Today we went and visited Monaco, France. It was the most amazing place we have ever been to! At the beginning of the trip we went to Fragonard, where each one of us got to design our own bottle of perfume using different scents.

As we toured Monaco we went to different peaks and...

We all are tired from waking up so early, but we have...

After meeting up with Steve, and driving 20 minutes we stopped in Amboise for lunch. Most of the group had a great pizza lunch at restaurant near a ca...
