Wow I am a SLACKER!!! I cannot believe it has been a month since my last post! I have just been so busy that I have not had time to write! Well so much has gone on since my last post! Mom and Lizzie came to visit, I went to Barcelona, and then to Scotland!!! I still cannot believe what an amazing trip I am on and I am enjoying ever minute of it!
On October 8th my mom and sister came to visit me in Paris! We had a wonderful week! I showed them all the wonders of Paris! Having them here was such a treat! We did so much around the city and I actually got to eat a good dinner for a straight week! The last weekend they were here we ventured off to London to stay with one of my mom's oldest friend! That was one of my FAVORITE weekends yet! we had such a wonderful time exploring London! We went to lots of food and clothing markets, which were a lot of fun! I really enjoyed seeing the city like a local instead of a tourist! While we were there I finally had fish and chips, and I must say the restaurant had the best fish I have ever had! I was very sad when the day came for us to say goodbye! It was so nice to have something from home there if even if it was just for a little while!
Two days after mom and Lizzie left, I headed out to Barcelona, Spain! We left very early in the morning and were in Barcelona by lunchtime! It was warm when we arrived in Spain. It kind of reminded me of Miami. I must admit that it took me a little while to start liking Spain. But other than the food, I did eventually like it! The architecture and Mediterranean Sea were gorgeous! I loved the Sagrada Familia Cathedral and the Picasso museum! The nightlife in Barcelona was a little too much for me! I am not that much of a night owl! Altogether Spain was a great experience and I am so glad I went!
When we returned to Paris we had to go back to class :(! We had a French test and it was not fun! Luckily, I had a lot to be excited for because the roommates and myself left for Edinburgh, Scotland for the weekend! Scotland was all I thought it would and more! I absolutely loved every second of it! It was soooo pretty and breathtaking! We went to the Edinburgh Castle, took a bus tour of the city, and experienced the pub life! I saw lots of plaid and wool! Bagpipes were everywhere and so were the kilts! The people in Scotland were very nice for the most part, and very welcoming to tourist! The weather was SO cold while we were there! We had to bundle up at all times! It was so nice to be in a country that spoke English for a little bit!
I must say that my life couldn't be better than it is right now! (well maybe if I had all of my friends and family and moe's here!) I think I have officially caught the travel bug because all I do is think of where I can go next! It is going to be soo bitter sweet when I have to return back home! There is some truth in what people say about finding yourself and creating a new outlook on life by traveling. I came to Europe wanting to buy shoes and handbags and now all I want is to experience new cultures and places! I am so blessed to have this opportunity! Well until next time...Au Revior!
