When I returned to Rome after my 10-day break... I barely had the chance to unpack. 10 days of traveling and 3 different countries was NOT enough for me!
A few days before leaving for my 10 day break.. I booked a flight to Nice! One of my friends from high school is studying in Antibes (right outside of Nice) and I had to take advantage of reuniting with her in FRANCE! What!? Still cannot believe that the first time I saw her in years was on the French Riviera.
I arrived in Antibes Wednesday evening. After a delicious dinner out, my friend Theresa showed me around the small town of Antibes. Unfortunately she had class all day on Thursday, but NO WORRIES! I took a morning train to Monaco for the day!
Monaco, you are still beautiful in the rain. I had crappy weather all day in Monaco. My flats were soaked, and I was hiding my camera in my fake "raincoat." J. Crew, do not call a jacket a "raincoat" if it cannot keep me dry through 5 hours of continuous rain. Even after the jacket failing me...I love you unconditionally.
I eventually made my way to the Monte- Carlo Casino. Let's just say I held my own for the first 2 hours. I am all about the Blackjack Table. But... in the end I lost 60 Euro. But, to be completely fair, I had so much fun losing that 60 Euro! So... I don't consider it a big loss. Maybe that is just me trying to make myself feel better about losing 77.09 US Dollars...but hey, I felt like James Bond in Casino Royale... it was definitely worth it. All that was missing was Daniel Craig.
Friday was a beautiful sunny day in Antibes. It was so nice to be able to walk around the entire town in only 20 minutes. We spent a nice chunk of time people watching and chatting with a gorgeous view of the port. The only thing I wish I had was MORE TIME. I cannot wait to find myself on the French Riviera in the the future.
