I love the French Riviera and Nice and Cannes were beautiful. We spent the day at the beach and having a delicious lunch on the beach. Then an afternoon of shopping and a visit to Grasse.
Ugh, our only picture at lunch has a big thumb in it!
June 1991, Monte Carlo
I LOVE Monaco! It’s compact and easy to walk, it’s charming, gorgeous views of the Mediterranean, the Royal Palace, the Grand Prix and the Casino. We were lucky enough to be there during the Formula One Grand Orix!

This gorgeous castle is the one that inspired Walt Disney Worlds Cinderella Castle. He was later known as “Mad” King Ludwig but many question whether or not he was mentally ill or not. He plunged his kingdom into massive debt with his megalomaniac construction projects that still dot the Bavarian countryside today. Sadly he was deposed and found dead in a lake, many question whether or not he was killed or suicide. He only lived in his castle for a short period of time and it still is not finished.

The famous Glockenspiel in the Marienplatz
The infamous Hofbrauhaus for a fun evening in the beer hall!
