Barbecue on the Beach


Same beach as yesterday.

I'm pretty sure barbecues are not allowed on French beaches - certainly in Menton I've never seen one. What you don't see is a massive trailer parked to the left of the young man. We'd had a fairground in town and this trailer was one of the last remaining - perhaps this was a final meal before leaving?

Across the bay, we are looking at Italy.

  4. It is slowly getting to be "that time of year" when smoke will rise from many back yards when beef and pork are tossed on the charcoal grills across America. Until then most of the country is cooking in the kitchen or buying from fast food joints.

  5. Fortunately, it's forbidden. Imagine in Summer time !

    Last year, when we were on the beach, suddenly I saw a black pig arriving. He came from one of the trailer of the same fairground. Really weird ! You would have taken a good picture I guess.
