We have arrived in Milan (pronounced mi-lawn) and are loving every single second. We have refused the easy subway to walk miles on the streets. Our hostel/hotel is a major upgrade from Villa Bellagio. We have a lobby, (with a bar) and have a very friendly staff who seem to be willing to help whenever…

We were exhausted when we first got to our hotel/hostel in Milan. We took the small elevator up to our room and after getting situated, decided to go to the lobby to get the wifi. We pushed -1. We noticed that the elevator was descending very quickly. Cammie and I both fear elevators. I got…

Round two: My life sucks once again. What’s worse than the apocalypse? Armageddon. Cammie and I were on our way from Paris to Milan. This morning, I asked Cammie to pack my make up bag in her big suitcase since I have zero room in my 80-pound bag. I also wanted her to carry it…

We grabbed our pastries and set off for the Marais. This is what used to be the Jewish Quarter of Paris. If I could live anywhere it would be in the Marais. Everyone is fashionable and the streets are lined with fabulous boutiques. When you go here, you have to get a falafel. We waited…

Versailles. So amazing. The hall of mirrors, the fountains, and gardens are all so incredible. What was not incredible was by the time we were going to take a tour of the outside it started pouring. We decided to take a tram tour thinking it was covered and we would not get wet. As soon…

Hangovers became standard, however I learned that a croissant or cheesy sandwich helps me get through my Everest. This day was our big museum day. We stopped at the Louvre, Musee d’orsay, and the Arc di triomphe. The jet lag and sadness about not having my iphone hit me in waves…while we were on top…

I woke up so hungover and attempted to cure my illness with a crepe. But not just any crepe: a nutella, banana, and almond crepe. Oh my god it was pure heaven. We visited Saint Chapelle (literally breathtaking), Notre Dame, and the Eiffel Tower. I had such good photos, some very worthy of a prof…

Paris is so wonderful because our days revolved around eating and drinking. We arrived at Villa Bellagio knowing that it was not going to be the Ritz. The lobby was in a bar occupied by a very unfriendly female staff. We realized that there was no “lift” and instead a winding staircase to take us…

I hate everything. Sorry if there are typos but I am typing on my iPad because I do not have converter for my computer.the apocalypse has occurred. No, I did not lose my passport myiphone has been stolen in front of my very eyes. No I did not have my purse open or was distracted…

I have been the worst by not updating this blog. We have not had any wifi in our room and to charge my computer I need to buy a different converter. I will be writing a big fat post soon. Today we are going to Paris and I cannot contain my excitement. Au Revoir.
