Sunday, a few other au pairs and I drove to Menton for this festival where they make sculptures out of lemons and oranges-- the world famous 78th annual Fete du Citron! Despite the rain, it was well worth the 4 hours of driving. We saw a parade, were attacked by inflatable clowns, walked through the "jardin" of citron sculptures, got lost walking back to the car, ended up in Italy, and got stuck in a traffic jam on the way back (while I was driving-- lets just say I will never stall out going into 1st gear again, yay!). I didn't want to carry around my Nikon all day so I opted to bring my Droid2 instead. I have to say the pictures still came out pretty well. Below is the city of Menton, followed by pictures of the festival. Enjoy!
