feeling blah

Feeling kinda blah today. Maybe it's the weather. Maybe it's the fact that our Block Island plans are finally set for July 4th week and I'm realizing how far away that is. Way too far.

I'm also listening to The Verve-Urban Hymns which always reminds me of our honeymoon in Nice and our wonderful stay at Chateau Eza. Oh how glorious it was. Pure luxury and relaxation.

The village of Eza precedes the Romans and was one of their strongholds. It clings to the cliff 1,300 feet above the azure Mediterranean. 400 year-old Château Eza (reached only by donkey) has kept its ancient charm despite the addition of 21st century comforts and facilities. A night spent in any of the luxurious bedrooms is to come face-to-face with history. The guestrooms are reached by walking under stone passageways, up steps, past cave-like shops and restaurants. This is a proper hideaway and one much celebrated: 'The second most romantic restaurant in the world' says Barbara Brass's Romantic Hideaway Survey. 'Retreat of the year' wrote Andrew Harper. The dining room and the cliff-top terrace offer magnificent views of the sea by day, enchanting sunsets and a galaxy of glittering lights of the Riviera coast by night.
