i am now in Nice, France. even though it has been s***ty weather, this place is pretty cool. i went to monaco today and visited their aquarium after getting lost for a few hours. following my two rules of travel, 1) dont use a map 2) neverbacktrack, monaco did me pretty good in the rear end. but i eventually found it, soaked from the rain and stoked to see some fish and s***. other than that, i spent the previous day wandering around nice and so i got a good look at it. tomorrow morning i will be leaving for madrid. the train ride will be about 21 hours, which is nice (the adjective, not the proper noun), then i will be wrapping up my european adventure by spending my last day in paris before heading out to bangkok. i will try to update pictures once more before i leave europe. see you soon,
