we enjoyed some beautiful scenery along the way...
when we got off the train the sounds of the cars running their qualifying races made Robert giddy with anticipation
there were many sculptures around Monte Carlo, this one was just outside the train station...now to find a cab to our seats...
It took us a while to figure out how to get a taxi to the hotel where we had purchased seats...but once we were there...it was great...and LOUD!! Robert was very happy!
This was "our corner" of the track.
Our corner is right after they go through a hairpin turn and before they enter the tunnel.
After the qualifying races we walked around Monte Carlo a bit.
Here is the coastline...the tunnel entrance has a red sign over it.
Robert sees that this would cost less than the other car he wanted to buy...

interesting art
shopping opulence
we even found "FRED"
