The summer has been fun, though. We just got back from 3 days in Italy and Monaco with Joy's dad. Our hotel was amazing - it was located 5km up this crazy windy road, most of which was only wide enough for one car. But when you got to the top:
What a view, eh? Monaco was predictably over-the-top, with more Ferraris, Maseratis, Aston Martins, and Bentleys than you can shake a stick at. Somewhat surprisingly, we didn't have that much great food, but then, we didn't really research too much. Plus, these are beach towns, not gastronomic hot spots.
All in all, I'm glad we came here. It's been a great experience to be in another country for an extended period of time - you learn a lot more about a place when you start going to the grocery stores and the laundromats. But, it's always really nice to be home, too.
