Holiday's a coming

Well it's that time of year when people's attention begins to turn towards their holidays. Now for the past three years Nicole and I have been going to Italy, but for a change we are going to go to France. The area that has been picked is the city of Nice, which turns out to be a town that was founded by the Greeks way back in 350BC and was named after the Greek goddess of victory called Nike (Now that gives me a thought...was the sorts brand called Nike also called Nike after the Greek Goddess?). Later on the Town became Roman. Jumping forward now a few hundred year Nice in 1388 came under the protectorate of the Savoy's and in the 1500's the Italian language became the official language of the people's and government....so there you have it dispute picking a place in another country I am off to a place that has its routes in Greece and Italy!!!
Well I will speak more of Nice in a few weeks once I have completed my trip!

See you all soon now
