God, you’re probably tired of hearing about Paris. As travelers, we were getting tired of Paris ourselves. But there was still plenty to do in this city. Ezeibe was still taking it easy for most of the day. The Good Surprises: – Museum du jour was Rodin. I was pleasantly surprised at this small museum. [...]

Our bread today was poor quality. We woke up too late and all the local shops and bakeries had closed down. We had to settle for supermarket baguettes, which was kind of hard and crunchy like Shaw’s brand baguettes. Not fresh, warm, and soft. Except a Shaw’s brand baguette in France is still 10x tastier [...]

Today was my selfish day. Actually, every day of this trip was a selfish day, since this was my idea and all, but let’s pretend there were two other people with me for a second. Finally, I got to check off my list of things I didn’t experience the first time I was in Paris. [...]

Bonne Fetes! This day could not have been more awesomely lame, and I mean that in the best possible way, to me. For Alan and Ezeibe…not so much. I should add that we got back to our apartment from the Eiffel Tower the night before (see Day 7) exactly at the stroke of midnight Christmas [...]

“Way to forget about how you and Ezeibe still went to dinner that night” – Alan in response to my Day 4 post This is how he decided to comment on my blog. His snark will be forever immortalized on my blog like the puke stain that’s forever on my bedroom carpet because my dad [...]

You can’t do Paris without spending a few hours in the Louvre and going to the Eiffel Tower. Heck, I’ve already been, knew it was going to be crowded and unreasonably expensive, and I still did it anyways because it’s fuckin’ Paris. How can I go home and say I didn’t see either of those [...]

I wish he was my friend.

So we’re off to France! Halfway through writing this post, I sensed a recurring theme of the day: my inability to be a functional human being when traveling. Most of my close friends and family have come to this conclusion well before I started this trip, but now, in chronological order, I document the evidence [...]

We left our amazing Barcelona apartment and the city itself today. I’ll forever long for a sunroom and Top Chef kitchen like our rental when I get my own place. Today’s adventure took us to Montserrat, a monastary complex high on top of a mountain. It’s about an hour outside of Barcelona. After that, we [...]

My New Year’s resolution for 2009: 1) Travel more. This Europe trip is just the beginning. I bought an extra week of vacation, I’m regrettably back at home, which means I’m ready to get out and see the world. I want to be in all seven continents before I die (or, when I’m feeling more [...]

Our last full day in Barcelona got off to a late start from exhaustion. The nice thing with vacation is that this is totally okay. The bad thing was we essentially wasted our Arsticket from the day before. Price of Admission at two museums < Price of Arsticket. We only had time for one museum [...]

Miraculously, the three of us are back in the States safe and sound. As I decompress, check back here often for updates. I got plenty of stories left to tell. Happy New Year!
