2nd stop in Italia...Riomaggiore.






This place was absolutely amazing. Jessalyn and I split off from the group for a few days and our "hostel" ended up being an incredible apartment, all to ourselves, with a balcony right on the ocean, and overlooking the city on the cliffs. More pictures to come...but for now here are a few!

Roma!

I'll be updating these photos once I get more done, but for now here is a look at our first stop in Italia!

Paris, France...where dreams come true.

I really loved Paris. I wasn't expecting to like it as much as i actually do! When we went to Paris during my High School trip I just remembered the Eiffel tower and tourist stops like that, but this time I actually got to experience the city and the way of life! I really love the streets of Paris...I decided that it is a HUGE thing for me to have wide sidewalks, i think it makes or breaks the feel of a city...and Paris has great sidewalks. The river is beautiful. Here are the top 10 from the trip:

1. I finally bought a pair of Converse...Chuck taylors...All stars....Chucks...whatever you want to call them....at an awesome Paris thrift store.
2. The Musee d'Orsay was awesome
3. We saw them running the Olympic torch through Paris....and also experienced all of the protesting!
4. We went to a swing/jazz dance club
5. I also bought a blue dress from a vintage shop :)
6. The pastries....need i say more?
7. Everyone else was obsessed with the crepes....I wasn't that impressed.

Im just going to go with the top 7 because I am drawing a blank. Here are some photos :)

















The Louvre..........






Ahh....Musee d'Orsay!

I really loved this museum. My favorites were Monet, Van Gogh, Degas, and Toulous-Lautrec! Here are some photos!
