We Rode The Train All Over Germany And Had A Grand Time

Germany was just what Kaity and I needed. Trees, nature, hipsters, good beer; it was blissful. We took the train from Aachen, Germany to Berlin, then to Nuremberg, and ended in Freiburg (in the Black Forest!). I feel like I really got to know Germany and I think I left my heart there.

 Lots of time on the train, but we didn't complain

 The best, freshly brewed beer

 Our hostel in Freiburg

 We rented bikes and rode them all over town

Easter Break Scenes

A Whirlwind Tour of Paris

It's rainy and gray here, but I don't mind because it gives me an excuse to curl up and drink some tea and catch up on my blogging :) For Easter break I went to Paris (and Germany, that post is to come soon!) to visit my best friend, Stacy, who is studying abroad there. She was the perfect hostess, having made a lengthy list of all the Parisian must-do's for my whirlwind two-day visit.

We both are in love with Bob Dylan, so we visited a fabulous exhibition 

 See, she even cooked for me!

 Shakespeare & Company was one of my favorite stops

 The prettiest at night

 At the Hall of Mirrors in Versaille

 Tea & macaroons at Laudree 

 So many people at the Mona Lisa

My favorite picture I took

Getting There

After the longest flight in the world (not really, but with no sleep it sure felt like it) we finally arrived in London safe and sound.

This is how I felt after about six hours with the very uncomfortable Rick Steves blow-up neck pillow

Natalie is just too tired
