LAST WEEKEND THE family split up a bit as Patrick went with a friend to the
Historic Grand Prix in Monaco (lucky bastard) while the rest of us visited one of the two islands off Cannes called Ile Saint Honorat. The island, known to the Romans as Lerina, was uninhabited until
Saint Honoratus founded a monastery on it at some time around the year 410. Today it is a tourist destination because of it's beauty and location only a mile of the Cannes harbor -- but the monastery is still there and is still running. Part of the beauty of the island is that you easily walk around it in under and hour and there are many places to stop for a quick picnic and a swim (assuming it's not as windy as the day we went).

Wow, I've been going through some old pictures, and we have quite a few pix from MB ten+ years ago in which you have exactly the same expression as Julia does in the last picture!
