The world so far...

Monte Carlo, Monaco

Well because the entire country is only about one square mile (making it the most densely populated country in the world), there really isn’t that much to see or do. We went to the Royal Palace, saw the Casino and main Cathedral, walked around the Botanical Gardens and just enjoyed the amazing weather. It seems like a great place to vacation or own property (most of the houses have ocean views as the entire city is pretty much built on hills). Not much doing though, I’d rather have spent more time in a different port, but all the same it’s nice to see. And for all the HAL people out there: yes – I did have the cast show Monte Carlo stuck in my head ALL day (Monte Carlo the excitement is in the air; no casino in Vegas or Reno ever could compare)!
