The Rain in Spain Falls Mainly in the Plain

Francia!

Ok, so I went to France...cool, right?! I went to visit Medgeface. For a little background...I took a bus 6 hours to Madrid, a metro and taxi to the airport, a plane to Paris, buses around the city, and a train to Nantes...in other words, I was travelling about 24 hours, to France! On the way back I had 4 hours to kill in the middle of the night, alone, in this sketchy part of town where I had to catch a bus. Long story short I saw someone getting beat up on the street and decided to hide away in a hotel lobby for 4 hours, from 1am to 5am! I just hoped and prayed that I wouldn't get kicked out onto the streets! No one questioned my sitting in the lobby of this 5 star hotel, and I made it back to Granada safe and sound! But...that's the only bad part of the entire trip! I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Megs and was awed by the Eiffel Tower! My trip in a nutshell follows, in the opposite order of occurance of course!!!
This is actually me sitting in the train the Saturday night I left to get back to Paris! Bubye Megan!

Before leaving Paris Saturday night I had to get one last look at the glowing beauty!

Why not eat Moroccan food in Nantes?! Katie and Amanda (girls from Meg's program), Megs and I stuffed ourselves with delicious couscous!

So good to be with my first Luther love!

The wonderful green pastry is specific to Nantes! It was pistacchio!!! mmmm....

Johnny Depp?!?? Not quite!

Just so you know, Megs and I are left-handed...this is how we prefer to take pictures!

We're in a beautiful park in Nantes!!!

Back to saying goodbye...Miss you already Medgen!

Of course it rained the first day I was there, but it didn't stop us from enjoying ourselves!!!

This is the group we went out with Friday night...front: Meg, me, Amanda-Back: Paul, Kojo, Nick

I still can't believe I ate grilled sardines and actually enjoyed them!!! I have really grown up over here!!! haha! But they had their heads on and everything....it was scary, but tasty!

Meg and I at the Nantes Castle!!! So cool! It still had a partial mote!

Mmmm...coffee with milk!!!

Yeah, I really was that excited to be there!

So nice that I met up with Tamarra on the bus to Madrid...it would have been much more lonely seeing the Eiffel Tower by myself!

Can you see it?!

Hunchback anyone?! Notre Dame was huge, and incredible!

Pretty...

I don't think I can top the last comment (good work kev in all your drunken glory), but I just wanted to say that it was wonderful to have you here. Nantes misses you :-( Good luck with your final week in Europe! I love you lots and lots.
