On the promenade at night

 







I don't know how you get to the secret city.

Down on the Promenade Anglais the sun is bright even in the pouring rain. This city is pretty with all its makeup and nice clothes. But it also smells like pee and cracks run through every inch of it. So I took a picture later in the night than we usually manage to be out. The Carnaval wall was still up along the beach, but it was a quiet night. It had the nice look of a wrong turn in Venice. I wanted to get a picture, but in the darkness it didn't seem likely.

I managed to smuggle this one out.

I think this place looks better just as it really is.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
