Bonjour. So over the weekend we took the overnight train to Nice (Not recommended. If you thought trying to sleep on an airplane was bad, think again). At least we had a nice view in the morning…


Place Massena

And what everyone comes for…




I can’t understand how people lay out on these rocks…


Then off to Old Town for some socca bread at Rene Socca

Socca bread - made of chickpeas


Brandon and his St Jaques (baked scallops)

Me and my oysters…slurp, yum!

Brandon on his search for local bouillabaisse.


Me and my shrimp spaghetti.


Dessert: chocolate covered profiteroles for me and tiramisu for B.


The next day it was off to see Monaco.

The view from the bus



champagne wishes and caviar dreams…

Over looking the Monte Carlo Casino.


and one nice car…

after another…

and another…

you get the idea.

Lunch at La Pucinella



gnocchi

chocolate covered panna cotta.

Then a stroll through the japanese garden






For Brandon’s mom…she loves her cruise ships!



Would like to say we walked through the doors and came out with a small fortune… I would really like to say that. Sigh…
Went back to Nice and walked through Old Town again.




Then back on the train to Paris.
That’s all for now. Oink! Oink!
