CAPTIONS AND COMMENTARY TO COME SOON!! Enjoy the pictures for now :)

Paris, romantic?

I have to say, Paris may be a tiny bit overrated. Yes, the Louvre contains hundreds of important artifacts that keep you busy for hours (or a whole day if you are really thorough). Agreed, the Eiffel Tower trumps almost all other man-made buildings in pure architectural beauty. Not to mention, Notre Dame looks pretty outstanding even from a far distance away. I am still not convinced of this being the best city in Europe.

Maybe I was expecting too much. Maybe it was the expensive metro tickets that somehow always flew out of a crevice in my backpack and scattered the floors of the hostels.

I have to give it something, though. Paris has charm. I enjoyed the small cafes that face the street, so you can people watch AND drink your warm coffee at the same time. I'm all about a good cup of americano and watching people hustle around. Also, seeing the Eiffel Tower sparkling in the night sky gave me a chill. You can view tons of couples kissing and holding hands, too. Way to make the rest of us feel lonely, Paris.

Everyone should see Paris, but I don't know if it is worth an extended amount of time. Three days was a perfect amount...except i never made it to the Longchamp store. Who could have known google maps was actually directing me to a racing course instead of a store? Whoops.

Nice, France-possibly the most beautiful place ever

When yall say Narnia, do you mean Barcelona?

Barcelona was the first stop on my little Eurotrip. It was filled with a smoggy beach, bright colors, great friends and a nice bike ride through the city. I stayed in an apartment with 12 other students, so the living situation was extremely interesting. There was never a dull moment. We arrived in Barcelona late at night and had quite the time getting to the apartment. Everything was in Spanish and we had no map. After an hour or so, we finally arrived at the apartment. The next day, we went to the beach and socialized with one another. The beach was cold and smoggy, but it was a beach nonetheless. We spent the rest of the day roaming around Las Rambla street. The street is filled with bustling markets and several random street performers. The next day we rented bikes and did our own little bike tour. We rode around and saw all the main attractions, such as La Sagrada Familia and the Barcelona bull fighting arena. I would recommend a trip to Barcelona. It is a wonderful place with a great vibe. Everyone was extremely friendly!

This would be me biking around. Photo cred: Stephanie Parker
