One of my favorite weeks in December has been epic, once again, in lovely Cannes France. That’s right, time for ILTM, a show we have been exhibiting at for years. With a combination of conversations with amazing partners that seem to build further into relationships each year, and the city’s beauty lit up for the holidays, what’s not to love? Even the weather is cooperating.
As is the case every year, there are some memorable moments. This year, there was a story of the “missing” salad restaurant I normally visit every year. The establishment was renamed, and we walked past it, at minimum, 3 times before realizing it was closed. While looking for a replacement, we stumbled upon an Indian restaurant offering home cooking with a French twist.
Then there is the moment that likely should have ended with me in the hospital. Have you ever called someone by name looking at the back of their head, only to realize it wasn’t that person? Well I bear-hugged someone thinking it was the infamous David Kolner, only to realize, it wasn’t. The look of death followed as my life flashed before my eyes. Thanks, David! Well despite that, the week has been amazing.
This year the order is a bit different. Normally, I have an adventure in one of my favorite places in Africa before coming to Cannes.
This time around we are doing it in reverse, so stay tuned for my dispatch coming next week.
