a little bit of monaco in my life
a well i had a couple of interesting days so far. mick jagger is staying in the next hotel down the street. thats pretty cool. him and dad are the same age, hilarious. anyway monday night we went out to the casino in nice for a while. there was nothing there but slot machines and video poker and both were in french. i opted to lose 5 bucks in video poker before making a move to the slot machines. first spin i won 50 credites. i did not understand what that meant. i played through all 50 credites with no remorse. i then played with about 3 more dollars and all of the sudden the machine starts flashing and going crazy and some woman came over to celebrate next to me in french. i still had no idea what was going on. i won 250 credites whatever that was. she then pressed some white button on the machine and all of the sudden i had 250 credites in my lap. well i collected them into my jug and turns out i won 125 euro. thats the first positive result of any type of gambling i have ever ventured into (that puts me only around 100 in the hole from college basketball season). so i took the money and ran back to the hotel. yesterday i laid around and went to beach. pretty standard. hung out in the piano bar at the hotel last night. really good music. today we got up and headed to monte carlo. i have never seen anything like this.
we were walking along outside the hotels, and i guarentee you that there is no city in the world with more ferraris, lamborginis, aston martins, maybocks, bentleys, rolls royces, porches, and high dollar benz. this is a picture outside some hotel...thats a lambo diablo, clk, ferrari, 911, ferrari, and some mercedes that has no business being in that picture
and of course we are in monte carlo, so we felt it was necessary to go in and make a donation to their casino. notice the two brand new 6 series convertables. its such a ridiculous town
another shot of the city
yea so we had a good day in monaco, bout to go grab some food now. im gonna get up and go parasailing in the morning before i catch my train to paris. the folks leave tomorrow so ive got a few more days by myself. should be a good time, but its getting down to the end of the line, so i gotta make it count
