Well yesterday walked around all of Nice. It is very pretty and right on the Mediterranean Sea. Was able to see the famous Flower market, a Russian cathedral, and a very cool panoramic view of the ocean from a high hill. At sunset we went down to the ocean and watched the waves come in and the sun go down.
Today we went to a very small fortress town called Eze. It was on top of a very big hill and had a great overview of the ocean.
Then in the afternoon we went to Monte Carlo. We went and saw the imfamous MOnte Carlo Casino, the harbor full of luxerious yachts(like the Al Mirqab which is one of the biggest in the world own by the Emir du Qatar, it was amazing!), and the palace of Monte Carlo in which the Prince of Monte Carlo lives. They were also setting up for the Grand Prix that is coming up and had the finish line for the Tour De France set up. Also, there were Rolls Royce, Bentleys, Ferrari's, and Mercedes everywere and I mean everywhere.
Tomorrow we are heading to a small mountain town in the morning and then Cannes in the afternoon in which we are going to lay out on the beach :)

Monte Carlo has always looked like lots of money.. Was telling one of the girls at the Mirror lab Today about your ticket for feet on seats. She could not believe it. Said she almost got arrested changing trains like you did in Paris. The difference for her, last summer, was that somehow she got commpletely confused. Ended up climging 2 fences, runing across the tracks, climbing onto the platform just in time to jump on her train. As it was pulling out she waved her ticket in the window at the police running along side the train. She said apparently they were satisfied and didn't followup to arrest her....
