I know it's been awhile since my last update, but whatever, I've been having fun.

Last Saturday we went to Saint Emilion, this absolutely beautiful little city, very old, just about an hour outside of Bordeaux. It's from Saint Emilion that about a full quarter, if not more, of France's entire list of exported wines originate. There are ...

Yesterday was the last day of Intensive Language courses, so today (Friday) and the rest of the weekend we have all to ourselves!

Last night we decided to celebrate a bit by going to an English pub (The Cock and Bull) where we all met up for drinks and merry times. The buses didn't run past 9h30 so I had to walk there, which took about ...

I don't want to leave.

There, I said it. Just ship me all my ****, come visit me on Christmas, but *******mit this place is like living in ****ing Disneyland when you're seven years old.

J'explique...

Yesterday I went to Place de la Victoire with Simon to buy a phone. First we walked down Rue St. Catherine (which is IM...

I got my suitcase back, thank GOD! And everything was still in it, no problems there. I finally have some clean underwear, cuz I was kinda worried that I would run out soon...

So far I've had to wake up at 6h or 6h30 every morning to have a quick breakfast and then head out to the bus, which takes me to the tram, which then takes me to ...

Jess waited in the help line but the trai...

Hey-ho tout le monde!! The 'hizzle' is for you Kaylee Jo, if you happen to read this. Today is yet another lovely day of greve (strike) in France. Aside from the nearly two week long strike of the students in university all over France, this is a different one comprised of all the public service workers. I agree with them though, Sarkozy has jus...

I'm not going to go so far as to call this travel blog a failure. Let's just say it could have been better. Truth be told, it's a very low priority on my list of " à faires" . In order to write an interesting journal, one must constantly be on the look-out for interesting things to write about. Egalement, one must also actually take the time to ...

I hope to keep count of those who are and will be making this experience come true. Encounters form the heart of travel, and knowing who we are and who whe are linked to forms the backbone for these encounters. _______________________________________ _____________________ ______ Some I bring in my mind and carry in my heart, for they give me ins...

Under Re-Construction... _______________________________________ _____________________ Here you'll find an overview of my peregrinations throughout parts of this outrageously beautiful world. The beauty is there, at our doorstep, but when away the eyes are more widely open, the ears and the nose are awaking the curiosity and the taste, the feet ...
