Merci Beaucoup.

Thank you Paris.
Thank you for opening my eyes and heart to the world.
Thank you for introducing me to some of the most amazing people,
and for creating the most unforgettable of memories.
Thank you for making me appreciate my home,
and for making me crave the sights, tastes, scents, and textures of the rest of the world.
Thank you for helping me find myself,
I was never going to find her if I had always stayed in Rhode Island.
Thank you for your magic,
I will always love you.

It's official...

I have jumped the pond and for some reason they have let me back into the mother land.
After a grueling day of traveling, I was welcomed to the most heart-warming of hellos a girl could ask for. In the way my sister and I know best, we successfully made the biggest scene in the arrivals section of the airport. That was exactly what I needed- a great explosion of love.

Je t'aime

Prague has the Lennon wall.
Paris has the Love wall.
Found in Montmartre, behind the metro stop Abbesses (line 12):
Over 300 phrases
translated from hundreds of the world's languages-
all playing with the imagery of love.

Chocolate Covered Ants.

Next time you want to feel unique and cultured, I don't advise trying chocolate covered ants.


Step 1: Purchase said product at the grand Bon Marché

Step 2: Sit in the Sevres-Babylone Metro Stop

Step 3: Place said delicacy in ta bouche

Step 4: Enjoy the crunchy, protein filled treat.
Note: Make sure to carry floss with you.

Although they are a great party prank.

"In Paris they simply stared when I spoke to them in French; I never did succeed in making those idiots understand their language."

Praha, CZ

I'm off to Prague, CZ (Praha) with the lovely Lee and Laura. This city is unarguably one of my favorite cities in the world. (I went on a school trip prior.) Filled with an amazing history, kind people, and incredible sites I am glowing with excitement to return.

The safety instructions on Sky Europe were slightly disturbing.
In case of an emergency, please place baby in floatable coffin.

They had to ask the flight attended how it worked, of course.

If you appreciate beer, head to Prague. You won't find anything like this in the states.



Holiday season in Prague.
The Old Town Square
During the holiday season, Prague's Old Town Square is booming with traditions of all sorts.

Christmas ham for 100 Kč/gm (about $.06/gm) anyone?
Check out the stud in the background.

Adam and Eve


Astronomical Clock
aka Prague Orloj
This clock is very cool.
The Astronomical Dial represents the positions of the sun and moon.
Hourly, "The Walk of the Apostles" performs.
As well as a calendar dial with medallions representing the months.



My boyfriends.

The friend I made at our hostel.

You might want to wear a helmet when riding down the escalator to the metro. I have never seen on this steep!

The Charles Bridge
The main connection between the old town and the rest of the city.
Hopping to the other side, you'll find the beautiful Prague castle as well as many other great discoveries.

Walk down from the Prague Castle.

The John Lennon Wall:
a.k.a one of the most beautiful things in the world
Velkopřevorské náměstí118 00
Praha, Praha, Czech Republic
Created by liberal-minded "Lennonism" students in 1988
who were protesting against the communistic regulations of their government.







Celebrating my 21st birthday... The Czech way
I'll let you use your imagination.
