Living the rich life, don't need to do it all the time, but getting to
do it a couple of times in your life keeps you grounded in what's
important...

Monaco is best seen by the double decker tour bus I think.
Tore a hole in the rented Mercedes on some concrete blocks on the side
of the check-in area of the Monaco Marriott. Arrgh. Below the
headlight. Whole front end will have to be replaced. I did get the
insurance at Hertz this time. First time I ever bought the extra
insurance. Still $1500 deductable. Probably a $5K repair. Not sure
what to expect when I return the car. First time I have ever damaged
a rental.
Staying at the fanciest hotel in Monte Carlo this evening. More of a
lifetime bragging rights thing than anything else. We are literally
next door to the original casino. Michelin 3 star restaurant here. I
have never eaten at any star Michelin anything before. I did not
bring a suit coat. They don’t want to let me in without one, they are
checking with housekeeping to see if they have one I can borrow.
Again, a once in a lifetime bragging rights thing. This is a very
uncomfortable level of posh for me. My standards are one step above
Motel 6...
Still surprisingly easy to drive around here. Good GPS but it is
intuitive. Narrow streets (with angry concrete blocks in some
areas). That bus driver was crazy good, making hard left turns inside
a tunnel that seemed to tight for a VW bug.
Sunday has most commercial places closed. I was going to try to buy a
blazer so I could eat a $150/plate meal tonight... (I am a $2 taco
cart type of guy. )
Good gyros down in the carnival area. They had a southwest saracha
type of sauce. No greek sauce of any type. But it was very yummy.
