three scoop sorbet where you could pick your flavors: HEAVEN! Sadly, we leave Nice tomorrow, but we got some cool commemorative t-shirts. Mine is white and black striped. It’s super cute, and has a little anchor on it-dad says it means attitude. Hmph.
