The London Eye

One of my favorite attractions in England was the London Eye. Kristin, Steve, Steph, and I went at the perfect time, which was sunset. You could see Parliament, Big Ben, and the London Bridge. Everything was so pretty from above. The ride lasted about 20 minutes but it went by quickly. Overall I had an amazing time on this trip.

"I'm so Jealous"

"I'm so Jealous of you." I have heard this phrase numerous times over the past week or so, whether it was when I bumped into a distant relative at the grocery store or a classmate was browsing through my facebook pictures. So may people are amazed it this opportunity that I have been given to travel to two of the greatest cities in the world. As I took a break from all of the homework I've akready been assigned this semester, I looked through my pictures again and this time really marveled at all of the places we were able to see. Some of my favorites were scenes from Harry Potter at Oxford University, the Eiffel Tower at night, Parliament, and Abbey Road. After expressing her jelousy about this amazing trip, my grandmother gave me the advice to keep traveling while I'm young, and without a career, kids, or a mortgage. After listening to her and glancing through my pictures, I am motivated to travel whenever and wherever I can! It has been such an amazing experience to not only see sights of a lifetime but also to have been able to meet incredible friends of a lifetime as well.

Au Revoir!

Once in a Life Time Experience

London and Paris Trip was definitely a trip to remember. I met people that I will probably be friends with throughout the duration of my college career and beyond. I also had th eopportunity to become closer to the friends I came with. Being able to see all the sights that most people only dream of was more than I could ever ask for. The Eiffel Tower, Arc De Triomphe, Palace of Versailles, London Eye, Big Ben, and more. My favorite part of the trip was Cirque de Soleil in London. That show was the best show I have ever seen in my life! LOL Anyone who went to see it im sure if it wasn't the best it was definitely close to it. The acts and talents showcased were phenomenal. Most of them I had no clue the human body was capable of doing such things lol. But I really enjoyed my time there for the most part. I want to end with saying that I miss you Carol and when you read this know that you are in our hearts and our prayers. Get better soon !!

Eiffel Tower

The Eiffel Tower is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the whole world. As a group we saw it a few times on various tours and site visits during the day. It was an amazing landmark during the day and when a small group of us visited it at night, it was even more impressive. Starting at 6pm every night the tower lights up for about five minutes, which makes it quite "sparkly, sparkly." We were able to witness this event several times including once when we were at the top of the tower. The view from the top of the this iron beast was unbelievable. All the buildings in Paris are no taller than six stories, so we were able to gaze at the entire city from the top. The Eiffel Tower is a must-see attraction when traveling in Paris.

The Imperial War Museum was by far my favorite museum in London. One of the best collections of historic military artifacts was in this building. From tanks, to planes to missiles and submarines; one could see in person what helped to win both world wars. The museum also featured a special James Bond exhibit featuring both original and replica memorabilia and gadgets from the 007 series.

Out of all the sites I visited, the Opera house in Paris was one that surprised me the most. I did not anticipate it being so ornate. Prior to my visit, I thought “what’s the big attraction to an Opera house”? Once inside however, I was amazed at the architecture and detail which in my opinion surpassed that of Versailles. Large marble staircases, columns and floors lined the interior of the building as well as countless chandeliers. The exterior was comprised of columns and gold leaf sculptures.
