Sunbeams

Salut,
Finally we had a beautiful warm sunny day here in Paris.


So of course we got some ice cream sat by the seine and walk around a few outdoor markets. Just killing time... and trying to find things to do!
A Plus Tard,

Hey,
Not everyday is that special here in Paris so I thought I would share one with you...
And a song too...

1. I wake up and get ready for another day in the city.
2. Walk 15 min. to the RER
3.  Take the metro to your destination, sometimes seeing cute notes in bad English.
 
(Enjoy Life Is Beautiful<3)
4. Walk around on hundred year old cobblestone.
 
5. Quickly look at all the street art as you walk by.
 
 6. See all the beautiful old buildings.
 
7. Drink some Orangina.
 
(Got to have some adventures... with black Orangina)
8. Listen to the talented street artists.
 
9. Eat some heavenly pastries.
 
10. and last but not least maybe catch a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower or something...  Maybe while on a Farris Wheel?
 
Okay... so maybe not so ordinary... In fact it is like a dream come true!! Basically Life is AMAZING!
Au revoir,
P.C.E.

I Love Love, do you?

Bonjour
I've never really even payed attention to Valentines Day but who can't in the city of love? So we decided to send the whole day doing wonderful things!
-->Things to do on Valentines Day:
Get heart shaped pastries
Get a free rose
Drink Delicious Hot Chocolate
Watch a love movie 
Hope your Valentines Day was as good as mine!

P.S. There was a downfall... I don't even have someone to love... hahaha

Whiff of Venizia

Buongiorno,
Italian accents are the best!! And there sure was a lot to hear in beautiful Venice.


But for only being 414.57 km2 it is almost impossible to find your way around! Luckily some Graffiti showed us the way. 

(The jail in the concierge)
After wandering around and getting lost we finally found a nice old man to take us for a gondola ride. When ever he had something to say or to show us he would say "Hello, look at me, look at me!" He was cute.
Our friend Rialto Bridge... we knew how to get there.
Cold = no smell and no tourist. That was nice except we always wanted to find somewhere warm. unfortunately we always went the wrong places... like the tower where we probably could have been blown away if there wasn't bars!! 

(top of the tower)
Thankfully the water buses were warm and Murano Island was a far ways away with lots of warm glass shops.

When I think about it I still can't believe I'm even in Europe!!! I have dreamed about this my whole life! There is just so many different places to see that are so different than back home but still just as beautiful and wonderful!! There are just soooo many places to go and people to meet! 
So here I go, Ciao

I'm Glad I'm Not Blind

Salut,
From stone heads to glass pyramids. There is a limitless amount of beautiful, scary and interesting art here. Just trying to give you a taste.

P.S. Don't those heads look like they are from Lord of the Rings



 

 

Wish I had a Panorama Camera

Bonjour, 
With so many beautiful things so close together its hard not to just buckle and go buy myself a panorama camera... But this camera is pretty good so I guess its not that bad. 
I can't stop taking pictures at night! True to its name everything is so lit up here all the time and it think it is sooooo beautiful!
 

 
And even though there is not much greenery, no mountains, ugly whomping willow trees and TONS of pigeons its strangely still beautiful!





So I guess you say I absolutely LOVE it here! And even though I miss home, I will be very very sad to leave! So, I guess I will just have to savor every moment while I am here.
With love,
P.C.E.

P.S. Watch this video; its is the suburb where I live here.

The City Of Light

Bonjour, (finalement)



(P.S. French would never be so loud!)
Ce n'est pas comment Paris est mais il est très beau nuit et jour!!

Ils ont également l'art créatif,
un sephora très grand,
et verre extrêmement beau. (had to look that on up..)
All things considered my trip so far has been wonderful! I've gotten stuck between the metro train doors, I've eaten and enjoyed all of the AMAZING food here, I've gotten lost TONS, I've seen legendary pieces of art, I've fallen into people, I've shopped, I found out cider is alcoholic here, I've walked until my feet have almost fallen off, I've met people, I've listened and given money to metro entertainers, been yelled and by a police officer, I've almost died while being in and around cars, and I've learned... somewhat...
Grosses bises,
P.C.E
