go on a trip with my boyfriend
Europe wouldn't have been as great without him 2 months ago

Well, we finally went on a trip exclusively for us, and not content with a simple beach trip or something like that, we went for Italy and France, two weeks! I’ve lived there, but he’s never been, so I got to show him the ropes.

Places like that are much more fun when you’re with the one you love. Actually, ANYPLACE is more fun with him than without.



Re-visit Paris.
Back Again 2 months ago

Went back to Paris, only this time, I went to a Moulin Rouge show, and let me tell you, that was the best part of the whole trip. Everyone should do it at least once. I think I still have glitter in my eye that flew off the stage!



go to Venice
Venice 2 months ago

You know, before I left for this trip, I had a friend tell me that Venice is, in her opinion, “not worth it.”

Screw that. It was amazing. The whole thing: The insane amount of pigeons in St. Mark’s square, the basilica, the masks, the little shops with accordion-players outside them sipping wine, the mysterious history and Shakespeare references, the Grand Canal, and of course, the gondolas. It was all freaking worth it even if it is overpriced.

I got a collector’s spoon, and a mask – the only souvenirs I need – and a thousand pictures with my honey, a few of which feature us kissing with a canal in the background. We took a boat tour and a walking tour, so as to get the in-depth story on the city. Among the more dramatic things that happened, I got so sick I had to lie down in the street, I picked up a pigeon in my bare hands (!), and studmuffin tried gelato for the first time. We never did ride a gondola, though. He was too cheap!

Our hostel was wonderful. It gave us a map, directions to a grocery store, and it let us store our luggage the final day until our train ride to Paris. It even had air conditioning, THANK THE LORD. The view from the windows was pleasant, and so were the roomies.

We got lost in all the twisting streets, and I highly recommend doing that. And I got a picture of him, the love of my life, looking at me with a Venetian sunset in the background.

Pure perfection.
