Day 11
Well, our last day in France... Kinda sad, kinda not. There are aspects of home i miss.
We started our day off right with breakfast, of course, and then drove around for a while. First stop: a parfumerie (perfume factory), but Kat, Mrs. Royer, and I decided to hang outside because our respiratory systems reject the plethera of smells. Second stop of the day, no ladies and gentlemen, not Oz, but Eze. A small village (similar to Watercolor or Blue Mountain in Florida), it was disappointing though because we went early and none of the shops were open. We just had our workout for the day... SO MANY stairs and inclines.
Last stop, Monaco... Home of the infamous Grace Kelley and thousands of bajillionaires that don't know what to do with their money, but it was beautiful. We were supposed to watch the changing of the guard at the palace like in DC but to get a good view for us vertically challenged beings we were going to have to get there very early... and who wants to sit around for 45 minutes? So the usual 4 of us grabbed a cup of ice cream and sat and people watched.
Heading back to the hotel, we changed into our swimsuits, greased up with sunscreen, and headed to the BEACH. We got to spend the rest of the day there and it was wonderful, hot, but wonderful. Good news is, all of us got at least a shade darker WOOP. Emily and I decided that Katherine was no longer Caucasion hahhahahaaa. We love you Katherine.
After dinner, a few, including myself, went back to the hotel to pack and rest while the others headed off to a discotheque for some fun and listen to some French rap. hahaa
So when I arrive back home late tomorrow night, I shall be more cultured, more tan, and have some killer legs from all the stairs and walking. That I will miss, but I must say I do appreciate $2 dollar flip flops, free refills of sweet tea, and southern hospitality.
Now let's just hope tomorrow is not a repeat of the beginning of our travels...
See you at home!
Sincerely,
Natalie
