Flashback | Monte Carlo
What a gorgeous principality! It was our three-month anniversary of dating. We took the shuttle to the Yacht Club, where the ship’s tender drops you off, and walked along the harbor. We saw balloons and games everywhere! It was an impromptu fun fair!! We snacked on waffles smothered in nutella and took some fun photos of the Monaco Cow Parade.
It was as if Monaco knew today was our special day and decided to celebrate! I paid a couple of euros to bounce on a trampoline and ride a blue spaceship merry-go-round. I felt like a kid in a candy store… or, I guess, a kid at a fair.
We walked around a little more, stopping at the Dali photography display, then headed to the Royal Thai restaurant for lunch. We dined on spring rolls, chicken skewers, and pad thai with shrimp and crab meat. Yum! After eating all that beautiful food, we hiked over to the Grand Casino to work it off.
Paul rushed over to the car show in front of the hotel and drooled over the stylish sport cars. He says that if you love cars, and get the opportunity to travel to Monaco, it’s like a small taste of heaven. Apparently, the car scene is top notch.
We strolled through the lush, green park area and sat on one of the nearby benches for a spell. After resting, I decided to meet up with a few locals in the area to play a friendly game of cards.
It was a beautiful day and a great way to spend our “anniversary.” Sigh! I miss Monaco!
