Wednesday in Antibes

Today was a pretty low-key day. It was a nice change of pace.

This morning Tante Juliette, Pere and I went out for fresh croissants for breakfast, usually just Juliette and I do it. We also went to the Farmer's Market and Pere bought some chicken and vegetables to make for dinner.

After breakfast Grand-pere, Tante Juliette, Pere, Z and I went to the Fort Carre on the other side of the Marina.



It was built on what was once a Greek (then Roman) temple to Hermes (then Mercury( back when Antibes was Antipolos. Z and I pretended to be Greeks bringing an offering to Hermes so that he would deliver a special message for us.



After sight-seeing we had crepes, savory and sweet, for lunch.

Then we went to the local Archeological museum that housed a lot of Roman artifacts. Z loved it and was disappointed it that it was only two rooms. She was hoping it would be bigger "like the Louvre."

Then Pere, Z and I wandered around the town for a bit and took Z back to the park to play for awhile.



In the evening we ate dinner on the rooftop patio. It was so nice!
