So I am WAY excited that I've been able to go to France for work. Every year, the company goes in October and April. This year, I get to go and I have to say it is SO BEAUTIFUL here in Cannes. The Palais, where the trade show is going to take place, is right on the beach and the area is known as Cote d'Azur, which means azure coast. It's beautiful and the weather has been very nice. It has been in the 70s!
Yesterday, after 18 hours of flying, we went straight to the Palais to set up. My sister, Tammy, said it is best to just stay awake and go to bed at a normal hour in France. So I went to bed at about 10:30 PM and I feel fine now. Maybe a little tired, but nothing more than usual. After we set up at the Palais, we went to La Pizza, which my boss said has the best pizza in the world. He was right! The pizza was AMAZING! It was very cheesy and extremely DELICIOUS! The trick is that they use 1/2 mozzarella and 1/2 swiss. It gives it a really unique flavor. Then they cook it in a wood-burning stove. So if you are ever in Cannes, make sure to check the place out. You won't be disappointed.
Today we went to Carrefour, a Walmart-like store that is HUGE. To give you an idea of how big, they have 73 cashiers. And ALL were working! We got some food, some of which I will eat and some I will likely pass on. I told Gil that I would TRY a BITE of rabbit and I might try skate (stingray), but he got me some steak and a frozen pizza to eat on those days. I also had to get a hair straightener because the transformer I brought did NOT work for it. I plugged it in and went upstairs to get dressed and when I came back, the ceramic plates on it had melted off the device! So I had to buy a European-friendly one for like $58. At least I'll have one for next time I'm here!
