Today has been a pretty great day so far. We checked out of our hotel and traveled to an ancient village named Eze. It was located on a mountain so of course it had amazing views of the surrounding land and Mediterranean sea. At the top of the cliff was an old castle surrounded by a garden. Once I got to the top, I sketched a landscape looking down towards the sea.
After our visit in Eze, we headed down to Monte Carlo, Monaco. This is a town famous for its money and racing. The streets of Monte Carlo wind around the landscape making the perfect scene for sports cars. It was cool to see the town and experience a completely different way of life. The town practically sparkled because everything was so expensive and sophisticated. In just two hours I saw a handful of Lamborghinis, not to mention all the other fancy cars I don’t even know the names of. Also in Monte Carlo, I was able to confirm my theory that people actually do take their dogs everywhere with them, even to lunch! We were allowed to walk into the lobby of a famous casino that I cannot even afford the cover charge for. It was pretty awesome to see the marina as well because some of the world’s largest yachts are docked there. It blows my mind how someone can afford to live in a place like this. It was definitely another one-of-a-kind experience.
Now we are headed to Milan, Italy where we will spend a couple nights. I am beyond excited for gelato, pasta, and wine!
