Nice, France and Monaco

In order to get to Nice, we had to take an overnight train.  We were lucky enough to know all the people in our "compartment" but it was still an experience...


The boys playing cards, waiting for our train



Getting ready to load the train



Our bunk, all six of us
(Me, TJ, Ryan, Gavin, Michelle, and Suzanne)



Getting off the train the next morning, not a happy bunch


We didn't really have any time to clean up from the train ride since our hotel rooms weren't ready but we started our day anyway.  We might not have been very pretty, but the view from Monaco really was



Monaco, for those who don't know, is a small little country all to itself outside of Nice

The group

TJ and me with the Monaco view behind us



The Dubberstein Boys



The *new* Senior group


After Monaco, we went to the beach in Nice.  They don't have sand in Nice, only stones on their beaches (they obviously don't think they need bikini tops either).  Instead of burying me in sand, TJ decided to try burying me in rocks



The kids jumping in the French Riviera



and since we couldn't write our boys' name in the sand, we spelled them out in rock





We're off to Florence in the morning so let's hope the internet is better there...

I love the display of DZ shirts as well. I'm glad you could represent us all over the world! Looks like you guys are having a really good time. I think you should start spelling the boys' names different ways in each country. You know it's a good idea, so get on it!
