Lovely Awkward: A Year of Wine, Romance and Life Among the French

Lovely Awkward: A Year of Wine, Romance and Life Among the French

Friday 17 January 2014

The roads are crumbling!


I was scolded by the French daycare yesterday because I was five minutes late dropping off my son. I hadn't realized that could happen! It had been raining and raining and getting him in and out of the car had been way more time consuming than usual -- it's not a big excuse, but it's a true one. They told me that if I were late again, they'd make me take my son back home!

So, this morning I set out with the goal of being not too early (I've had problems with that before, too :) or at all late. I was very, very lucky to make it on time... after having to drive through THIS in the rain:






And, my area got off lightly! Here's a video of some of the very impressive damage around the collines of Nice. The scary part, other than the obvious, immediate danger, is that there are houses perched on top of these hills -- some just above the landslides! (My photos are NOTHING compared to this!)
