Carnaval Ends

The Nice Carnaval ended on Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras).  Next year's theme was announced:  The King of Sport.  Next year's king will probably represent the local people's favorite sports, so we expect a king in a football jersey (OGC Nice, of course) and riding a bicycle. 

At the end of Carnaval, an effigy of the King was burned offshore and they did one helluva fireworks display, set to music.  The firework were postponed from Tuesday until Thursday due to rough seas...the display was launched from seven barges and two boats.

Le Roi de Mediterranee e mort, vivre Le Roi de Sport!
