Croissants

Friday morning I stopped at Starbucks on my way into the office. I picked up a latte and the Starbucks version of a "pain au chocolat." The coffee was fine, but that chocolate croissant was horrible. No crunch to it at all, just a bland, sticky piece of dough with chocolate chunks stuffed into it. Disgusting. Friday afternoon I took off for France, via Germany as you may have read below. I arrived in Cannes on Saturday night and had two lovely breakfasts since then. Freshly baked croissants, perfectly crunchy, and strong cups of coffee. Both times with a view of the Mediterranean. Cannes is great, a true old French city with some nice narrow streets and beautiful buildings. Some pictures so you can see for yourself:
