Way back in January when this blog was a mere two months old, I wrote one of my most popular blog posts ever: Places To Go Bucket List. The list consisted of ten places, but I only really went into the first few, which I have checked off. Since then, the list has changed a bit, … Continue reading Places To Go Bucket List II
One Last Grand Tour
I woke up at 6am on a Sunday morning. I think the woman I was sharing the hostel room with was pissed off at me, but from what I could tell, she had somewhere to be pretty early, too. Still, I completely understand not wanting to wake up to the sound of someone else's alarm … Continue reading One Last Grand Tour
High, from Paris
I love heights. Am I afraid of them? Sure, I guess I have that healthy dose of fear that tells me to step away from an edge. But it never stops me from getting as close to the edge as possible. In fact, I don’t think I would love heights so much if I didn’t … Continue reading High, from Paris
I Ran Away
This place has terrible internet connection. Here’s hoping I don’t have to find the nearest Starbucks to post. (Update: I just needed a password. It works fine.) Boy have I got a post for you. Get comfortable. When I first came to England, I was so excited to be in Europe where all these countries were … Continue reading I Ran Away
Paris Day 11: One Last Hurrah
Today we went for lunch on a Seine River cruise. We had good food as we passed a bunch of the famous landmarks, some that we've visited, others that we haven't. There was live music and lots of wine and people waving from the sidewalks by the river. It felt very fancy. Afterwards, we just … Continue reading Paris Day 11: One Last Hurrah
Paris Day 10: Shopping
I think I put off writing this post because I couldn't bring myself to write the title with double digits. Has it been ten days already? Our trip is almost over! Yesterday was good, but Sarah and I didn't do any touristy stuff. Instead we went shopping. I told my sister I'd get her something … Continue reading Paris Day 10: Shopping
Paris Day 9: *Sigh*
Today was full of disappointments. To begin with, it was a Sunday. Everything's closed on Sundays. But you know, the morning started out alright. I woke up before Sarah so order has been restored, and we had some perfect croissants for breakfast. I didn't know croissants could be perfect until I had mine this morning. We … Continue reading Paris Day 9: *Sigh*
Paris Day 8: A Vacation
We climbed 387 steps to the top of Notre Dame, and that was only to the top. The view was killer. The wait was even longer than the catacombs, and it was cold all morning and most of the afternoon while we just stood there. I even wore a really cute pair of shorts, which was … Continue reading Paris Day 8: A Vacation
Paris Day 7: Fancy Schmancy
I'm starting this late, just because I got distracted by the internet. That's my only excuse. I started late this morning, too. We went to L'Arc de Triomphe today. I can't believe it took us a week to see something so monumental. Truthfully, though, maybe I've just seen too many pictures of it or something, … Continue reading Paris Day 7: Fancy Schmancy
Paris Day 6: Down To The Bones
According to Sarah, the Catacombs of Paris are technically a museum, which means our Museum-A-Day streak is still alive! We also went into a patisserie today, so I guess I can add those to the tally board. Museums: 6 Churches: 3 Patisseries: 4 Great. As I said, we visited the Catacombs of Paris today. We arrived at noon … Continue reading Paris Day 6: Down To The Bones
