Field trip to Monaco

I had a recent geology field trip to Monaco. The objective was to look at ancient turbidites in the South of France. Turbidites are rocks deposited in underwater "avalanches" in the deep oceans. 


The first night I had time to do some tourism around Montecarlo:




Montecarlo Bay where all the rich park their yatches:







The Royal Palace:

Montecarlo architecture:











Where Grace Kelly got married:


Dinner with colleagues:



The following days we just did geology, hike and we saw many rocks including some famous ones where a Geo-celebrity named Bouma came up with his "sequence".


Me, the Geologist






Annot, famous town for Geologist around Europe:



I pick this flyer from the hotel, so if you're rich, live in Montecarlo and you  still want to go to school you have this options, my favorite "Master in Luxury goods & Services":


Did you know that Monaco is the most crowded country on Earth? also the most expensive in Europe in terms of real estate.
