Adam saw his first topless women on the beach in Nerja, Spain. He was about five. He stared, considered, then just turned back to digging in the sand. Since then, he's seen topless bathers in Greece, Italy, France, but thankfully we haven't yet been served by a topless waitress. It does, though, quickly become old hat, and you really don't pay much attention after your first few encounters.

And yes, We did visit Eze. Gloriously beautiful. For anyone heading to the south of France, Eze, not far from Nice, is a spectacular medieval village that sits atop a cliff that soars hundreds of feet above the Mediterranean. You wind your way up tiny, cobbled passageways to the top of the town to a botanic garden with rare and unique flowers, bushes and trees. Eze is a must-see.

Dotsie, do you know which parts of France, Italy and Switzerland your son will be visiting? If you could narrow it down a bit, I'm sure I could give your son some recommendations. I've been to many parts of all three countries.

Oooh, a treat. My husband, working from home today, just invited me out to lunch. Cool beans. Talk later.
