Bonjour,

For those of you who don’t know, we have three children. Our middle child is our daughter, Rita. We had been talking a lot about Rita, who less than nine months before had made us grandparents for the first time with twin boys, when we visited a church at the end of the Nice Harbor. This was where the early sailors visited before leaving on their long voyages. And as we walked around inside the church, we came upon the statue of Sainte Rita. Who knew? Sainte Rita is evidently the patron saint of desperate causes – which can’t possibly be my grandsons…. You can see this statue in the first photo.

Back in Old Town Nice and just wandering a bit before we left Nice to continue our trip, we came upon Saint Rita’s Chapel which you can see in the second photo. As you can see in the rest of the photos, they had Saint Rita everything in the chapel…. All those years of Catholic school and I never heard of Saint Rita. Isn’t travel great?

Voila,

Bill
