Jack's Photo
Links Page - A Visit with the
Family in Southern France
The following pictures were taken between April 10th and
April 16th, 2008 during our visit to France to see Elise's
Family. We stopped in Cannes, La Seyne, and the
village of Cuers and as usual, ate a lot of FOOD! The museum
photos were taken at the Museo des Automobiles in the
town of Mougins near Cannes.
