Waves in Nice

This is a very familiar sound to me. The beach along the Promenade des Anglais in Nice was a soothing and invigorating place during my college years. The entire beach is made up of small polished stones, which are not only hard to walk on, but also sound like a rainstick when the wave washes back.

Bonus sound: With the airport pretty close to the beach, about halfway through the track, you’ll hear an airplane fly by. Typique!

The funny thing about Nice is that if you look at the word as an American, it looks like “Niiiice” the adjective. But then as the city name, it’s “Neeeece”.

I had suggested maybe calling the post “Nice Waves” to play off that bilingual pun…
