| St Paul-de-Vence, this is whole village. |
It has been quite a while, in fact, almost two months, since I last updated my blog. I must admit that when sometimes I feel like writing, and the idea is brewing, I will start out looking for the appropriate pictures in my iPhoto for the story I am about to tell. Most of the time, while browsing the pictures, instead of deciding on one aspect of the travel destination to write about, I will instead, reminisce the joy being there. As if I am walking through the streets in India, in Italy, in South Africa and in so many wonderful where I left my footsteps behind.
The memories are so vivid most of the times because I spend time walking, observing, feeling the presence of everything that is there at the moment. Even cramping into a bus that is full of people, that is already so memorable.

This is the little place I so fondly remember as I go through my pictures. A place nestled between Nice and the French Riviera, close to Cannes, is the small fortress village of St Paul-de-Vence. The village is so quaint and so charming, walking on the cobbled stone becomes a fun thing to do. Marveling at the shops with little doors and artistic display of their goods are a great pastime. Then move around the fort enclosed village to find a corner with small old-fashioned chairs and tea-tables, order a glass of the local wine or a latte and a piece of chocolate fondant cake, a specialty of St Paul.
That will be a beautiful day spent in the confines of the picturesque and peaceful village.
