Man in a Bag


 So when you walk into the Louvre and you see this giant statue. It’s about 35 feet tall and is just an eye catcher. When looking at this giant statue thing it makes me think ‘who did this person tie up to make them stand there.’ Then I started thinking ‘is this guy a killer, did her torture someone, oh my I’m looking at a dead person is stone.’ It totally freaked me out but I couldn’t stop looking at it. It over looks the entire entrance and it just a eye catcher.

Lazy days...

    So my host family has a house my a lake, Lake Como. Yes! It’s the place where George Clooney has a house. So we are driving up this intense, crazy mountain and we come to this little house on top of the mountain. My family and I start taking things from the car up to the house and I walked out onto the balcony and this is what I saw. It was so beautiful. Now, heres the crazy part. This town is called Pigra, which means lazy. So my parents go for a hike and leave my sisters, little brother and I stayed home and where in our pajama’s, When my parents got home they were mad at us because we weren’t dressed. I came up with the idea of doing a play on words. I said “But we are in Pigra, so its ok to be lazy.” They thought it was the most clever thing.

Eating in Paris...

 
  So the view from our Paris hotel. The big adventure with Paris is the fact that neither my mom nor I speak a lick of French, and hardly anyone spoke English. We got stuck in the metro, but that’s for another day. So around the corner from our cute french style hotel there was a cute pastry/cafe place and we ate there a lot, once again not very adventurous.
    We walk into the place and they were so nice trying to help us with everything we needed and or course wanted.

About Me


    I want to let you guys know a little bit about me. I am 18 years old and live in California. I live on the coast and as you can see I’m a typical Cali girl. I went on a 6 month exchange in Milan, Italy and had the time of my life. In Italy i lived in a small town i bit outside of Milan, but we always just said Milan if anyone asked. Along with living in Italy, my family liked to travel so we travelled a lot. Also when I was coming home my mom and I travelled as a graduation present. I’ve been into Switzerland, France, London and around northern Italy. This blog is basically going to be all of my tales with some awesome pictures.
