Grand Prix and Cannes Film Fest

At the Nice airport now about to fly up to Amsterdam.  Been some more amazing days in the south of France with the Monaco Gran Prix going on, and the Cannes Film Fest.  Got to partake in both and keep living with the rich and famous in the Cote D'Azur.

The sound of the F1 cars was crazy.  Flying around hairpin curves and racing through a tunnel along the sea in one of the most classic and shortest courses out there.  After the F1 cars, some supped up Porches had a go.  Loads of sweet cars around the Monte Carlo area.  Limited editions all around, from Bentley to Maybach to Lamborghini, it was mighty impressive.  As was the beach.  Definitely a fan of the Mediterranean.

Cannes has a sweet promenade boardwalk plus loads of wanna-be stars.  Didn't get to see anyone major on the red carpet for the premiere of The Immigrant.  Tons of people all dressed to the nines trying to get tickets.  Tuxes all over the place, including the middle school kids trying to score a ticket.  Watched an old Jerry Lewis film on the beach afterwards to get some film viewing.  Solid time out.
