	Medium Large	Walking down the racetrack through Monaco. Unfortunately, all of the pictures from that night came out blurry because it was dark.
	Medium Large	One of the many insanely expensive cars around Monaco. The yellow thing in the lower left corner is an identical car parked next to this one.
	Medium Large	Scenes from Cannes.
	Medium Large	They had giant TV screens showing what's going on inside the place where the ceremonies were held.

	Medium Large	I happened to be standing next to this at one point.
	Medium Large	Part of Cannes near the port where I ate dinner. It was nice here away from the crowds.
	Medium Large	A petanque tournament. It's kind of like bocce, but if you called it that you'd probably have petanque balls thrown at you.
	Medium Large	Beach-front movie theater. They show free movies here at night, but I didn't want to deal with the lack of seating and the enormous crowds that gather for them.
	Medium Large	For some reason, all along the Cote d'Azur, there's a lot of Native American street performers.
	Medium Large	'Interesting' sand sculpture.
	Medium Large	Theater again.
	Medium Large	Who says that the French don't appreciate American culture? Note: I didn't go to this place.
	Medium Large	This is the view of Monaco and the coast from Morby's patio. He lives in a town called la Turbie, which is in the hills above Monaco.
	Medium Large	The palace hill in Monaco, taken from where we went to watch the race.
	Medium Large	Wide view of Monaco. The part of the track we could easily see is to the left of the port. We had binoculars for really close-up views. Even without them, the view was pretty good.
	Medium Large	Close-up of that part of the track. The cars go up the left road at about 300 km/hr, head off past the casino, go through the tunnel under the hotel, and emerge on the road on the right. The rest of the track runs more-or-less along the port, but is obscured by buildings from where we watched.
	Medium Large	Just after the start of the race. You can see the cars heading up the road on the left.
	Medium Large	Zoom of the track in the last image.
	Medium Large	Cars coming out of the tunnel and rounding the really sharp turn by the port. There were some good passing maneuvers on this turn.
