Internet WiFi is terrible, but for all my blog followers out there, Adam and I had an extremely successful three days in Paris. We saw so much: Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Sacre Coeur, Monmarte, Bastille, Pantheon, Jardin Luxembourg, Versailles, Champs de Mars, Notre Dame, Place de Concorde, Tuilieres, Shakespeare & Co, and so much more. Very entertaining and fun-filled 3 days. Tomorrow is Normandy, going to see the American cemetery, Omaha D-Day landing beach and war museums. Maybe even get to Bayeaux for the tapestry if time allows? I'm looking forward to paying my respects to all those that fought for my freedom, should be a great experience.Then, heading to Brussels that evening and will be there until Thursday morning, with a day/night trip to Amsterdam. I'm so excited to go back (home) to Belgium where I basically grew up. So many things here in Paris reminded me of Belgium, the food, language, culture, etc.. and it's just going to be so great going back. Those were some great years of my life. I'm going back to ISB, my school, to visit. Then we're also going to go to a cool park where I went a lot as a kid where the world fair was awhile ago where Belgium built what they then thought would rival the Eiffel Tower (turns out it didn't) but the Atomium is still neat. Brewery tours and castles are also on the list in Ghent. Should be great. Our hotel is right next to the Grand Place downtown. Ahhh so excited, I love you Belgium. By the way, in case you all are wondering, turns out my French is coming right back to me real easily, it's pretty neat. Oui Oui.
SHOUT OUT TO MARIA CIANFICHI for her graduation from George Mason University today. I know I'm busy out here instead of at your graduation like I should be but I was thinking of you all day! I'm so proud of you, you're the best sister and my idol, I can't wait to get my diploma just like you!
Au Revoir for now, talk to you all soonish hopefully.
