This past weekend we went to Nice, France and Monaco. Nice was amazing. The first night we had a fantastic French dinner: coq au vin and mousse au chocolatte which was super delicious. After that we looked in some shops and I bought a purse :)
Saturday we walked through the city and found a fresh market where we bought some fresh food (baguette, strawberries, preserves) and took it and ate lunch on the beach. We then went up this big mountain to some Roman ruins and we got some beautiful panoramic views of the city. We went back to the hotel to clean up a little then went to the 5-story mall for a little bit then went to another cafe for dinner to celebrate Stephen's 21st birthday. The food was amazing again. After dinner we went to a creperia where the owner was super cool and turned out the lights and put a hat on Stephen while the entire place sang him Happy Birthday as he blew out the candle and sparkler on his crepe. I had a banana and chocolate crepe which was amazing.
The next morning we saw a beautiful Russian church then took the train to Monaco, where we climbed up to a fancy castle and walked around a bit. We then had lunch on the port and decided to take a later train back so we could see the famous Monte Carlo Casino and take a picture with the Clemson flag. Because we stayed later, we had to wait and hour and a half in a train station in Ventimiglia, where we walked to the beach and picked up cool rocks from the Mediterranean Sea. Our train back was definately the Hogwarts Express because we had a magical compartment to the six of us and we promptly pulled the seats out until they touched in the middle and we all got cuddly and tangled together in order to nap on the way back.
