France- A Place of Delicious Bread, To-Die-For Ice Cream, and My Favorite Sparkling Drink: Limonade

I haven't posted in almost a year, so time to fill you guys in. I WENT TO FRANCE. Now, this is something I've wanted to do for most of my young adult life and I was finally able to go to France for 5 weeks. An entire month left me with a wonderful feeling of closeness to a place many visitors only have a short time in. I went with school and for the first 4 weeks, we were in "classes" (I use the word "classes" loosely due to the fact that they were more like planned adventures through the cities.) We stepped foot in a classroom once, for our orientation on the second day of the trip. It was really an amazing experience and I just can't wait to go back again one day.

Now, five WEEKS of pictures is... a lot. I wish I could show you all, but its truly a ridiculous number of pictures so here are some of my favorites.

The Eiffel Tour from the Montparnasse Building

St. Chapelle 

Mont Saint Michel

Normandy Cemetery

Macarons from D'Alloyeau

Oh, did I mention my mom and I went to England for the weekend?

We went to Cardiff, Wales to see the Dr. Who Experience.

The last few days we were there was for France's independence day.

Our hotel was pretty close.

The fireworks were absolutely unbelievable from our balcony.

In all, it was probably one of the most amazing things I have ever done. I'm so happy I mustered up the courage and money to go to this wonderful country.
