11/1/2013 - Monte Carlo, Monaco
Wearing my most stylish clothes, I spent the day in two wealthy cities: Monte Carlo, Monaco and Cannes, France. I spent more of the day around Monte Carlo, starting at the royal palace, then the gardens, the aquarium, the harbor, a restaurant near the casino for lunch (octopus), and finally into the casino.
Cannes was a quick trip. I walked the beach and saw the "Palais des Festivals et des Congres," where the Cannes Film Festival takes place. The beach has its own Walk of Fame, with handprints of famous actors and directors (I remember seeing Peter Verhoeven, Sharon Stone, Pedro Almodovar, Dennis Hopper). Golden palms are seen throughout the city: apparently it goes back to the city's coat of arms, not just to the film festival.
