It’s that time of the year again, something I used to look forward to, but do so less and less with each passing year… Yes, that’s right, the dreaded birthday… It being on St. Patrick’s Day tends to make it hard work as well ;-). We decided to celebrate this occasion in Nice. After a rather busy day of opening pressies (yes, I opened them a bit early, I have to admit…), taking my parents to the airport etc. we eventually made it to Nice.
Our original plan was to meet up with Mikko and Marianne at a swanky restaurant in the old town called Le Meranda – but turns out it’s closed on weekend (must be pretty good if they can afford to stay closed during the weekend…). So we opted for an Italian restaurant in Cours Salyea instead – where I had an impressive-sized and –tasting plate of pasta, followed by an even more impressive-sized bowl of chocolate (put it like this – I didn’t manage to finish it!).
Afterwards we headed to Ma Nolan’s (where else?) to have a few pints of Guinness in St. Paddy’s honour (and mine?). Sami and Pete joined us for the merriment, having seen Nice triumph in the Ice Hockey 2nd division semi-finals! Ismael and Youcef also popped over for quick chats….
