Paris and Barcelona

Well we are back in Valencia after a long trip. I had a lot of fun and I am so glad that Sarah was able to come over and travel with me. Tomorrow Sarah leaves and I don't have class again until Tuesday so I plan to rest all day and do homework because I am exhausted.

Paris

We arrived in Paris after a wonderful time in sunny Rome. The first day in Paris we saw the Eifel Tower, The Louvre Musuem (where the Mona Lisa is), and Norte Dame. Everything was so pretty there and we climbed to the top of the towers at Notre Dame and the view was amazing.

The next day in Paris we saw both the Eifel Tower and Moulin Rouge at night. They were really cool. We spent most of the day at Versailes, which is where the King use to live. We actually met a boy from California and he spent the day with us. We even took a boat ride on the pond were the King use to hold boating parties. That was really cool. The gardens there were beautiful and I can't imagine how packed it is there in the summer. We also went to The D'Orrsy Musuem that day as well and saw some Van Gough and Monet. But the paintings that Sarah and I wanted to see the most were not there. That was sad. We also saw the Arc de Triumpe. That was cool too and huge.

Both nights for dinner we ate Omlets and during the day we ate a lot of Crepes. They are sooo yummy. I am going to miss them now that I am back in Spain. But Paris was gorgeous and I had so much fun. Our hostel there was really nice.

Barcelona

We left Paris and headed off to Barcelona. We stayed with Josep and Imma. Josep is an old foreign exchange student from Lapeer of one of my mom's friends from work. Josep is 34 and his wife and him were married in May. They live in a beautiful condo and are super super nice. They cooked dinner and breakfast for us both days. Saturday we went into the city and they went with us. We took a tour around Barcelona and saw things like Sagrada Familia and Parque Guel by Guadi. They were really pretty things. We also all went out to lunch. It was cool. I spoke Spanish a bit with them so it was nice to realize that I really do know how to speak.

Back to Valencia

We came back today from Barcelona and just walked around Valencia. Sarah and I hungout with my friend Kaitlyn from here for a bit. Sarah also met my family and they seemed to like her. We spoke in Spanish which Sarah does not know so that must have been hard. Haha. She should learn.

All in all my time with Sarah has been great. I have enjoyed traveling all over Europe and liked Paris a lot more than I thought I would. You always here mixed thoughts about it. Sarah leaves tomorrow and it'll be sad. But I will be back in the USA in 2.5 weeks. HOW WEIRD!!!???!!! On Wednesday Serge comes to visit from Belgium until Monday. So that'll be fun.

Well Love you
