Monaco Madness








Gina and I arrived in Monaco at midnight. Carol and Camilo our glamorous hosts picked us up at the airport and took us straight out to see the best that the Principality has to offer. We had a fancy drink at the Monte Carlo Bay Hotel and caught up. We then headed to Jimmy*Z, a nightclub with indoor-outdoor dancefloor. Gina bought us us each a $40 a cocktail and we sipped them very slowly. Hot well dressed millionaires did synchonized dancing on leather banquettes while many Tara Reid/Paris Hilton WannBes looked on. Even this New Yorker had never seen such a sight. It was a kick (see Carol's highkick).

The next morning was more civilized with a continetal breakfast at Carol's overlooking the Monaco port. We spent the day touring the Cote de'Azur by car and on the beach and then drove to Italy for a splendid meal.

Tomorrow night Gina and I take the train to Barcelona.

Au Revoir,

Kate and Gina
