Excess In Monaco And A Night Out In Menton

.

New St. Looie material soon. Really. I'm shooting my first wedding tomorrow (ack!), a freebie for one of our firm's paralegals. I told the bride to expect to get what she pays for. We also have our biggest outdoor art fair this weekend. So STL stuff by Sunday, latest.

A few more trip photos, then. We spent an afternoon in Monaco, a short distance west of Menton. The mountain roads in and above the town are incomprehensible. Even with a GPS gizmo we got lost again and again. But talk about wretched excess. The first and second pictures are of the yacht harbor. Um, who else thinks there are moral issues with this?

But that evening we had a delightful dinner with our pal Jilly in Menton's old town. She was considering buying a wide angle lens so we started fooling around with mine. The remains of a Perrier bottle and what might have been a gin and tonic illustrate the effect. Further down, Mrs. C and Jilly by me, then Mrs. C and me by Jilly. At the bottom, a candy store just down the street that I was not patronizing while in France.

By the way, more and more trip images are going up on Flickr every day. The most recent ones appear on my home page.  The set of pix from the whole trip is here, sorted in the order they were taken, are here.
