Myriam's birthday

September is probably the best time of the year to enjoy the Cote d'Azur. The weather is still fantastic, but not too hot, and most of the tourists have left (not that I have anything against tourists - I'm quite frequently an active tourist myself!). And today was pretty much a perfect September day - the sun was shining, the skies were blue and so forth.

So, obviously, we decided to grab a pair of Velo Bleus and go to Cap 3000 for some shopping (??). The shopping bit done, we made our way back towards Cagnes-sur-Mer, walking by the seaside. Our walked happened just so happened to take us past one of our favourite restaurants - Le Dame Nature, so we decided to have lunch there. And we were not disappointed - the food was just as delicious as we could remember from our previous visit. Good, local (often organic) ingredients, excellent fish, good service, everything was just spot on. Should you ever find yourselves in Saint-Laurent-du-Var, this is the place to go!

After that, we decided to just lie down on the beach - something we've not been doing too much this year. Just the perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon this time of the year, yes indeed...

For the evening, 'twas off to Sophia Antipolis to celebrate Myriam's (Mathilde's ex-colleague) birthday. The venue indeed measured up to the occasion - Fabian organized the party at Air France's (where he works) party facilities. Pretty much everything needed for a good part was at our disposal - loads of food & booze, great people, music and even a table football!

I was quite a sight - our attire was supposed to include a "chic" or "chock" detail - since chic isn't really my style, I decided to wear my "charming" Jimmy hat (put it like this - last time I wore it was during Halloween!). I'm sure it made an impression on people (I shan't specify what kind of impression). Anyways, we really had a blast - merci Fabien et Myriam pour une super fete!
