Last weekend didn't go quite as I had planned. Instead of hibernating and eating cake, I ended up spending the weekend in Wyoming, playing nurse to an injured friend. No worries, though, it wasn't quite as dreary as it sounds (despite the lack of cake). I actually had a great time, as always seems to happen when I'm up there. It gets harder and harder to leave every time. I swear one of these days I'm going to go for a weekend and just not come back!
Since I'm doing updates, I should also mention that there's only three and a half weeks left until my trip! Woot woot! I decided to cut my time in Dublin and London a little bit short and spend some additional time in Paris. My dad is on sabbatical this semester and will be in Europe at the same time, so we're going to meet up in Paris to finish out both of our trips. We'll be staying in the same condo we were in last summer. So yeah, 5 days in Dublin, 5 in London and another 5 in Paris. Speaking of Paris, I never did post any pics from last summer's trip. I didn't actually take any pictures on the trip, but I stole these from my brother:
 |
| The Moulin Rouge. Sadly, Ewan McGregor was nowhere to be found. |
 |
| From the top of the Arc de Triomphe. |
 |
| Did I mention that I hiked up many, many stairs to get to the top? |
 |
| Stained glass at Sainte Chapelle |
 |
| This place was pretty amazing. |
 |
| Pictures obviously don't do it justice. It must be experienced in person. |
 |
| I love gargoyles and other grotesque carvings. Good times! |
 |
| The atmosphere in old churches . . . amazing! |
 |
| Mass at Notre Dame. |
 |
| Notre Dame |
 |
| More Notre Dame |
 |
| People watching is always half the fun! |
 |
| From our boat trip on the Seine. |
 |
| Loved all the little scenes like this. |
 |
| Chopin's grave |
 |
| Pere Lachaise Cemetery |
 |
| The area dedicated to WWII was unbelievable. |
 |
| The monument for Auschwitz. |
