Although it was supposed to rain on Saturday, it ended up being extremely sunny and wonderful in Cannes so me and some friends walked along the beach for hours absorbing the sights and enjoying the sun on our backs for once! That night we went to a really fun dance club in Juan les Pins (about 10 minutes by car) and danced the night away.
We had an early 8:00 wake up call on Sunday to catch the bus to Monaco. It took around an hour by bus to get there; however, they sights were so beautiful along the way that we didn't mind at all. Upon arriving we were able to explore the amazing gardins and find a spot to picnic with our sack lunches the school was kind enough to pack. Monaco is absolutely stunning on a bad day but with today's amazing weather it was beyond words. We were able to see the changing of the guards and explore the Oceanography museum which has a cool aquariu
Our next stop was a short bus ride to Monte Carlo. I was amazed by the sheer opulence of the area. Hardly a Mazda protege in sight! We immediately headed to the casino where James Bond slaughtered some people and were actually able to gamble. I can proudly say I won 10 euro in Casino Royale ha....again there were so many amazing views here I had to continually pinch myself.
Our final stop was a picturesque village known as Eze, which is built entirely on a mountain. The hike to the top was really friggin hard, but I was encouraged by the sight of the lovely European ladies who were trekking it in their 9 inch heels! By far the most amazing sight I have seen in my twenty-one years. The green on the mountains and the blue of the sea were colors so intense that they looked unnatural. There were quaint little shops all up to the top and it made for a perfect scene!
After an hour drive home we were all exhausted, yet still in a state of bliss thinking of the weekend we were able to enjoy and all those to come!
ps. My new language trick of the week....read French magazines! They are super fun and sometimes easier than newspapers
