Monanonoco

We took the bus to Monaco yesterday. It was cool, but I don't think it necessarily lives up to all the hype. It is so overcrowded and overbuilt, it's pretty disgusting. Kevin and I tried to get into the Casino, only to be turned away on account of our be-flip flopped feet. It was a worthy try.

It's been going well here. Today the weather is really quite beautiful, very sunny and warm. The wind picked up a bit in the afternoon, but we're not too picky. Sat on the beach for a while, attempting to obtain a bronze sheen. Did it work? Probably not, but whatever. It will be somewhat bittersweet to leave France tomorrow, as we all know I'm quite the fan. But it's good to experience new things. It's crazy to think that I still haven't gotten to the halfway point of spring break yet. It's a little overwhelming, but I think I can manage. It's very strange, not being part of the usual annual rituals that surround Easter and such. I'm usually playing some super easy arrangements of Easter hymns with a bunch of middle schoolers and such right now, instead I'm getting ready to head off to Florence. Travel does sort of screw with your head like that, as you have to sort of put aside all the things you're so used to doing. But anyways, I should go so I don't get too screwed paying for the internet. Hope everyone is well, and one last "bonjour" from France. Catch everyone in Italy!
