Riviera Roadtrip

For many months now we have been planning to surprise Greg's family. We told them we were meeting them in Italy on July 18th, but actually we were always planning on meeting them in Barcelona when they arrived there on July 15th. It has been hard to keep it a secret, especially since we have had to lie to everyone about where we have been during the past 3 weeks! It's true, we were in Italy, but after Tuscany we began our Riviera tour. We stopped in Santa Margherita, Italy, Antibes, France and Cadaques, Spain before Barcelona, where we have been renting an apartment for 2 weeks.

The highlight was when we visited our wonderful friend, Laurence, in Antibes. Greg knows Laurence from when he was working on Fathom, the yacht he was designing while working at Zeff Design. Most of you remember Greg was traveling to Turkey once a month, for 8 months, to work on the boat. It just so happened to be docked in Antibes, and we got to hang out on the boat when we got there! It was even more special because Laurence did a champagne toast congratulating us on our engagement. Talk about full circle!

Watch how you go...
