Thursday, November 19 Today we decide to head to Monaco to go to the Oceanographic Museum (Musée océanographique) a museum of marine sciences.

Wednesday, November 18 Headed into Cabris this morning I’m looking forward to the market. Since we went last Friday and found out it was actually on Wednesdays. So we arrive on to one of the main streets heading into the town and there is a grass field on the right. I notice about 4 stands […]

Saturday, November 14 Woke this morning to many emails and texts making sure we were ok. I knew something had happened so before I could wipe the sleep from my eyes I grabbed my phone and read the news about the Paris attacks. So sad to hear about that going on, especially after having just […]

Friday, November 13 The Cabris market was a fail. That’s what Max likes to say when something doesn’t work out his way or the way he planned something out he says “that was a fail!”. The website we were going off of said Friday, I’m positive it said Friday as we planned to go on […]
