MONACO!

Here's a picture of the two keychains I bought from the gift shop at the oceanography museum...more to add to my collection!

This is the oceanography museum that has the bottom two floors underwater! I took this picture when we were walking up from the parking garage to the museum... it's a pretty side view.

(this picture was taken from the roof of the oceanography museum, it was an incredible view!!!)

This was by far my favorite day of the trip. I had heard about Monaco and Monte Carlo, but I never knew what they looked like, until now. The staff planned an excellent day for us, with free time to explore, and also a tour of the palace and a visit to the musee d'oceanographique! I love seeing aquariums, and this was especially a great experience because the museum was right on the ocean, literally! The bottom two floors were actually underwater because it was so close! The palace was exquisite, and the historical value of it was amazing. I love learning about history, and seeing where it happened was one of the coolest experiences of my life. Monaco is the most beautiful place I have ever been, and I will definitely be going back as soon as I can!
