We landed in Monte Carlo this morning. After a quick breakfast we hightailed it to the station just in time to catch a train along the Riviera to Antibes. So we get to stamp Monaco and France on our passports today! We wandered through the old town, stopping at a great outdoor market for jambon, salami, yummy cheeses (the French sure do know cheese!), olives and what Dennis has dubbed the best baguette EVER!
From there it was a short walk to the Picasso museum, continuing our routine of culture then beach (or beach first, depending on the day). The museum was both the regional museum that featured local modern art and the museum of Picasso's work while he was in Antibes. He stayed at the house that is now the museum for two months in 1946, and completed a huge amount of work while there. They have done a great job of restoring the place and turning it into a fine museum.
After that stop, we found a small beach and dunked the flab. It was a bit rocky, but the water was geat.
Then it was time to get back to the train station for our return trip to Monte Carlo, picniking on the train as we went. In Monte Carol we wandered through a posh neighborhood in the hills before making our way down to the royal palace and the cathedral where Princess grace and Prince rainier are buried. Gorgeous views from the high hills here of the yachts in the harbor. I've never seen so many posh boats in one place.
Now we are headed back to the boat. Dennis speaks this evening before judgine the dance show. Just one more night after this. How quickly it's coming to an end!
