Ibis - Grenoble (Centre)

... moitié) dans les pays Scandinaves. J'ai décidé de partir et voyager, parce que j'ai pas vu beaucoup d'endroit encore en Europe( L'aéroport Charles-de-Gaules, Bordeaux, Moulis-en-Médoc, la gare de train à Lyon, Grenoble, pis Morzine). J'ai besoin de voir du pays avant d'être pogné 4 mois et demi sur une pente de ski. Pis le Sud de l'Europe en automne... c'est pas vargeux! Fak j'me dit tant qu'a avoir frette m'a gelé pour vrai, sans trop gelé réellement; héhé!!! Donc, ouin ...

Donc apres cela ...

The Snow Sluts Tour of Saint Sorlin Teaser....more to follow! I begin my next Europe jaunt by legging it to the over ground connecting train to Clapham Junction. 20 min later I had made contact with my informer, named for the purposes of this blog and in real life in fact (funny that) Andrew Taylor. Waiting outside the main entrance to my intended railway station, I carefully scanned the passers by for possible 'Andrews' coming to meet me to officially commence the 7 days of ...

Today is the first day of my spring break...whoo hoo! I will be jetting off to Germany tomorrow morning to attend the 22nd Annual Satanic Stomp, a two day psychobilly festival in Speyer, Germany. I will be meeting up with two Salt Lake girls, Kristina and Mary. Where to after that? Who knows! I am ...

... Belgen passeren langs hier om te gaan skieen/snowboarden in de Alpen etc...Het was er dus zeer druk! Op de koop toe was het ook nog kermis in Grenoble waar zeer veel volk was..en dan nog de belangrijke match Grenoble-Lorient (ze stonden beiden op 35 punten en de winnaar was zo goed als zeker van het behoud want vanaf een paar ploegen achter hen, zakken ze af naar de tweede klasse..en die ploeg staat op 29 punten). Om Grenoble dus binnen te geraken, hebben we een half uur staan ...

Today, I have been on this planet 22 years. I cannot believe that this past year has flown by so fast. This is particularly strange after having Megan here last week. We met three weeks into freshman year, so we have been friends almost my whole college career. It was so bizarre to find ourselves discussing our upcoming graduation and our post-degree plans. In two months I will no longer be an undergraduate but the holder of Bachelor's of Arts....WTF.

... shocking because of the statistics thrown out there...hard to comprehend! The permanent exhibit itself had too much text for my taste in a museum, but had a nice section on the role of women during the resistance. I also enjoyed the propaganda section. Our last stop was the hotel de ville, or city hall, to see the majestic fountain they had in the square there. Enormous! 5 of ...

... the world to the fort de la Bastille, then thru a grotto, and thru a hole in a fence and up thru the alpine forest to to top of the mountain! Last day of 2007, we drove up to the Chamrousse ski field, and i snowboarded my little heart out, falling face first into the snow multiple times! Had fondue that evening, and hit the bars and clubs of Grenoble to welcome in 2008. Woke up on the first in time to pack our bags and make the big journey home to bed.

... rendre compte, de revenir après la fermeture, de chiâler, excuses publiques bon d'accord Genova ça va... ouais, connard. Genova : Communiste. Ça sent dans l'air, dans les petites ruelles avec les chiens et les chats et les bouts de pauvres et les librairies anars et les places des arts et les affiches pour concerts. Bon, on peut se coucher dans la gare par terre, bien, alors promenades. Soirée autogestion vers minuit dans une petite arri ...

... It's quite cold here, but very dry, so no signs of snow yet. Everyone tells me to have patience, as the snow will come (hopefully soon is what I'm thinking!). This past weekend I went for a hike in the Chartreuse, one of the mountain ranges that surround the city. I went with my friend Nicolas, his girlfriend Severine, and her son, Vincent. Photos attached are from the hike, as well as some of my cute bedroom. I hope all is well! I will try to send updates more often now. Holly
