These past two weeks were a dream. I was on my euro tour and let me tell you, they don't let you rest. I was going, going, going. I went so fast that now I have a cold. Go figure. We shared everything on that bus. I won't go into detail though.
I don't think I have enough time to tell you guys all about those amazing 15 days. So instead, I'll tell you what I liked and what I didn't like. Sound good? I thought so.
What I liked: The food, Leon, Prague, the beer in Munich.
What I didn't like: The weather(at times), Paris.
Guess I have some explaining to do. I'll start with the easy stuff first.
I adored the food. Except it was the food during lunch. The food for dinner at the hotel wasn't that good. I had a quiche to die for in Leon. I mean it was heavenly goodness. All that egg and peppers, ah, so good.
Prague was amazing. I've never seen a city like it before. The old mixed with the new but even the new isn't that new. I loved walking across the bridges and seeing the old city. Plus the shopping was amazing. It was all so cheep. One euro is equal to about 25 Czech crones, which means everything is cheep. You just have to know where to look. Plus, I was able to go to the biggest club in Europe. 5 floors of different music. It was pretty cool. Dancing with my friends was also nice. It was a good way to spend the night. If it hadn't been so hot and humid in Prague it would've been even better.
Okay, Germans are known for their beer skills and when in Rome.... I had to try the beer. I even went to the English Gardens aka the beer garden. Don't worry, I didn't go over the top. I know my limits. So the beer was good. I only had the blond beers because they are of lighter alcohol content. Still, a blond beer with a giant pretzel... Yum.
Now why didn't I like Paris? Well everyone makes Paris out to be Paris. I mean they make it sound like a huge deal. Sure it's a beautiful city but... I don't know. It rained on my Eiffel Tower day. The Louvre was crowded and it was just so touristy. Our last day in Paris I enjoyed. We went to Montmar and it was beautiful. It's the hill next to the city and it's just so quaint. Yeah, there are tourists but it's a different life style. It's relaxed. So that was my favorite part of Paris. Maybe I didn't like Paris that much because I didn't have enough time. 3 days is not enough to go everywhere. I missed the Latin Quarter and Chames D'Elyse. Maybe it's because I went to all the tourist places instead of going out and exploring the lesser known parts. Who knows? Would I go back? Without a doubt. Would I do it like I did? Probably not. I'm not the kind of person who likes to be stuck in a big group, touring the city by bus while the guide drawls on monotonically. I'd rather be out and about seeing the city.
So that's that. My Euro tour went to quickly. It seemed like a small Cinderella story. The clock has struck midnight and now I'm back in my life in Italy. Except this Cinderella story is also coming to an end. The clock will hit midnight and I'll be back home, wondering if this year was a dream. That's all I know for certain.
My life back home is not established. It's not set in stone, more it's jello. School is set in stone, so is cross country but my friends? Yeah, that's the jello part. I'll take it one day at a time.
So that's it. I'll try to write before I get back. I don't know how possible that'll be. I'm pretty busy. But I will set some time to write. Sound good?
