On the way back from Italy we stopped off in Monaco, like you do, went to the castle, saw the exotic garden, stumbled upon the changing of the guard, and walked through the church.

On Thursday we had lunch in Saint-Laurent-du-Var with two of Stephanie’s friends from high school, both of whom she’d reconnected with via Facebook. Then we had a lovely dinner with Stephanie’s mom and aunt prepared by her momma. Tomates à la Provençale, gratin dauphinoise, and longe de porc au miel (braised pork loin with a honey-shallot glaze). I took pictures.
