Hi its Lexi B.! This
is the last day I will be blogging; it’s so sad that we are leaving in two
days! For breakfast instead of just eating the stuff at the hotel, we decided
to eat really good for the next few days.
We took the local bus to a Bakery and it was only a $2 ticket. The
restaurant wasn't that crowed so it felt pretty relaxed. I order a chocolate
almond croissant, and it was the best croissant I've ever had. Once we left we decided
to go shopping and get some souvenirs from the beach to take home with us since
we haven’t yet. One of the biggest fashion places in the world
is Monte Carlo, so we all decided to take a small trip there to shop. There was
constantly buses driving in and out of Monte Carlo and we thought that would be
the cheapest way to get there. The bus came around 12 pm since we missed the
first one in the morning because we were at breakfast.
The
bus ride was about 20 minutes long, so it wasn't that bad. The stores here are so
expensive, so we just wanted to mess around and try on everything that was so
out of our price range. The French wedding dresses were the most beautiful
dresses I've ever seen, so we thought of a way that they would let us try them
on. Our plan was to say that I was getting married in about 8 months and
looking for a couture wedding dress. I told the woman that was helping us find
be ball gown like dresses, and it was the best feeling ever to have on $10,000
worth of dress from such a famous designer called, Valentino. This was the type
of dress I tried on, it was very ball gown like with a lot of pattern at the
top. I felt like I was on top of the world wearing something this expensive. The
girls jaws dropped as I entered the room, and I gave the dress a little
twirl. It was only until our wedding attended
asked if this was the dress, that I snapped out of my trance. I shook my head and then I think we all got
the message it was time to leave.
Our
next stop was to eat dinner. We went to
a place called L'Hirondelle, it served Pissaladiere, which is a famous meal
that French people eat. It's a type of white pizza without tomatoes, and it is
served with onions, olives, garlic, anchovies and then caramelized on top. It
was one of the best pizza like dishes I have ever had. It was pretty expensive
since we ordered some red wine with that. It was around $120 even though that
was the cheapest place for that dish. We got back to the hotel by the bus, and
all passed out after all the walking we did that day.
