The Côte d'Azur

Also known as the French Riviera in English, its largest city is Nice. Monaco is about a 15 minute train ride from Nice. The French trains seem to be up to Danish standards. Yes, I will forever be in love with Copenhagen. The average transit time by high speed train to Paris is six hours. I randomly decided on showcase these pictures, from my visit.

A taste of Marseille

Continuing my picture tour of Europe with the beautiful port city of Marseille. It has the second largest port in Europe, only second to Rotterdam. It is also the second largest city in France. I think the next set will be on Monaco, and the French Riviera. Please excuse the image quality, I know the pictures became pixelated after I reduced the size, and quality of the image.

Photos from Monday

I decided to go out the other night, and snap some pictures around 1:30 am, with my DSLR. And I snapped some pictures near the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts. Yes I know it's a shocker people that don't go to U of I read my blog, so I have to describe places on campus.....The governor visiting campus trumped my story, so I have no idea when my next story will run, and homecoming is tomorrow.

Livorno, Italy in Pictures

Livorno is a port city, on the edge of Tuscany, Italy that I visited before the semester started. In close proximity is Florence, and Pisa. The town, has many canals that run through, and the fortified town walls. Going to Livorno, made me want to buy a boat and motor through the canals myself. I reduced the image sizes for faster loading.
