Got to the French Riviera around mid-day after a stop in Pisa and a rest stop in Italy. The Leaning tower of Pisa indeed has a significant lean. It's worth checking out just to get up close. I got me a photo of myself trying to push the tower back to its place (visual effect of course).
Feeling kinda shitty lately, even losing my voice but still trying to have fun out there. The evening was spent in Monaco which is absolutely breathtaking. Go there if you want to see the best cars and yachts. Money does grow on trees in Monaco or so it seems. There were a bunch of Ferraris parked outside of the Monte Carlo Grande Casino.
There was a dinner in Monaco which was alright. Wasn't as spectacular as the Tuscan dinner but at least I can say I had dinner in Monaco and add to it, gambled. I lost 50 euros in the Sun Casino but it's alright. My roommate Darren won 300 euros on a one euro bet so at least somebody won. Two other people won 100 and 200 euros respectively.
Day 2 in the Riviera has been a chill-out day. Would have gone to the beach if I was feeling better but I am not. Instead I will just go back to the hotel to lie down and recuperate from this cold that seems to engulf the entire group. Maybe spending a long time with the same people is not so good for one's health.

Well it is good to hear about your adventures. Sorry about your illness. It is terrible to be ill on a trip. Been there, done that. Sadly for me it turned into pneumonia. Hope you have fun in Paris. If you do see a "money tree" growing in the Riviera, send it back here! :) Things are all right here, a rather blah sort of week. Talk to you later!
