This movie was stupid. Did anyone actually like it?

 I watched this on the ride over to Paris and its not that its a bad movie. It’s just the way its cut. I thought the individual stories were kinda cute… just the way the movie was put together kinda stunk…

Its about a 9 hr drive from Monaco to Paris. =)

Monaco was pretty nice. The beach is soo pretty. Gorgeous torquoise and blue waters. So clear. =)

Haven’t seen much of Paris yet. But I have 5 days to explore before is back to US.

Today’s forecast… partly cloudy with a good chance or rain… haha. Ok. So yeah, it rained today. Thank God it was while we were indoors.
Last night in Italy, after Pisa tomorrow, I’ll be heading over to Monaco.
One more week of vacation left. Lots to tell.
Today we went to the Uffizi gallery and the day before to Accademia. I’ve seen so much art in the last two weeks. Its been great! =) Seen a lot of pieces that I’ve studied before and I’m just shocked at how big they turned out to be. Great trip. LOL. So, you’re not supposed to take pics in the galleries. So far, I think my dad’s taken pics at all but one or two. haha. Silly.
Oh! Bonus… when I was at Accademia, they had a Robert Mapplethorpe exhibit there! I’ve been wanting to see some of his work. =)
So today, we were waiting for the bus.. half hour past and it never came. Turns out, the bus drivers were on strike… yaayy.. =/ so we had to drive there.. parking is kinda a bitch here. haha. its all good. made it there and back in one piece.
one more week to go…. =)

Wow I have done so much walking the last week. Seen so many things. Been/driven through six countries. Yup. But its been great. Its been fun. Seen a lot of things. We’ve stayed in London, Amsterdam, Venice, and Rome so far. OMG. so the drive from holland to italy… like 15 hrs! That’s not the only thing… it started raining… and it was dark.. PLUS there was lightning and thunder… and because of that, we lost GPS signal. so its 1 am. in the middle of a country that doesn’t speak english. lost. its raining. can’t get much worse right? well, on top of that, the small main street in the little town we were staying at, there are a bunch of hookers. lol. and the hotel had switched us to another hotel that was 6 km down the road. but we made it. just been small little adventures along the way. more later though. ciao! =) i miss knowing what i’m eating and where i’m going and what people are saying. haha. everyone stares at us here.

Def. won’t be able to catch up on Tumblr updates. Hahaha =)

ok.. like one year… lol but I finally got a much needed pedicure. =) Went w/ the girls today. Awesome. Haha. Tickled so bad when he was scrubbing my feets. Hah.

Good day. Except that I totally forgot I wanted to go eat at Los Jarritos. LOL. Its ok. It’ll still be here when I get back. I had a bomb dinner though. We did a pot luck and it turned out great. Those asian kabobs are bomb.

WOw. I’m leaving in 3 hrs!
