Nice Nice Nice Adventures and Pictures!!!

I looooooved Nice!!! Wednesday, after class, we walked through the streets of Paris with our duffels and of course good old "furstenberg", who was my traveling companion. We hopped a local bus to the Orly bus stop and headed to the Orly Airport. We had complications at check in and thennn once we got into the gates and boarded the plane, we had to de-board because they were (once again) having technical difficulties. Cool. So a good hour and a half of waiting around on the plane/back in the airport and then we finally got onto another plane and flew into Nice. The French Riviera is incredible. The flight overlooked the Alps and then the crystal clear beaches and hills. It was amazing. So we get taxi's to our four star hotel, the Sheraton. It literally was bejeweled... it had glitter diamond strings hanging down the sides haha. Anyways, it was right on the beach and had a rooftop pool that overlooked the whole city. It was sooo beautiful. I'll add some pics to this post just to prove it...but i dont think they'll do it justice. We also saw the hospital where Angelina Jolie had her twins. It was a teal color. Ok, so the first night we went to dinner on the beach at this disco bar/restaurant that had neon dots floating all around the room and on our faces while we ate. Interesting experience to say the least. I tried escargot for the first time :) and i liked it! I even got it once more on the trip before we left. After dinner we went to get gelato... what's new... and we sat on the beach while we indulged. The next day we woke up early and i got kicked out of the private beach for no reason... also very cool... and then spent the day on the top of the hotel at the pool with my friends :) we got tan. real tan/burnt. It was such a pleasant day, the sun was shining, there was a light breeze, and the water was insanely blue. Around 5 we went to get ready and headed to dinner at the "Atmosphere Cafe". We ate outside in between the market area and then walked around for a bit. Day 2 over. Friday, we took the train to Monaco/Monte Carlo and it was soooo much fun. We walked around saw the most expensive cars, the Casino, the gardens, the beach, the yachts, met some cute boys on the train/while walking around who we made friends with and we ate at a restaurant called Tip Top. The boys invited us to meet up with them at the train station and go out that night back in Nice... so we did. After getting ready we went to dinner near the same place as Thursday night, took taxis to the train station, picked the boys up and went back to around the area where we were previously eating. We went to a bar with live American music which was so much fun. Then we walked to another bar that had even more live music and they were so good! We danced and stayed until the bar was closing around 2 a.m., then we all walked along the beach and played in the water. Stars were out, moon was full, the beach hurt my feet because of the rocks...but apart from that it was a perfect night. The next day we went to the beach to lay out, the boys came and met us and we spent our day between the beach and the pool. Got more tan. Said bye to the boys, walked around the city, showered, and had dinner with like 11 of us at a restaurant on the beach with the best pizza and wine. It was a great way to end the trip together... and what could've been a better way to end the last night than with 3 big scoops of some seriously delish gelato. Leaving Nice (at 6:30 a.m.) was really sad... it was such a relaxing trip and so much fun, it couldn't have been more perfect. Here's some pics....
