Monte Carlo, Monaco

I have never been to Monaco, so when it was decided that we were going to go to Nice, France, I made sure that we went to Monaco as well.  Monaco was the second new country for the year.  Now I have been to 102 countries.  The situation right now makes me think that I won't be able to go to any more new countries this year.  I really hope things change and get better.  Driving into Monaco was very easy.  It is a rich country and everything looked very nice and lavish.  There were so many huge yachts in the harbor and lots of nice cars on the road.  The casino was beautiful (of course we didn't gamble, I just wanted to see the interior).  Before entering the casino we had to get our temperature checked to make sure we weren't sick and of course we had to wear masks to enter. Then we went into a shopping mall and there were gorgeous chandeliers. For lunch we just stopped by a bakery and had a quiche and almond dessert.  I didnt take a photo of the dessert, but it was so tasty and one of my favorite sweets we had on our trip.   Maybe next time we go to Monaco we'll be able to go on a yacht, haha!
