Now that Kevin has a phone that can take decent enough pictures it isn't quite so bad.<br /><br />I am glad that we were able to bring back some good memories for you. I bet too, that even after those years have pasted things have probably changed as well.

It was fun to visit for a day but we don't see any attraction to living in such a small, compact, and very busy place like this but I guess as the saying goes "different strokes for different folks"! I think most do it for the prestige of saying they live there.<br /><br />33 countries now that have just arrived in Morocco! I wouldn't say that we are full time RVers anymore though because during the summer we aren't living in Sherman and this whole winter wasn't spent in him, however that will change next winter. I think that many people who live in their RV do it because they like their own bed and that it travels. Many don't like the idea of sleeping in beds that others have slept in, at least that is what we hear most often when we ask about others about travels outside of North America.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-44360731209706074712017-03-31T03:59:20.240-04:002017-03-31T03:59:20.240-04:00We remember that show, and yep, there were quite a...We remember that show, and yep, there were quite a few shows filmed in Monaco no doubt!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-20816242623495990112017-03-31T03:50:24.958-04:002017-03-31T03:50:24.958-04:00Monaco is expensive and no, we would never make it...Monaco is expensive and no, we would never make it one or our destination places but if you are close by in ever France or Italy than it is certainly worth going to visit just for the day.<br /><br />So far we agree, Morocco is very interesting and I can see some good blog posts ahead.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-24967169918923182402017-03-31T03:47:13.192-04:002017-03-31T03:47:13.192-04:00There are certainly still lots of older buildings ...There are certainly still lots of older buildings left in Monaco, they just can't been seen so easily through all the new and bigger ones. They may have torn down some but I also think that in some areas they have built out into the water more than in Kevin's dad's photos. Definitely lots of building/construction going on and it probably is like that all the time.

The whole day that we were there all we did was spend about €4.80 ($6.85CAN) at the grocery store for a premade salad, some yoghurt and a bag of peanuts for our lunch, we didn't even by any fruit because we couldn't justify the price of it. <br /><br />It is going to be an interesting two weeks here. Just with the bit that we saw yesterday evening, I can see some good blog posts in the future.

Looking again at the two pictures, I think we may have been a little higher up but if we were lower there would have been nothing to even try to match up because there are just too many high buildings now.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-68291632275344306692017-03-31T03:24:54.836-04:002017-03-31T03:24:54.836-04:00Yep, it was pretty upscale for those that live the...Yep, it was pretty upscale for those that live there but it was fun to just spend a day there.

Wonderful pictures of a place I wouldn't want to live even if I could afford it and all the accouterments that go with being wealthy in Monaco. Thirty Two Countries is absolutely amazing, especially for full time RVers.

I can understand why you would have a problem duplicating your Dad's picture since It looks like Monaco has either torn down some of the now old buildings in his picture and replaced them with new ones or has reconfigured, added to, or remodeled the old buildiings, all in a compressed area. But, of course, Monaco has lots of money to do that. <br /><br />Have fun in Morocco. If you remember your history, Marrakesh was one of Prime Minister Churchill's favorite places, and he loved to paint pictures (his favorite hobby) of the scenery there.
