France (2) Day 5

We woke up to rain showers so we decided to hit the road to Monaco to go shopping (window only - who can afford those prices!!)

The drive up afforded a few interesting sites:

The special wine show at the local Champion supermarket.

A rich middle aged woman washing her Mercedes at the local U-Wash - dressed entirely in white linen. What you might not be able to see from the photo is that we are exceedingly close to the coast here - ocean is probably visible through the window in the back of the U-Wash stall. 

Pete getting friendly with a Lamborghini at the local gas station.

We loved the views on the drive to Monaco - this is still France - and in my opinion far less spoiled looking than the crowded Monaco harbor.

We managed to take a few self takes. This one was snapped from atop our Euro-Mobile across a busy 2 lane, cliff side road. We had to take breaks for surges in local traffic :)


Pete striking a pose in front of the Monte Carlo Casino.


This was dinner. After a heady day with rich movers and shakers it was nice to enjoy the simplicity of pasta. Doesn't Pete's marvelous presentation make it look gourmet though?

Wow, I am almost sick to my stomach with envy...(how bad is that?!?)

It does look like you are having an amazing trip and I hope it continues. :)

I love this post! The scenery is lovely, the food is (as Leah said) making me sick with envy and the cars are way too cool.
