Monaco Explained
So I've been to Monaco twice in the last week (two Sundays ago and last Saturday) and I figure I'll post some pictures and blah blah blah about my experience there.
Monaco's a cool town, though it's basically one of the most surreal places I've ever been. The amount of money in the most densely populated country in the world is obscene. The port is full of boats worth more than 98% of the houses in Spokane, not to mention the cars cars CARS!! If you want to see a car worth more than your house you should visit Monaco.
The first time I went was with Justus to be his 'prayer posse' as he went to be the guest speaker at a friend's church there. We went and saw the prince's castle afterwards, a little too fake looking for me but it was cool.
The second time I went was with John Mark and two of his friends from Paris. We went and saw the famous Monte-Carlo Casino, then went back to the other side of town to see the Palace again and the Aquarium (something I hadn't seen the first time).
And that's about it. We went to Italy too, I'll include some photos of that, which was nice. I always enjoy going to Italy, it's probably my favorite country to visit. It was even better this time because I had real Italian gelato for the first time in almost THREE YEARS. That's hard to do, I can tell you that much.
And there you have it, I'll post links to my facebook albums here in a minute (though my first trip with Justus isn't up yet). I think I might start a flikr account, just easier all around. Peace!
Oh, and just because I'm not giving up hope on influencing these dang ads, beards are awesome. Don't forget to check your local beard store for some beard cream and beard trimmers. Beards are great and mustaches are great as long as they're attached to a beard. Beard beard beards BEARD!

You did it! There were three beard ads when I checked the blog. Yay for beard trimmers and whatever other beard gadgets they were advertising. Thanks for posting again. Monaco looks absolutely beautiful (if a little extravagant).
YES! Victory over the ads!
