Sunday July 26th

Sunday we just walked around Nice, and hit up the beach in the afternoon. I also went back to Fennochios and got some more gelato :) We had a 10:45 flight that night, but decided to head to the airport pretty early because the last bus from our hostel left at 8. We arrived around 7:45 only to find out we couldn't check in for another hour. So, when we finally checked into the flight they told us our flight got delayed until 1:30 am. But wait... it gets better. Then we were told 2 am. Then 3 am. We actually didn't take off until 3:50 am. It was crazy, but thank the Lord the Nice airport has free wifi. I actually had a ton of fun running around the airport deliriously with my friends. We laughed so hard, and I was able to Skype with one of my good friends Rachael while waiting. Up until the flight got delayed, we were concerned how we would get home because the metro only runs 5am until midnight. Well...we didn't arrive until 4:50am, so I rode the metro home to sleep while everyone else was leaving to start their day. I didn't actually make it home until 6:30 am.  Like I've said before, I've learned a lot about patience here. Turns out the delay was because of air traffic controller strikes in Spain. Overall, the trip to Nice was worth it and I am so glad that I went!
