BACK!

I came back from my adventures in France on Wednesday and I'm happy to say my jet-lag is finally wearing off. I had a great time traveling around Paris, Saint-Esteve, Perpignan, Saint-Lys, and Toulouse in France, as well as spending a few hours in Roses, Spain and Brussels, Belgium. I got to see places like the Eiffel Tower (I went all the way to the top!), the Louvre (and Mona Lisa!), Pompidou Center, Sacre-Coeur, Notre Dame, Point Zero, Galaries Lafayette, Montmatre, Versailles, Pere Lachaise cemetery (where Jim Morrison and Edith Piaf are burried), Shakespeare & Co, Jardin du Luxembourg, Champs-Elysees, thrift shops, cafes, Musee Grevin (a wax museum), the metro, and more! It was a fabulous time and I enjoyed nearly every second! However, as much fun as Europe was, I am glad to be back home with my cats, chickens, and other familiar things (my own bed!).

Au Revoir USA, Bonjour France!

EEP!
I'm off to France on my exciting voyage! I've waited since last August for this day! I'm approaching the airport right now and since I won't have internet access or the energy to update this blog for a few days, don't be upset. But don't worry, I'll be sure to update with pictures and events from my amazing journey!
Until then,
Au Revoir!
Bisous,
Ella

EEP!

So omygoodness. I can hardly wait. In exactly 17 days, 19 hours, 3 minutes, and 10 seconds, I'll be heading out on the adventure of a lifetime... to FRANCE! As you may have picked up from early posts, I'm a HUGE Francophile (obsessed with France and French cultures, I actually plan on living in France when I'm older). So as you may imagine, I'm pretty ecstatic... I'm a little nervous but mostly THRILLED! WHOOPEE!!!

While on my voyage, I'll be sure to update regularly with pictures and experiences so stay tuned!

"Favorite book of your favorite writer"

Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

This, along with A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and others, are at the tippy-top of my favorite books list.This book, as the loads of reviews mentioned, makes me fall in love with it. It features two of my favorite things: France and romance. Anna, a movie-critic aspirer from Atlanta, Georgia, is sent of to the School of America in Paris, contrary to her wishes of staying home and working with Toph, her coworker (and "heartthrob") at the local movie theater. However Anna finds out that Paris isn't nearly as bad as she expected as well as discovering what, or who, her true home is. (Certainly where the heart is). Please read it. It makes me happy. :)
