Monaco

So this morning I was looking at a postcard from Monaco and I thought to myself, "I wonder what's in Monaco." then I realized that it was about 20 minutes away. Here are some things I learned in Monaco today.

1. Everyone has a Porsche or a Ferrari or a Land Rover. I get the first two. Not sure what's up with all the Land Rovers.

2. They have public restrooms all over. Free ones. If you have travelled in Europe, you know what I mean. If you have not travelled to Europe, be prepared.

3. The whole city/country/principality smells wonderful. I'm fairly certain this comes as a direct result of the plethora of public restrooms.

4. They have tours in any language you could possibly want. Yes, to answer your question, I did see a tour in Croatian.

5. They have guards at their palace just like in London, sort of. It's actually just one guy with a gun marching back and forth in front of the door. It's ok though. There's another door 10 meters to left of that one for the tourists to go in.

6. Clownfish lay between 4 and 5 hundred eggs at a time. Yes, I spent only about 4 hours in Monaco. Yes, I went to the museum of oceanography. Yes, it was very cool. Yes, I took more pictures here than I have anywhere else. And yes, I realize that I am a huge nerd who loves science.

Tomorrow morning I go to the Alps to work on a cow farm for a while making cheese.

More soon.
