Again, I know that I'm not great at posting regularly...but here's another!
I had just finished my spring break 2010, and I was lucky enough to visit France and Sweden. I started my travels on friday the 19th, and flew from Rome to Paris where I met my friend that I work with all summer-Charlie. We made it to some of the many amazing parts of Paris, including the Eiffel Tower (which kind of looks like a big oil rig), and the Louvre. After our time in Paris, we went back to his homestay mom's house in Angers. Grandma, as I called her, was a pistol of an 80 year old woman. We got to walk around Angers and see the sites until I left on Tuesday for Uppsala Sweden. Another camp friend, Lauren, is completing her graduate school studies here, so I got to come see what Uppsala had to offer. I was really impressed when I got there with the amount of people that bike everywhere!! We rode bikes all over Uppsala, and we were lucky enough to take a day trip to Stockholm. The thing that impressed me the most about spring break 2010 was not only the scenery, but the Vasa Museum (Vasamuseet) in Stockholm. The Vasa was a ship that in 1628 sailed 1000 meters, and then toppled over and sank. The cool part was that they brought the ship up and it is standing tall in the museum, perfectly preserved.
Back to reality! (not really, I'm going back to Rome)
