I love train stations. They always take you somewhere great. This morning we took a ½ day trip to Ventimiglia, Italy. Ventimiglia is known for its huge Friday street market. Just when you think you’ve come to the end it keeps going. There are hundreds of stalls with clothes, purses, leather goods, shoes, jewelry and of course food. With my Salami & Fromage Panini in hand, I scouted each stall as I passed by for any possible treasures. No such luck in finding anything worthy of my euros, but we did find a nice spot on the beach to rest our feet and look out over the sea. Instead of being surrounded by the yachts of Monaco, we enjoyed the little fishing boats with their faded paint and bundled nets. We returned to the bustling market to meet up with some of the bridal party who were also exploring the stalls. We had all managed to find the same Gelato shop. It was worth every calorie!!!
The wedding rehearsal is in a few hours, followed by the Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties at separate locations. Until then we are getting our gear prepped for tonight and tomorrow's wedding and I think a short nap is in order. I’m sure the Monacans are not opposed to siesta time.
