From Paris

Getting into the swing of things.

Here are just three pictures from my trip around the city this weekend. The blogger is acting funny and wont let me put any more up. I just wanted you all to get a chance to see a taste of the city I now call home.


This is just a random wall that is built into the mountain. I think it will be a goal of mine to find out exactly what it is.

One of the many churches in the city. You can see behind it on the right the Cathedral.

This is the Abbey St. Ampere. So beautiful.

Ok well I hope that you are all well. But I guess I am wondering who is reading this. I know that members of my family are but I have not heard from any of the Girl Scouts since I left Lubbock. Oh well i am sure they are quite busy doing exciting things.

Have a wonderful week.

My first days in France

well my travels have hit their skids and I am here in France. It was quite difficult getting the apartment squared away. When I first moved in the heat did not work nor the toilet or the cold water. Talk about overwhelming when you do not know the language at all. But it is all coming together and in a few hours classes will begin for the semester.

I am certain that once classes begin and I am able to meet more people I will be more comfortable here. It is still very hard to believe that I am in France. There are some differences that are constant reminders that i am not in the states any more.

My goal is to put some pictures of my apartment and the area up in the next few days..

Be Well

Before I left Lubbock the Troop went to the Texas Tech International Cultural Center to learn more about France and why students study abroad. These are a few pictures of our trip.


I think that the above may be our last group shot. I am uncertain if a parent was able to get a picture at the Christmas party

We have a bit of a tradition that whenever we are taking pictures we take a cute one and then a silly one..Always a Blast :)

You cannot tell very well but they are all reaching for the French flag above them.

They are some silly girls but what can i say they have a silly leader :)

This is by far my most favorite..The ICC has a map built into the ground and right here all the girls have their fingers in France.

I really do miss them. I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday :)

First leg of the trip

Hello World,

It is so strange to no longer be in Lubbock. But in less than three weeks I will leave for France. That is so exciting. It was hard leaving everyone in Lubbock and the scrapbook that you girls made me has quickly become one of my most prized possessions. I am staying with my cousin Kevin and tomorrow i will finish the drive to Florida. 800 miles in one day by yourself is hard. So i like that i can take a bit of a break here.

On the France front it looks like i know where i will be living. it is called the Le Saggittare. I hope i spelled that right. When i get there i will be sure to post pictures of my new apartment. The only problem that i have found so far is that i will only be able to live there from January until June. So I will have to find somewhere else to live in July and August. And I may even end up somewhere new in September. Jeeze that is a ton of moving for me.

Ok well I hope that you are all having a wonderful time. Thank you again for the amazing scrapbook.

Only a week left

Well it is official now. I will be leaving for France on January 3, 2007. This blog will be a place for people to not only see what I am doing in my travels but also to leave notes letting me know what is happening. I am learning about this blog process and will try to improve it as we go.

We had our birthday party last month and these are some of the pictures from it.
