After exploring Menton Saturday morning, we took a short ten minute train ride to Monaco. I didn't know much about it until Kelsey gave me a little background info. After doing a little research on my own, I learned that Monaco is the second smallest country in the world {the first is Vatican City} and known to be a hot spot for the rich and famous. It has the lowest poverty rate and highest number of millionaire and billionaires per capita in the world. The annual Formula One Monaco Grand Prix race is is also held there.
So, now that you know a little background info, here is how we spent our afternoon exploring Monaco. First we had to figure our way out of the train station. It was really confusing and there were stairs everywhere. Eventually we decided to just take the boys down the stairs in their strollers and start walking. One thing we learned was not to try to cross the street outside of a crosswalk. You will get a whistle blown at you by the MANY police officers patrolling the streets. We learned that early one when Aaron tried to rush across the street to see the yachts.

See the police officers? They were everywhere!
