| The Monte Carlo Casino...The view from the back (featured) is better. |
Monte Carlo. Home of Princess Grace (Grace Kelly) after she married the Prince of Monaco and the famous Monte Carlo Casino. The people of Monaco were clearly very excited to have an American actress as their new princess. It was the Golden Years of Hollywood. Theaters, dance studios, streets, restaurants...they are all named after Princess Grace.
Yes, Monaco is it's own itty bitty country (499 acres) surrounded by France and again, only a short train ride away from Villefranche. If you are rich, Monte Carlo is the place to shop. If you want to feel rich, but aren't, Monte Carlo is a place to walk around and take pictures and feel fancy; but not much else. Every designer, high-end store you could hope for is here in this yacht-destination, I-have-money-and-want-to-flaunt-it city.

Formal night with Chip and Dale. Because what's a blog about travels with Disney Cruise Line without a little dose of Disney to go with it?
