At 7:17 p.m. this past Wednesday, the streets in Nice were still busy with tourists looking for a place to eat. The Mirador in the foreground appears to have one free table (it was taken seconds after I took this photo). On the left is the Orange store where we waited in line to get our first iPhones. We are in the Rue Masséna, named after one the most famous people born here, French military commander Jean-André Masséna (1758-1817) whose biography reads like an adventure novel. Many things in Nice are named after Masséna, from the largest high-school to the largest square in the center of town. While writing this entry, I came across the curious fact that there is a village in New York State named after Masséna! Who said blogging wasn’t educational?
