A Vacation from my Vacation


So I just spent the past week travelling around Europe because it’s only a stone’s throw away from Morocco.  And I will try not to make you too jealous by giving you the highlights. 

Food.  Lots and lots of food.  Tapas and Paella from Barcelona.  Gnocci and Gelato from Italy.  Crepes and Cheese from Paris.  And those are just the highlights.  I have never eaten so well in my life. 

And the sights!  I desperately want Gaudi to design my future house after visiting the Segrada Familia and Parc Guell. 





There were too many gorgeous things to see in Rome and I managed to see everything I wanted to! The trevi fountain was by far my favorite, but I saw the colloseum and the Roman forum and so many sites that I have seen in the informational videos substitutes play during Latin class.

As much I loved all of the sites I saw in Paris, my trip was majority revolved around food and my desire to eat as many crepes and cheeses as possible.  It rained the entire time, but I was still able to see some beautiful sites.

My last day, I flew into Tangier, so I killed a little time there before returning home.  I spoke more spanish there than in Spain.
