I lost my digital camera in the courtyard at school. It was tragic. The secretary was terribly mean about it when I asked if someone returned it. C'est la vie.
This past weekend CEA took a trip to Nice, Monaco, and Eze. I'm not going to lie (I'm not sure that phrase is communicated the same through computer screen as it is orally), but I wasn't really looking forward to it. I thought, great another trip somewhere, it will be nice. I was surprisingly surprised.
Saturday we started our adventure in Nice. Right now is the carnival de Nice (wikipedia that) and the theme is year of the rat. The city is so very cute and alive. The water is crystal clear turquoise beauty. We watched a parade for the carnival, explored a cemetery, and ate la glace (biensur)

the frolickingThat night we left for Monaco which was amazing and I am determined to own a summer home there. Yes, I will be filthy rich, and no, my fortune won't come from my job with a non-profit organization of choice. I haven't figured that part out yet, but it will happen. We had dinner at a restaurant called Stars-N-Bar where anyone who is anyone has eaten this includes: Victoria Beckham, Mel C, Kylie Minogue, Rod Stewart, Britney Spears, Celine Dion, Rene, and moi. We had a texmex buffet. I have come to discover that texmex in Europe is not texmex. Carrots do not belong in Texmex, nor do peas. There is no steamed white rice in texmex. Someone should school them on this subject, I'm tired of being let down but their cultural incompetence. After dinner we went dancing.
Monte Carlo Casino, where 007 was.
The next morning we walked around Monaco. We saw Princess Grace Kelly's tomb, the changing of the guard at the castle, the ocean, the yachts, and then we boarded the bus for Eze. Eze is a smnall city near the Worlds Perfume capital. They do perfume too, which is why we toured a perfume factory upon arrival. My nose was ready to kill me. I finally settled on a trial size bottle of something that apparently resembles "J'adore" by Dior, it was only 8,50. The city was nice, but we were all tired so it was nothing too amazing, although I'm sure it is if you're well rested.
Near the tomb of Grace
Lyndsey let me borrow her camera and I took this gem, it's near the palace.
