Musée du Louvre
The Musée du Louvre is one of the world's largest museums, the most visited museum in the world, and a historic monument. It is a central landmark of Paris, France. Nearly 35,000 objects from prehistory to the 19th century are exhibited over an area of 652,300 square feet.





Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower was Breathtaking! The first day we went and saw it at night and saw the light show. The third day we went up the Eiffel Tower nearly to the very top! We accidently bought the wrong ticket. So, instead of taking the elevator we had to take the stairs ALL the way up. Such a great and tiring experience! I also added some videos :)









PARIS - Notre Dame
The Notre Dame Cathedral is the cathedral of the Catholic archdiocese of Paris: that is, it is the church that contains the official chair of the Archbishop of Paris. The cathedral took over 200 years to build and was finished in 1345. It was so beautiful to see! the inside was breathtaking. Notre Dame de Paris is widely considered one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture in the world.

Typical Monday....
Hallo! Wanted to give you guys a taste of my day to day life here in Germany. If I have class I usually do that and walk around town and grab some lunch. If I don't have class then I usually sleep in a little and go the the university to do some homework, meet up with friends for lunch, and become more familiar with the city.
When I woke up Monday morning this is what my house/street looked like! So Beautiful! I also included a picture of Ruth (my host sis) helping me with my German homework. She is so great. We have become quite close and I love spending time with the family!




Then I met up with some friends...walked around town and ended up grabbing a Döner for lunch. It's a Turkish dish. SO GOOD. It's kind of like a salad and a sandwich combined. So delicious and cheap!

Also, saw this advertisement for Princess and the Frog...so weird to see it all in German.

I'm really enjoying life here. Everyday I learn something new. More posts to come! With Love.....

oh Germany...
Haven't posted anything in a few days...just been going to class daily and sleeping whenever I can. I'm still pretty tired all the time. I guess I haven't adjusted to the time change. Good news though! Booked a couple of trips for the month of February. I also have a trip to Berlin and to Prague, which are included in the program.
So here's my February:
France: Jan 29th-Feb 1st
Berlin/Prague: Feb 6th-Feb 11th
Ireland: Feb 28th-March 1st
So this next month should be very busy with school and traveling. So, I will definitely have a lot more pictures! With Love....

Cologne- Cathedral
This Cathedral took my breath away! It is the 5th widest in the world and the 2nd tallest in the world and was built over a 600 year span dating back to the year 1000. So cool! I had so many great pictures of it so it was hard to choose just 5. The cathedral is actually so large that in most of my photos I had to get on the ground in a attempt to capture the entire thing...but even then i couldnt. it was just too large from every side and angle! We also took a roof top tour of the cathedral which was great because we were able to see the city lights. Magnificent!
