Para - What?

As we sat at lunch a guy asked us if we wanted to parasail around the bay. Marissa jumped on it! Tai was worried about her back (since her back surgery) -- and more importantly -- her being in a mini dress. But Marissa assured her it would be an easy take-off and landing...SOOOO --















Lunch (One of Our Favorite Things)





As we strolled along the beach, we came across the most beautiful beach club we hadn't seen before - The Majestic. Of course it's the one Greg recommended we go to from the start. Arriving with hunger pains from no coffee or breakfast, we were ready for one of the huge gorgeous and delicious salads we had been having. We thought we were having a salad with Shrimp, avocado and crab but what came out was even more amazing. The avocado had been blended into a delicious mousse then layered with crab and shrimp. Soooooo good. Cannes opened our eyes (and mouths) to new flavors from the sea, especially through their beautiful salads.











Everywhere film festival pictures -- Tai's mom would love this!

Then on the Plage (French for Beach) for lunch...







On the way to lunch...


Tai had to get a picture for her mom in front of the Cannes Film Auditorium.

What We Saved....





...was our last day to shop! All of the things we had seen and couldn't stop thinking of and we knew we "had to have" so we were ready to charge. And of course Marissa's mom had reminded her enough times she had to "remember her sister". So we hit to streets. Every day at lunch the streets become a ghost town. All the shops close for lunch so we had become used to that. So when it was an eerily quiet ghost town. We didn't think much about it. So we decided to take a stroll through our favorite streets and then eat lunch before we shopped. We did run into a few locals buying bread.
