Et, nous voilà à Monte Carlo! After a long voyage (see Facebook posts as well as a possible future post of the email that I have sent to Delta--I'm worried that after reading that no one will want to be my friend...), we are finally here! Our hotel is super-cool and very modern...
our hotel is very much like a video game--here at the entrance there are some off-centered doorways in yellow neon, and then the reception desk is layered in neon...
our bed...katy perry watching over us for safety...
the egg toilet...
the hôtel ni bar...très chic and très cool...the walls change color....
So, despite the troubles with the baggage, all will be okay. Being with your true love in an amazing place conquers all--although I've had my moments of tears and frustration (thanks Mom and Jerry for all of your support...)--especially if you are in such an amazing place. I feel so much more fundamentally at ease in a European/Francophone way of life--things seem to make so much more sense to me, and to hear French everywhere is always a dream!
We went to the shopping center today to look for some inexpensive clothes to hold me over (until the AirFrance/Delta people stop laughing and possibly get a clue); I love stores like Carrefour--it is so exciting to encounter the differences and the similarities and remember previous experiences and create new ones. :)
We got a little bit of clothes for me and some 0.40e Perrier for Jerry (plus the vodka encased in it's own fur coat)
Jerry on frugality in Europe: "I feel better now that we've got vodka in the room" :) I found some 1.00e wine (which is much better than most of what we have over in the states) and now we are contemplating where to go for dinner.
so...although we love our hotel and our room, it's time for me to sign off for the dinner and the carnaval!
Beezous!
