Life gets aquatic in the country of Monaco

Did you know that you can walk across the entire country of Monaco in 56 minutes? I did not know that until just now, b/c I wiki'd Monaco so I could sound smart and informed whilst blogging to my friends and family. I think it took at least 56 minutes to walk from just the train station to the top of the hill where the Oceanagraphic Museum is. The regular city map for this country has to be in 3D. There were public lifts all over the street because the city is pretty much just one MC Escher level after another. Think Sarah in the Goblin King castle. That was us.




Anyway, once we had conquered the mountain, we headed for the ocean museum. Student tickets were half the price of grown up ones, and of course we both have our student IDs on us at all times. The Monaco guard, however, was having none of it. I guess it didn't help that there were real students all over the place making us look bad, but for reals, I could be studying for my 8th masters. He doesn't know. Either way, he wasn't letting us in below full price, and after climbing that goblin hill, we decided to go ahead and pay up. It was the only reason we were in Monaco in the first place. I have a pretty cool video of an octopus, but you've probably seen one already. I leave you with this slideshow instead.
