Monte Carlo Revisited

A week or so, I wrote a blog, The Road to Monte Carlo, and discussed the Grand Casino. As I stated, I would also address certain other sites in Monte Carlo.  These include the aquarium, palace and cathedral. This post should give you a flavor of those.

This is the palace where Prince Albert lives with his wife, Charlene.  Parts of the palace are open to visitors and certainly worthwhile to visit. In one of the rooms, there is an impressive portrait of the Prince Rainier III, his wife, the former Grace Kelly and their children.

These are the tombs of Prince Rainier III and Princess Grace.  They are located inside the Monaco cathedral. The day were there, the Archbishop was confirming several children in a Mass entirely in French, the official language of Monaco.

This is a photograph of one of the impressive specimens in the Oceanographic Museum. Prince Albert is very much involved with the aquarium and it is said to be one of the best in the world.
