French apartment renovations, Day 563: Cleaning & swimming

4,543 steps

We had a morning of cleaning. Then...fun! We drove to a friend's house in Menton. They live high up on the hillside above the Old Town. Across the narrow valley is a cemetery. The valley leads into the ocean and up into the foothills of the Alps. What a stunning setting. I am definitely having garden/terrace envy. In Old Nice, we don't even have a little balcony. I do miss having outdoor space. Sometimes I want to go outside without going "outside," you know?

Our friends live in this sprawling apartment building that climbs up the hillside over 12+ stories. The complex has a funicular to get up and down between levels. So it's like an amusement park built in! 

We swam, ate pizza, and swam some more. We finally had to tear the kids away so I could get home in time for a Zoom meeting. 



We came home loaded with leftover pizza and banana bread and lemon cake. And I also made two spinach & ricotta tarts so we have loads of food.
