Trip to Monaco

Friday started early for Carlos.   Today was his first day working at Oto Malera.  His day was short though because Friday is the day the Egyptians leave early to go to the mosque.  Angel spent the day with Trudy McNatt; the wife of the coworker Carlos was relieving.  Trudy showed Angel the location of a Department store, the Laundromat (or as Angel refers to it “the Washeteria”), the outside market and other things she may be interested in doing while Carlos is at work.
We boarded the first of four trains that would take us to Monaco and Carlos immediately made a reference to Harry Potter.  The train had seating just like the Hogwarts Express; small cabins with seating for six.  Shortly after the train began moving the cart with snacks passed and Carlos immediately asked if they had “Any flavor Beans.”  Luckily no one in the cabin to include the man pushing the cart spoke English.  The ride on to Monaco was beautiful we passed some harbors that had some pretty impressive yachts.  There are also several very nice large yachts docked right outside our hotel.  Dinner was delicious but not particularly special, Angel had a rack of lamb and Carlos had walnut encrusted scallops.
