Cannes Film Festival May 2005

I'm having a great time here. Been eating a lot and drinking a lot of French wine. The weather has been up and down. Had shower yesterday afternoon and Saturday afternoon. Everyone was on the beach everyday nonetheless. I visited the new Casino Sunday night and tried the Roulette wheel (no luck) so I guess I'll still have to go back to work when I return (ha ha). I never did find a converter for my electrical appliances. I have been trying to find one here but no luck. Dan Dennis and his wife got in yesterday from the Island of Capri, Italy. They spent a week there before coming here. We hung out last night for dinner.

I still haven't been to Cannes yet because the weather has been kind of damp there. We are going to go over tomorrow for the Opening Day ceremonies and the opening film The DaVinci Code.

My France Itinerary May 2005

I had good flight most of he way. It was bumpy for about an hour after we left Boston, but was smooth all they way into Paris. Making the connection in Paris was backed up because of security, so they held our plane to Nice for about an hour. Still got into Nice at 9 30 a.m. Saturday morning. The weather is warm and people are already on the beach. It's 11 a.m. in the morning here (5 a.m. where you are) and I am waiting for my apartment to be cleaned. Should be ready in a few minutes. I can't wait to get in bed.

I will be at
