Finding intranetz while in Europa was actually a lot harder than I though which resulted in terrible upkeep with my blog, but a fabulash journal and lots of great pictures.
THESE WERE THE HIGH LIGHTS:
France:
Our teachers took us to the Eiffle tower our first day in Paris, a bunch of us loved it so much we went back out last night. It is massively enormous and at night it lights up!
We tried to go to the top of it the first time there as a group, and waited in line for over an hour and a half, only to discover that we didn't have the right kind of tickets. I though it was funny--others were not so amused.
I had originally brought my fripod ti listen to "Soco amaretto lime" on the tippy top but since that didn't work out I sat across the plaza and watched the lights. Under those new lights and the same old moon I realized that there was a LOT more out there for me in the world and that it was time to finally let go of ties that lead to heartache, bridges that should just be burned, and people that didn't help me be a better person. This is my life and I will never again let myself feel like it is going on around me and I am just sitting still waiting for my chance to join in. I've got the reigns now.
The last night in Paris--when we went back-- I brought fripod again and listened to the same old songs that make me feel infinite. The eiffle tower stood before me as my only friend that night and i couldn't have been happier. For those few moments nothing else mattered except the fact that I was on a great journey and I was doing something that I knew was going to change my life forever and give me a glimps of all the wonders that this world still has in store for me.
Other high pointa in France included watching a mass in Notre Dame, Chartres, Church in Paris, and the Louvre.
home from europe: not happy.
