wednesday june 6.
Today was another fun day just discovering new things in Nice. We started by taking the bus to Old Nice and then walking to the produce and flower markets, definitely one of my favorite things to do.

| The Petit Ecolier mascot |
side note: We are a little obsessed with Petit Ecoliers. I can easily go through a box a day. I did a google search to try to find somewhere that I could buy them in the US, and came across a ridiculous article written by some pretentious English tea biscuit connoisseur about how much he hates them because of the gap in between the chocolate and the cookie. You can read that
here. (just promise to read it aloud in a British accent) We had some fun reading it out loud and laughing at all the times he used the word "whilst".
I love the little chalkboard signs at all the restaurants and markets.
We were looking for socca, a Nicoise specialty made from chick peas and olive oil, but by the time we found the vendor that Melissa's guide book recommended, they were packing up so we found an Italian restaurant to eat at instead and it was delicious.

| We shared spaghetti, socca, and bruschetta. |
 |
| this adorable little girl was playing by our table so we tried talking to her in french and then gave her some chocolate. |
Next we went on a tour of a candy Factory called Florian. If you are ever in Nice I would recommend it-they show you how they make gourmet chocolates and candied clementines and crystallized flowers and then they take you into this room full of all the free samples you would ever want.
 |
| even the toilet seats were covered in candy..haha |
|
 |
| right outside of the candy shop was an awesome flea market. perfection! |
 |
| it took a lot of self control not to buy that anchor. |
Afterwards we just walked home along the beach, chatting and taking everything in.
 |
| a little piece of home :) |
 |
| so many fun details to photograph! |
