... Black Jack luck was definitely not with me in Monaco. But I did see Princess Caroline (after a bit of internet research, I am pretty sure it was her and not Stephanie) at a fancy shopping mall. She was leaving and all her security were precdventing anyone getting close. She then drove off in a silver Porsche...no joke. She looked a bit old and tired. Maybe too much Monaco sun in her life. Anyways, the pictures say it better than i ever could...

... committed by kids. except using much smaller words. maybe at least they'll think i'm older than i look now?

btws when asked my age i replied, a true lady never reveals her age. my 2 faves in the class laughed at that one. at least someone got my jokes!


and tomorrow?
another day of very early rising to greet the bus, and go to a class that i may or may not actually have.(thanks eve)

looks like i've got my work cut out for me.....

... the most beautiful boats in the world are in MonteCarlo...

Language is more interesting in france. If we try to do the simple tourist things then most people can work out what is going on but when we try something else eg. going to the doctor (sue has been sick) going to a chemist.. or finding a Laundamatt.. then the language thiig is a bit more animated....

have some grat pics of Nice and French Rivierra to show when we get home...

... blue/green shutter doors. i feel all french like whenever we open and close them.

so tomorrow is my first day of school for real. eek. little nervous, its a class of terminal and then the professional school. definite potential for them to be older than me. oh *****, i already look like im 12 haha.

yet another part of this lovely adventure!

... Monday’ by the Bangles at the airport. Too true...

12hrs after i checked out of my Barcelona hotel, i am in Monte Carlo!!!!! Luckily got the last bus from the Nice airport to Monaco. Amazing bus trip here. I think i was wide-eyed and jaw dropped for much of it. Although it is night, you can see some amazing views, yachts and cross some bridges with HUGE drop-offs down into the coastal valley. The streets truly are Grand Prix style. Can't wait to ...

POLSKI:
Ile razy bylismy w uroczym miasteczku Villefranche na francuskim Lazurowym Wybrzezu, tyle razy chcialam pojechac do Monaco. Moj grafik jednak mi na to nie pozwalal. Tym razem spielam sie w czasie i zaraz po porannej pracy pobieglam na dworzec kolejowy. Pociag do Monte Carlo, w obie strony, kosztowal mnie cale 5 Euro, a jazda trwala 15-20 minut. Widoki sliczne, ale najlepsza byla jednak Starowka Monte Carlo oraz samochody ...

... and she's a really cool girl.

There's not a whole lot to do in Nice other than the beach and shopping, but she had a plan and I went with it. First we took the bus to the Matisse Museum, but after looking at the brochure we decided to move on. We stopped at the archeological musuem. All of the information about the artifacts were in french and they weren't too interesting. But in the back of ...

... arrived in Monaco and went to our original flat in Beausoliel [beausolay]- it was small, the kitchen like in a closet, no balcony. The lady at the front desk called some of the other "vacances" in their chain and found something more our liking ...

... to spend my Christmas vacation by traveling to Portugal and Spain, but sadly by the time December came, I was still waiting for my carte sejour and my visa had expired, so the decision of whether or not to still go was a big question looming over my head. I guess I could have gone; I knew plenty of people who were traveling anyways with or without a carte sejour, but I figured with my luck that I would be the one caught and thrown in jail and made to deport back ...

... strange self-cleaning) toilets there and checked out the free casino next door. I heard some people did a bit of gambling not so effectively and lost 300euro...not so lucky for them. The bus then came and picked us up at 10:30 and this was where we almost lost one of our group members. We drove around a little bit looking for him and just as we were about to drive off he noticed our bus and came running after it. Pretty ...
