My First Creeper

My last day in Nice I wanted to walk around the Place de Messena before I left. It is the main square and really pretty and fun with lots of things going on. I noticed this guy who seemed like he was kind of following me so I went and sat on a bench and kept looking at my watch and all around as if looking for someone. He came over and sat on the end of the long bench. I thought surely he had seen any spy movie and knew that is totally against the rules of following someone. I assumed there is no way someone could be that bad at it and figured I was just being paranoid and walked off to take some pictures of this really cool statue. After that I wander over to cross the main street and as I was waiting in the group of people I look over and see the same man about 10 feet away. When the cross light turned green I turned and walked the other way. I looked back and saw him do a double take when he realized I wasn't crossing the street with the group. At this point I wasn't scared because they were so many people around, I was more just curious as to what this little critter was doing. Whatever it was, he wasn't very good at it. I wandered around the fountain and took some pictures of some really cute kids playing in it. After a while I couldn't see him anywhere so I went to the tram stop. I look over and see my little friend waiting for the tram. When the tram came it was really full so I walked down a few doors to get on. I glance over and notice him waiting to get on until he sees that I get on. So right before the doors close I look over and his head is turned so I jump off and run down the street. I thought about waving bye as the tram left but I thought that would be over the top. I now wish I wouldn't have done that because the curiosity is killing me as to what he thought he was doing. I really do wish I would have just walked up to him and asked him. Oh well. It was kinda fun and exciting for a minute.
