Saturday, May 1 Monte Carlo, Monaco











'Twas the day of the Monaco Grand Prixe for Antique Autos. You couldn't hear yourself talk in some places. And we couldn't go the "standard" route the tour buses usually go. So we got to see some places tourists don't usually see. Like partially completed underpasses, back sides of buildings, etc. But we had a nice little jaunt around Monte Carlo and environs. Did not go down the famous seashore drive out from Monte Carlo, did not go in the Casino. We had both done that years ago so no big deal. The most amazing (?) thing in Monte Carlo is the larger than life statue (in t he harbor) of the pregnant lady with the skin peeled back on one side so you can see muscles and, of course, the baby. You don't see this just everywhere.
