Monaco
I met a Frenchman yesterday about 4 PM & after we had a walk together he promised to meet me this morning & at 8 AM he knocked at my room. After I dressed & had breakfast we went to Monte-Carlo. We visited the Casino were they gamble & saw the lovely theatre hall, & they we went through the gardens.
I went to his home for dinner & they were all very kind, he's two Sisters could speak English & play the piano.
After dinner we visited the Prince's palace & Monaco, everything is of the best & the who palace is lovely. After that we visited he's museum, which is really a sea museum, all sea curio's no land ones at all. Its been a very interesting day. I caught the train at Monaco Station & got back to Cannes about 8 PM. Its a lovely evening & after a quiet walk along the beach I turned in.
