Hi blog world, it's been so long! I'm currently in Paris with my parents. This is after a few days in Split and Dubrovnik, Croatia. Both were amazing. Another thanks to Afshin for joining in the fun! We did notice lots of cats in Croatia. Anyone know what the deal is with that? But the fresh seafood and sights were great. Dubrovnik has the option of walking around the city along it's city wall. The views are incredible. I'll post pictures when I'm back in Italy. Along with more details since I'm failing at that currently. We've been in Paris for two days and for anyone who's been here before, lots of walking! So far we've seen the Arc de Triomphe and the view from the top, Sacre Coure, Notre Dame, Montmarte and all that surrounds it, the Latin Quarter, Pantheon, and the Luxembourg Gardens. I think I need new shoes since I've worn out the ones I'm wearing. Or so it feels. :) But credit is due to Mom and Dad for trekking up the hill to Sacre Coure. Of course, there was a good 15 minute break to stop at a store! Tomorrow we are planning trips to museums. We have to fit in some culture in between croissants, cheese, wine, and waffles with warm dark chocolate drizzled on top. OMG! (oh, and a ridiculously amazing burger) Thankfully things happen late here given it's 8:15 and I still have to shower and get dressed for dinner. But having a great time on "vacation"!
