Group Dinner

Tuesday, April 12 2011.

The Institut arranged a group dinner tonight at a local restaurant near the port in Villefranche-sur-Mer.  Most of the students were able to attend.  Here are some of the home countries represented by the students.

USA, Canada, Sweden, Japan.

Switzerland, Canada, Oman.

Brazil, Romania, Norway.  Julian is on the right; he is one of the instructors.

South Africa, USA.

After dinner, two of the instructors decided to entertain us with their guitars and voices.  There were pretty good with their songs in both French and English.  Stephane on the left, Julian on the right.   

When the dinner was over, I discovered that the last bus from Villefranche to Nice had already gone by - several hours before that, actually.  So here we go on yet another hike over the mountain, back to the apartment.  Took about an hour to walk home.  Nice evening.  No rain, no traffic, no muggers, while strolling along the Moyenne Corniche at midnight.

    Mike,
    Gabrielle and I where catching up on your blog tonight. Looks like you are having a grand time out there. We were talking and we remembered back in 2007 when we where there we stayed in a town called Vence a bit outside the city. There was a really cute little town called St. Paul de Vence up there that you might want to adventure to if you get a chance. We also really like Renoir's house in Nice, lots a beautiful impressionist paintings and some good history. Anyhow, have fun, can't wait to hear the stories.
