After I graduated high school in 2011, my family and I traveled around France and Spain for two weeks. For the second half of our European adventure, we stayed in a timeshare in Málaga, Spain that was right off of the beach. The view from the condo was incredible with both views of the ocean to the left and the distant mountains to our right.
The program I studied abroad with last fall included two 10 day breaks during the semester and for the first of these breaks my mom flew all the way over from the States to travel with me to Berlin and Brussels. While the history of Berlin is fascinating and the city is a weird combination of old and incredibly modern, it was really the quaint little city of Brussels that really captured my heart on that trip. We were only in the city for about 2.5 days total and we made the most of our stay by exploring the streets of Brussels, sharing whipped cream covered waffles and talking to the locals.
Because I took so many pictures this weekend, I’ve decided to split my stay in Paris into two blog posts!
On Saturday morning I woke up to my alarm at 6:15am and was out the door thirty miniutes later. My train wasn’t actually scheduled to leave until 8:03am but I’ve heard that the St. Pancras station gets pretty hectic, especially the international part, so I decided it was better to be safe than sorry so I got there early.
