Nice was N.I.C.E.

To our faithful followers (cough cough Mr. Kelley and Mr. Moore): we apologize for the long gap between posts-vacationing has turned out to be quite consuming.

Only a week later Nice already seems like a long time ago but everything important can be said with the following acronym:
N-No sandy beaches. We thought the pictures that we had seen online of rocky beaches were perhaps isolated to a few small sections. That's not true, but also not as uncomfortable as they looked.
I- It only takes a few bottles of wine, Kirstyn Knox and a sketchy park to make a great night.
C- Crepes with nutella and banana go well with anything.
E-Eze was another great recommendation from Mrs. Kelley. We boarded the bus skeptical but were delighted by the views up the mountain and even more excited when we finally found out what this "eze" place was all about and why Mrs. Kelley gave it three highlighted stars.
Lessons learned:
1. Swimsuits, beach dresses and rainbows don't qualify as "dressed up" in Monaco.
2. If you plan to gamble in Monte Carlo its weird to only play 20 cent slots. (So we're told.)

Significantly tanner,

  1. I'm following along too! Great to hear these updates, but even greater that vacationing and adventuring is causing them to be few and far between. Camp just ended so Weld is quiet (for now). Miss you all!
