Paris
In April, my friend Eva and I went to Paris, then Venice and Athens. This is the view from the street our hostel was on. It was in Monmartre, which is really one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in Paris. Lots of hills and stairs, which wasn't fun with our suitcases!
C'est beau, non?!
Eva and I were going to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower but I freaked out when the elevator started moving so I got off at the 2nd floor. Eva went all the way to the top, though!
I always end up cutting off half of my face when we try taking pictures of ourselves.
The square outside the Louvre.
Les Pyramides
I love this painting! It reminds me of Romeo and Juliet.
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing, Roman cavalry choirs are singin.... : )
For some reason we thought this was the Arc de Triomphe at first, but we figured out it was down the road a ways ; )
The
real Arc de Triomphe : )
Le Sacre Coeur!
The view from the Sacre Coeur.
The Moulin Rouge
The Musee D'Orsay
One of my favorite paintings in the museum.
Degas' Petite Danseuse de 14 ans
The mirror creates a cool effect here. This was in the Musee D'Orsay too.
L'Opera Garnier, where the Phantom of the Opera takes place!
Duuuh, duh duh duh duh duh!
Venice
Rialto bridge
My friend Eva. We were on the water buses that take everyone where they need to be. There are no cars on the island.
This picture is funny because I asked this Italian boy to take it; his friends were with him, and I think he was embarrassed so he stayed right where he was.
The gondolas looked amazing, but I think it was about 50 or 70 euros a ride.
Dad, I took this for you : ) I guess Italians like Jackson Browne! haha
Venice at night is just gorgeous.
To get to Athens we had to take a ferry, and this was it. Ikarus Palace.
We had to camp out here for the whole 35 hours because our tickets were for the deck. When it got really cold during the night we snuck inside and slept on these airport chairs though ; ).
Athens
A mini-Acropolis thing in this park you go through to get to the Acropolis.
Theatre of Dionysos
The Acropolis
Eva and me at the top of the Acropolis
This mineral lake we went to on our last day in Athens. It was gorgeous there.
Kinda blurry, but there we are! This is from the weekend of the 13th, when I went to Geneva, Switzerland to stay with Georgia and her mom and Julia. It was so much fun!
The view from our hotel room, swisotel metropole.
Swans everywhere!
Lake Geneva, looking out onto the street where our hotel was.
The fountain in the middle of the lake.
The view from our boat ride to Yvoire, a little French town on the lake.
The view from Yvoire.
A castle on the lake in Yvoire.
The U.N. building.
This is my friend Anna. We were excited to finally be here because we had to take two buses and the metro. haha
This really is one of my favorite places in the world.
The city inside the castle walls.
The cloisters in the abbey
I love this picture because the light makes it look like a painting
Le Saint Michel
Sigh....
The reason I don't have any pictures of myself here is because Anna took them all! When she gets her picture up online I'll add some : )
The beach in Cannes.
The main movie theater with the red carpet.
My friends and I : )
