Photo by Howell ConantI intended to do this post yesterday but my computer was having issues.
The tech has been out 3 times. Hopefully, 3 times is a charm.
53 years ago yesterday, Grace Kelly became Princess Grace.
Actually the civil ceremony was April 18th so that was her official wedding day.
I was just a little one when she became a Princess but as I grew older, her story fascinated me. I think my fascination with crowns, Princesses, etc. must have come from Grace.
Looking back, I think she must have been quite lonely.
I have been blessed by having the opportunity to visit Monaco several times.
It is drop dead gorgeous, almost too perfect.
I thought I would share some pictures with you.
Hopefully this post will go through.
This is a photo of Saint Nicholas Cathedral where the wedding Mass took place.
These photos were taken inside the Cathedral.
The Palace
My son loved these canons.
O.K, I cried as I saw their resting places.The first time I visited, Princess Grace rested alone.
A woman that works in the church, told me that Grace receives flowers daily.
She passed away so young. At 54, I am two years older than she was when she passed on.
I hope you enjoyed the little tour. If I don't come round, the "issues" aren't allowing me to.
