I’m developing a strange food obsession over here in France. Like I said, I’m eating things I normally wouldn’t try at home and I’m loving them. Things like avocados and tomatoes. But there’s something that I love the most over here that I don’t think I’ll be able to get enough of when I getContinue reading “Tomatoes and mozzarella”

Pigs and Gypsies
I knew coming over to France that I would get a lot of attention. My blonde hair makes me stick out like a sore thumb in this country. However, I never thought the attention would be this extreme. I have to say that I’m already incredibly sick of a lot of people in this country.Continue reading “Pigs and Gypsies”
Cannes, you have my heart.
I don’t even know where to begin when talking about this weekend. All I know is that it can be summed up in one word: Indescribable. We arrived late Friday afternoon and the day was perfect for the beach. Funny thing is, we never really made it there. Friday just happened to be the Fête deContinue reading “Cannes, you have my heart.”
Field trips galore
Today, we explored Hôtel-de-Ville in Lyon, which is like city hall in Lyon. It was absolutely beautiful. It was like a castle, seriously. As you can see from the photo above. Stunning. Most of the day, though, I spent looking forward to the trip that we’re taking tomorrow to Cannes. Auburn, Austin, Tessa and IContinue reading “Field trips galore”

Around the time we wereContinue reading “My host sister is better than your host sister.”

It was a glorious moment when I saw them for the first time. And yes, I was on the verge of tears. And yes, the firstContinue reading “DORITOS”
Time Machine: Medieval Times
Today I visited a real-life castle for the first time in my life. It was incredible. I’m not quite sure that everyone else on the trip had as good a time as I did in Perouges but I have to say that I was completely in my element. The entire place reminded me of scenesContinue reading “Time Machine: Medieval Times”
Ghostface Encounter
Yesterday was an awesome day. Miniatures museum, that’s all I got to say. ..okay, actually that’s not all I have to say, I have a lot more to say. That place was awesome. They had all originals of so many things and it was incredible. For starters, before you even walk into the museum, thereContinue reading “Ghostface Encounter”
Homesick? Say whaaaa.. “We belong in a world that must be strong, oh that’s what dreams are made of”
Two weeks. And I’m craving so many things from home. Soooo many things. Like different kinds of food. I miss variety.. But anyway, I also miss my Momma. Yup, like lots.

And so the quest for Mexican food begins…
I.. Need.. Mexican.. Food.. Soon.. Honestly, I’m not sure how much longer I can last without my chicken nachos from back home. It’s only been two weeks and I’m already dying from deprivation of the deliciousness. Not to mention chips and salsa. OMG. I’d kill for that right now. So, this undying hunger is whatContinue reading “And so the quest for Mexican food begins…”
