What I've Been Up To

I can't believe how long it has been since I blogged. I feel terrible that I left and how my stress got in the way of blogging. Anyways, my exams and projects are over now. I'd rather move ahead and be positive about my many backlogged photos that I can share.(edit:new nail post is up)

So, stress aside, I had an amazing opportunity to travel to France over a month ago. It was the trip of a lifetime without exaggerating. I had not been to any foreign countries before. I fell in love with the architecture, the sights,and the patisseries. I visited Paris but also got the chance to stay in a small town. I also got to explore Germany and Luxembourg. I have 1200 photos to prove that but rather than bore you I'd thought I would share some of my favorites here. Regular nail-related programming will continue in the next post. 

First is the Eiffel Tower. To me it was very surreal to see the monument right in front of me. It just seemed something out of a dream. And yes, I am a tourist. I definitely have over 100 maybe 200 pictures of la Tour Eiffel. I love how this photo turned out. Yay for my camera not entirely focusing! 



A shot of my new shoes. Not necessarily a great shot, but some great shoes.


The beauty of the cathedrals left me awestruck. Especially the intricate stained glass covering every wall. I particularly liked this pattern. 


Like a typical tourist, I also visited the Arc de Triomphe. The views on top are spectacular but the stairs to get up are painful. 


A view of Champs D'Elysees.


The moon on top of the Eiffel Tower.


The french patisseries were amazing. Walking outside my hotel, I had three easily in sight. Furthermore, I'm in love with macaroons. I need to find a recipe.


Finally, another picture of la Tour Eiffel. Love how the moon looks in this picture.


I hope you enjoyed the pictures.
On To The Next Polish,
Katie
