What did The Idiot do with Baby Gaga, his 3.8-year-old granddaughter, and Baby Gogo, his 1.2-year-old grandson, during the heat wave in Northern California this month?
The Idiot didn’t starve while spending ten days with his daughter in Antibes on the French Riviera. Instead, as France reopened this summer with some pandemic restrictions, he thrived at bakeries, seaside cafes, picturesque restaurants and on home-cooked meals. Take a look. Feel free to read and learn much more about the French Riviera in The Idiot and the Odyssey: Walking the Mediterranean available on amazon.
What did The Idiot’s daughter encourage/force him to do outside her hometown on the Mediterranean Sea?
The Idiot just spent a week with his daughter Sonia at her home in Antibes, the city in the south of France where he launched his 20-year walk around the Mediterranean Sea in 1998.
The Idiot returned to the Mediterranean Sea for the first time since the pandemic began after France opened its borders to casual American visitors on June 9. The author of The Idiot and the Odyssey trilogy of travel narratives is reassured that, though a number of pandemic-related problems could obviously arise, the Mediterranean Sea will survive.
The Idiot, who is returning to Antibes on the French Riviera for the first time since the pandemic hit, will repeat the first steps he took when he began his 20-year-walk around the Mediterranean Sea on January 1, 1998. Here’s what his first steps looked like twenty-three years ago — and what they’ll probably look like today.
