Wednesday, July 3
After traveling for over two weeks, we were exhausted and decided to sleep in without an alarm. Although we had a late morning, it was refreshing to catch up on sleep and have a relaxing morning in our comfortable apartment. At noon, we ventured out into the streets of Cannes and made our way to Les Apprentis Gourmands where we had a reservation for a cooking class. Fortunately, it was in English, and our cooking teacher was friendly, funny, and helpful. We took the class with another couple from Norway, but who also spoke perfect English because they had both attended college (on skiing scholarships) in Colorado and Utah. They were extremely friendly and as you can imagine, we talked about skiing and the best places to go in Europe (Emily and I have both dreamed of skiing the Alps someday). The other guest in our cooking class was a French lady who was also very friendly, but mostly talked to Emily since her English was limited. During the class, we collectively cooked Ratatouille and Salmon. After dishing it up and finishing the presentation of the dish, we took it upstairs to eat and chat while the chef of the class made us dessert. The meal was delicious and our dessert of chocolate lava cake with homemade caramel whip cream was INCREDIBLE.
Accidentally cut her finger just a little:
Voila!!
That afternoon we drove to Frejus, another cute little French town. We enjoyed walking around, looking at the markets, an old church, and as we walked past a small, open door, we heard music. We snuck down the stairs into a stone cellar-like room and quietly walked closer to the music. When someone saw us, they were very friendly and invited us to listen to their rehearsal. The here older men played drums, guitar, and keyboard/broke out a saxophone halfway through, while a younger woman sang (really well!). We listened for awhile, then walked back out, ate dinner at a frommagerie, then drove home.
Hey Dad, look at the really cool tennis ball art sculpture I got for you! ;)
