My Way Through France!!

The first place we went to in France was Avignon, where we only spent about 2 hours but believe me, me and Trella made the best of the little time we had!. we walked along and looked into some of the stores when we found a grocery store and bought a couple of bottled coca-colas for the night because we were going to be at a hotel that wasn't around anything. we then picked up a baguette of bread and some cheese, we sat down on some old steps and enjoyed our french style snack! as we were then walking back to our meeting spot lucky me dropped a glass bottle of soda right in the middle of the square with plenty of people I knew around, can you say embarrassing? We then went on to Nice in the French Riviera!! It was beautiful!! we spent the entire day lounging at the beach which was not sand by the way by "peables". one of the nights we went with the group to Monte Carlo, Monaco and got to, for the price of 10€ of course, see the Grand Casino. we also went to this place called Wayne's Bar which was fun, but felt a little bit like a high school prom. Today we left France and are now in Italy, we stopped for a few hours in the Italian Riviera and then moved on to Pisa where we swam and had dinner by the pool. we then went up stairs and decided to have a pillow fight in the hallway, but forgot to take our key with us and got locked out!!!! Aren't we smart!!!! We are having a lot of fun though...although there is this crazy guy on the tour whom we have dubbed "jeepers creepers" he is actually from San Fran so... stay away from safeways in the city. he has this way of talking at you rather than to you and thinks he is brilliant even though he didn't realize when he started at an SF JC that before you can transfer you have to take your GE classes and dropped out, Truly inspirational isn't he????

Barcelona!!!

Yup so we are in Barcelona, which happens to have the second highest petty crime rate in the world!!!! Yes! No really this is the only city where I have been truly worried. But I am having so much fun! To fill you in Madrid turned into a really fun place to go out and dance at night!! I love Disco Techs they are so much fun! ...So...heres a funny story Trella and I go back to the hotel in Madrid and were going up to our room to get ready for dinner, there were 4 different elevators and one had been having problems that morning...but apperently it was working...NOT! we got stuck in the elevator!!! oh my gosh it was hilarious we were only in there for 10 or 12 minutes but it was scary and funny all at once!! Today has been really fun though! We didn´t have group plans today so Trella and I got up at about 9:20am and breakfast was supposed to be upstairs, well we went up and there wasn´t anybody or any food except about 2 trays with cressants (I know that is spelled wrong but I hope that you get it!) anyway we stole a few because we weren´t going to go without breakfast, and then it turns out that breakfast was downstairs!!! but we went off and spent most of the day at the beach and the water was So clear...but then we went for fish and chips for lunch and we didn´t see it on the menu, so the waiter ¨explained¨that it was either sardines or small fish, we chose small fish thinking that it would be some sort of trout or something like that just not a big hugh fish, but no when they say small fish they mean little inch long skinny fish and there was a whole pile of fish on the plate! AHHHHH!!! wow it has been eventful, but tonight should be exciting too we are going to flamanco dancing and then out on the town!!

But I really do miss my other tour girls!!!! I love you all...oh and Sara I came really close to buying some ray bans, but then talked myself out of it. Miss You All
