French Riviera weekend!

Ciao! I'm so sorry I have been MIA lately, school was getting busy and traveling every weekend didn't leave me time for blogging. I'll update y'all on the Cote d'Azure or French Riviera trip! It was wonderful. I actually went "alone" or I signed up without knowing anyone immediately. Turns out I knew a few people from class and other friends, so I hung out with them all weekend. I am typing this fast, so here it is! I might come back and fix it later.

Nice: walking tour, fresh food market: raspberries and a jam filled croissant, cute stores, went to the high point for a great view, to the beach for a while, 10 miles of walking total, crepe for lunch, drink, macarons (citron, fruits rouge), avocado gelato, French onion soup for dinner.

Eze: tour of Fragonard perfume factory, walk to high point and exotic gardens, giant take away sandwich on a baguette with fresh basil that she picked right outside the shop door. Breathtaking views and wonderful little shops that lined the little hillside that we climbed.

Monaco: bus ride to Monaco, yacht area, Monte Carlo casino, played the slots, guy who laid down €1000 like it was nothing then lost it all, walked along the streets and the coastline, gorgeous pictures, came back on the bus for Nice, had piƱa colada and tapas for dinner and I had beautiful gelato in the form of a flower

Antibes: we finally found a sand beach, we sat on it most of the day. I also got really sunburnt haha awkward. My skin said WHAT IS SUN AHHH. We also found this huge outdoor market that was AMAZING. So many different kinds of spices, meats, fruits, anything you could possibly want. There must have been 10 different kinds of salt alone! Idk what either black or pink salt are, but I'm sure they are delicious. We shopped in some little outdoor shops, where they had the prettiest jewelry and I wanted to buy everything. I found another printshop! And I bought a pretty little etched print of the beach. We bought lunch at a sandwich stand, and took it to the beach. That's pretty much it for that trip!
