The second day of our classes began with some simple vocabulary review for clothing and it's various locations. The class was sent out after the lesson to the narrow alleyways and street vendors to practice some speaking. There, you can find really good sales and the popular flowing skirts and dresses that are comfortable for this hot weather. Next, a short break allowed everyone some more time to relax and get away from the heat! Lunch today was quick for myself and a few friends because we had to make the train for Monaco! The Nice photo elective met up with the St. Laurent photo elective there and did a walking tour of the famous casinos and of course, the royal palace. Because the heat did not seem to let up, my group was unable to see the casino portion of the walk. However, I think we will return Monday and hopefully get some more shots for the class. Monaco reminds me of something from a movie. Everything there is bright and clean looking. The richness of the country itself and its densely packed streets is probably why I thought we were still in Nice for a second or two. The group reassembled at the train station and headed home for an authentic French dinner. I cannot remember the name, but i'll try to post it later in time! It was a rice and cheese dish with vegetables, I am sure that there are many other variations on the recipe. For the rest of the night, we had the option of attending a jazz festival in one of the squares, or karaoke. Myself, along with most of the other students, opted out and simply walked the streets again enjoying the city's vibrance.
