Hello from Monaco
We're here in Monte Carlo for two days before boarding our Cruise.  Monte Carlo is a very small country in the middle of France. We can also see Italy from our hotel... Monte Carlo is a beautiful tropical resort area where you can snow ski on the mountain while looking at the beach. This area has it all.  They are getting ready for the Formula One Grand Prix race so there are amazing fast cars everywhere. It's all about cars here.  My brother and father need to visit!! Today we are going to see Princess Grace tomb and tour the Grand Palace.  We have beautiful sunny day but quite chilly.. in the 50's.

This is the view right now from the backside of our hotel having breakfast.

Mike says this is a very rare car, only a few were made, and worth half a mil
Those kinds of cars are about all we've seen here this week
I have tons of car photos. I'll try to post later for my car-dealer family!
