Monaco hosts  Formula 1 Grand Prix car race around the streets of Monaco every year. The race consists of 78 laps around the most narrow and twisted streets of Monaco.

I tried to get a picture of the statue in the center of a roundabout in honor of the race, but I was cut out by a competiting videographer.... Todd?

A fountain at the entrance to Monte-Carlo which is not the country's capital but an independent government district.

A view of part of the Monte-Carlo Casino opened originaly in 1863.

The casino is one of the most famous in the world with some of your highest rollers playing here, just ask James Bond in Casino Royale.

The dress code requires dress coat, tie, and absolutely no tennis shoes. You also have to show your passport at the door.

The Hotel de Paris is right next door.

The monument in front of the casino. I would hate to have to clean this for my job.

Monaco is boarded by The Mediterrean Sea on one side and the Alps on the other.

Dad and the boys getting tickets to the Aquarium.

The boys trying out the Bushnell Tortoise built in 1775. Called the American Tortoise, it was the first submarine. 

Art on top of the museum we found while on our way to lunch. I like this a lot better than the baby out front.
