Nothing says welcome to Paris more than witnessing a robbery 10 minuetes after entering the city. Bonjour everyone! The Nebraskans have arrived in Paris. This city has been my dream vacation ever since I was a little elementary schooler. My room has pictures upon pictures of the different monuments that make Paris, well Paris. Every night I fall asleep looking at the Arch de Triumph and now I can't believe the real thing is right in front of me. The feeling is just too surreal. Theres shopping upon shopping upon shopping to be done here. Too much for just one day. From the praised names such as Louis Vuitton and Tiffany to small painting shops there really is something for everyone. The City of Paris is so rich in culture. On every street you can easily discover restaurants from many different backgrounds.(Not to mention all the crêpes that are a little too acessable as well.) I'm not sure I ate anything that tasted bad here. All of the carbs, croissants and gelato may not have been the healthiest but it sure was the tastiest. Being able to see the Effiel tower was incredible. It's so much bigger than the painting on my wall presented it to be. I don't care what the French say, I don't think it's an ugly lamppost. Paris was stunningly beautiful. I really understand why they call it the city of love. And not just because of the obnoxious amounts of PDA and wine around the city but the views, the smells, and the atmosphere are simply indescribable. Yet again, here are some pictures from my few days in Paris.

Countless cups of coffee, 3 delays and 2 hours of sleep later I have finally arrived at Heathrow Airport in London! Besides the fact that I could figure out how to work the elevators and the toilets here, London is absolutely amazing. There's so much history here. And thanks to 10th grade World History, I actually know a lot of it. The hospitality in this city is UNREAL and everyone is so nice! Everywhere you go people are dressed to the nines. Even at the local coffee house! Anyways here are a few photos of the amazing City of London.
TODAY IS THE DAY Y'ALL!!! Here we go for a 16 day adventure into 6 countries and many cultures. With my passport in one hand and coffee in the other I'm so ready to depart on this journey. I'm not quite sure how I'm going to handle this inevitable language barrier overseas. Heck, I can barely speak English! Maybe French will be easier? One can only hope. There is no doubt in my mind that I will look like a typical tourist with my name tag and strict dress code, so in that case, I will leave you with this.
Au revoir, Arrivedercl, Auf Wiedersehen! |
