There is no place on the Côte d’Azur we like better than Cannes, and so it’s no wonder that I am here a mere day after my arrival back in France. After a leisurely early dinner at La Piazza, I walked around in search of something to honor August 1, Swiss Independence Day (independence from Hapsburg, if you must know). Not only did I find a boat with a Swiss flag (unfortunately not flowing in the wind because there wasn’t any), but the Alligator is registered in Basel, too! What could be more fitting, then, than to make this today’s blog picture? As it turns out, I brought my laptop but not the cable that connects my iPhone to it, so I had to email myself the photo. I’m probably still suffering from jet lag...
