About Me
New to Digital Scrapbooking, just started in 2019, want to make a record of family stories before my mother passes away. My dad died in 2016. I currently live in Canada but was born and raised in New Zealand, and emigrated to Canada upon marrying my Canadian spouse. Home Country - lets see - New Zealand or Canada? Which to choose? Most of my photos will be from NZ, but any pics of my son will be from Canada. MY IP Address will say that I am in Canada which is fine. My mother and sister are still back in NZ so I will make my home country as NZ for now. For Facebook, I dont check it every day - I am not addicted to FB, and I use a different name for privacy. My image is myself as a child - aged about 2 or 3 years old

Description
I would also love to visit the French Riviera (aka the Cote d'Azure) and visit those famous cities - Cannes, St Tropez, Nice and Monaco. There is also one small ancient city along that coastline, between Cannes and Nice, called Antibes.
Antibes was founded by the Phoenicians back in the classical greek era. It was called Antipolis back then. Antipolis later came under Roman Control for 500 years, during which time it was the largest port along that part of the coastline.
The Grimaldi family (originally from the papal states of Italy) later settled in Antibes and made it their home base for several decades. The Grimaldi family built a stone chateau in Antibes in the early 1600s and lived there until they later moved to Monaco.
Antipolis (Later Antibes) sank into obscurity after the Grimaldi family left, and really only recovered after the 1920s when the Cote D'Azure, (aka the French Rivera) became world famous as the hottest new international hangout for celebrities.
