Spring Break Part 2.3: MONACO!!!

Trip:8

Life:18

So here's a little background on Monaco. Its an itty bitty principality on the French Riviera really close to the French/ Italian border. I have no idea how it survived as an independent state, but it totally is, its even got a royal family. The speak French there and accept the Euro, and luckily the French Eurail pass includes Monaco so we decided to stop there for the day in between Milan and Nice. The only problem with that is we still looked like the night/ day before and smelled like an italian club, which incase you've never been is an extremely unpleasant smell. Cigarette smoke, body odor and spilled gin and tonics.... not so nice. Did I mention that Monaco is one of the classiest places in the world? oops...






Checking out the view....



Looking worn out and gross but still happy to be out in the Mediterranean sun!!



Us in front of the Grand Casino. You had to be 21 to go in, and also had to not look like a bum so no gambling for me!


Me and Jess!!!


Oh this is kind of cool, in this picture I'm standing in Monaco (the wall's in Monaco too), the first Pennisula is France, and the land that you can see jutting out right under hte cloud is Italy. Three countries one picture- not bad, huh?
