It’s the Saturday before Easter, and today we went to Monaco (also known as Monte Carlo). We spent the day with Aunt Penny’s family. It rained all day, so we spent most of the time at the Jacques Cousteau aquarium that sits right on the Mediterranean. Lots of very different fish, octopi and sharks! Although I managed to create a scene by breaking my second dish while here in Europe, we enjoyed lunch at a cute little Brasserie in the Old Town near the Palace of the Prince and Princess of Monaco.
By the way, the big Monte Carlo Grand Prix will take place in Monaco while we are here. I hope mommy and daddy take me to see the fast beeps race around town in May!
After Monaco, we headed back to Nice to check out Aunt Penny and family are staying. Their 2-bedroom flat is in Old Nice which, seemingly like every other “old city” we have seen so far, features lots of narrow streets. Rather than risk another scene by “moi” at a restaurant, we decided to eat in. Aunt Penny prepared a very nice French-American-Filipino dinner for us all – bread, cheese, prosciutto, chicken, “wice” and, of course, vino.
It’s almost time for bed, and the Easter Bunny is coming tonight. I can’t wait to eat more chocolate eggs. Mommy and daddy plan to take us to Easter Mass tomorrow in St Paul de Vence. Then we'll reunite with the Donohoe family for dinner. Happy Easter everyone!
Love,
Griffin
