GROG you naughty boy. So that's where all my whipped cream disappeared too. Now Dan has to wait for his banana cream pie!

littlegiles not only did you guys do a great job here I spent hours copying 61 of the photos into a save file.

cy a visit this year sounds like a fun plan. We could add a visit to those we have planned with family. How does the 9th sound for you and tigertail777? What time are you two home on this day?

hang10tiki not all in planes. We had a 6 hour layover in Dallas Texas. It was the trip of a lifetime.

tigertail777 I want to hit you both but not hard.

===============================================================================================
Back to the ship. On this day we made it to the Port of Barcelona to board the Celebrity Equinox.

This is our itinerary while on the ship. Three times in Italy and three times in Greece.

Leaving Barcelona behind on our way to De VilleFranche.

Many times on the trip we had to take a small boat to get to shore.

This is the main street and where tourists shop and eat.

We took a little train ride to the top of a hill to

look back at the bay and our ship.

Now we took the real tour of the day to the country of Monaco.

This man was our tour guide.

We arrived close to the palace. On the walk there the guide pointed out the apartment where Princesses Caroline and Stephanie live.

For a Beatles festival the Yellow Submarine had been brought there. The Princesses could see it from their apartments.

We hiked up a hill to reach the palace. I made friends with this bird.

This was the view from the patio at the palace. Prince Albert was in attendance but didn't come out. His wife is pregnant so the monarchy continues on. In the future a woman will be allowed to inherit the thrown. Imagine that!

Can you think of a caption for this photo?

Here is the front of the palace and

a couple of cars parked out front.

All we tourists took photos of these cars. To leave them unprotected was interesting.

We passed this church where Prince Rainier and Princess Grace are entombed.

We now drove on to Monte Carlo. They were busy setting up for the Grand Prix. This is the box for Prince Albert and his family. It's at the start line. It would be better to watch it on TV. This reminds me of Jack in the Box.

I'm in front of the Monte Carlo casino. It cost 15 Euro to go in and no photos allowed. So we skipped it and

went into a high end shopping mall.

In addition to high end treats they

had a skull chandelier.

Here's a close up of a head.

That skull art must be popular there because we saw

lots of skulls on clothing and used as decorations.

Now it was back to the ship. Nope I didn't even buy a postcard.

We waited to exchange our anniversary gifts until yesterday. I bought Dan one of zerostreets statues. It's terrific and Dan loved it. Thank you Robert.

I love coincidences. After trying to spell the names of the men in the statues yesterday I started to read again in the book I'd bought in Italy. This is what I found on the first two pages I read.

Dan said that j and x sound the same and that's how he got it wrong.

He did remember the friends name correctly. What are the chances I see these on the same day we needed them?

Cheers, Wendy
