Day 2.5 - The Memorable Moment
Mike told Ashley to pick dinner. While reading through the Rick Steves' book, she decided on Le Bistro du Fromager in Old Nice. As we were walking through the city streets, we could not locate the restaurant, so we chose another based on the menu.
Dinner at La Tapenade was great! Some of the most authentic cheese ravioli and best mussels we have ever tasted! Mike suggested we pick another location for dessert. We debated between gelato, or chocolate lava cake from Restaurant Le Grand Baclon (because it was that good!) Therefore, we headed back towards the fountains at Massena Square. We both enjoyed that area, and it was a central location to decide on dessert. At this point, Mike would have eaten mussels all night to keep his mind off of what he was about to do next.... |
The Fountains at Massena Square
As we were walking through the Fountains at Massena Square, Mike was pacing back and forth. He walked around to ALL of the fountains, as he admits now he was nervous. Ashley didn't think much of it, as she was very focused on the dessert choices.
After checking his pocket for the millionth time, Mike couldn't stall anymore and took a knee and grabbed Ashley's hand. I think it's safe to say, Ashley knew at this point that we weren't going out for dessert anymore! |
The Proposal!
Ashley said "yes!' and we celebrated by walking through the fountains and heading back to the hotel to share the news.
We made a stop at the sushi shop across from our hotel as they had champagne chilling and ready for purchase. It's as if they knew we were celebrating! |
