Today in Antibes

Today, we went to Antibes.  Antibes is a city not unlike Nice, but smaller and more intimate.  Somehow the town seemed more familiar, though I have never been there before.  First we went shopping in a little farmers market type of thing.  Then we got lunch, we all had some kind of sandwich.  We sat in a little courtyard between the Picasso Museum and a church, which was actively performing baptisms. (there were at least 3 while we were there)
After lunch, we went to the Picasso museum.  I would share my opinion on his art, but some may not agree with it.  Some of the other artists that were included in the museum were interesting.

Once we left the museum we walked about a half an hour to a beautiful beach town, where we boarded a boat with windows in the hull and watched underwater or about an hour.  It was quite interesting.  Then we went to the beach, and swam in beautifully warm water, however, the beach was very crowded.
Finally, we went to dinner at a very nice restaurant.  I was not courageous enough to get muscles like several others, but enjoyed the meal nonetheless.  After that we walked around for 45 minutes to kill time before the train arrived.  There was lots of jewelry and souvenirs on a temporary market along the  closed street.  On the train ride back we told jokes and enjoyed the down time, which brought us home.
Goodnight.
