fast cars & movie stars

welcome to MONACO !!!

did you know that it's the second smallest country (by size)
in the world?

and that it's the world's second smallest monarchy?
(neither did i - thank you wikipedia & my brilliant husband)

their borders are a little loose - look who they let slip in

2 princesses in front of the palace

saint nicholas cathedral where princess grace kelly is buried

we visited the gardens where the fat coy fish live

and a fat cat found us during luch
(mom, don't feed the wild animals)

we witnessed the knight in shining armor saving the fair maiden

and sometimes i must stop and say, "i have really cool parents"

almost got in a ship wreck with prince albert 1st

and the Beatles got in our heads for a couple hours

meet Juan Manuel Fangio - May 22, 1955 victory
grand prix

in the presence of champions

voilà

horse power

and just a few more horses

see?

monaco's famous casino

 a little sweet treat

some pinky-up action

too small?  too expensive.  free picture

we had a great day enjoying this crazy little country
i love my parents !!!
