My life in pictures...

...because I have to leave for class soon and words take too long. But if I don't update substantially before next Wednesday or so, then dad you have my permission to book as many segway tours as you wish in Barca. (Shh...this is really a win-win for me. Imagine my parents on segways) 

So, here's life lately: Paris, London, Paris, Dublin, Paris, Normandy, PARIS.  God, I'm in love with this city!

But let's start with London (3/5-3/8).  Sam was there for her spring break from Emerson, so I was able to spend the weekend at Kristen's school with her, which was fantastic!

London Eye 

Parliament and Big Ben (which apparently no one from Britain refers to as Ben)

Here's something comical: Note the traffic. Then try picturing me trying to cross the street.

Just some genius British advertising.  

But really, I actually noticed that all their ads were great. 

This one's just the best (sorry, dad).

I took a 5 am train back to Paris Monday morning to make it to my class at 10. 

This is from about halfway through my 2 hour nap on the TGV: I woke up to the sunrise! 

Still don't know if it was in Britain or France, but it was great.

KATIE VISITS

So I haven't exactly been updating. I'm sorry! But, once again, I haven't been sleeping either so it's justified I would say. Katie came to visit for her spring break (she leaves tomorrow and I will in all likelihood cry) and in the 6 or so days we had together I tried to show her as many of the Paris must-sees as possible. The only problem was I was in class for the best parts of the day. We worked around it pretty well though, and  I'm a little bit proud of us since we managed to wake up early every day and make it to: 

-The Eiffel Tower (of course)

-The Louvre

-d'Orsay

-Centre Pompidou

-Notre Dame/ Ile st Louis (Berthillon!!) 

-Montmartre/Sacre Coeur 

-L'arc de Triumph/Champs-elysees

-view from the top of Montparnasse

And we've ate and taken walks around the Tuileries & Luxembourg gardens, the Bastille area, as well as St. Michel, St. Germain and the Latin quarter. Plus shopping at Les Halles! 

Anyway, I will try not to be as spacey on here, but for the next week I'm making no promises. Tomorrow for example, we're leaving here by 8 am to get Kate to the airport, then I go straight to class at 12, then straight to the train station for London to see Kristen and Sam! Hope everything's going well back home, I'll talk to you soon I promise!
