WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Big news, everyone. I have been asked to allow my photography to appear in a print ad for a travel magazine!!! Now, I know that this isn't like the cover of National Geographic or anything, but I have to start somewhere!

I'm excited. Seriously.

Abroad!

So in May of 2010, "this moi" traveled abroad for the first time in her life (that was a 30 Rock reference for all you fellow fans out there). I traveled with my University's choir so I was sort of forced to visit touristy sites, do touristy things, and worst of all, eat some touristy dishes.

However!!!!!, My friends and I were able to sneak away every once in a while in order to wander down some random alley, lag behind in order to snap a picture of a weathered, blue door, or fake a "I forgot we were all supposed to eat at the American restaurant together!!! What?" Yea.

We began our trip in Paris. Saw the Eiffel Tower. Saw some churches. Went to the Louvre. Blah, blah, blah. The important thing here, is that I ate approximately 23 baguettes all slathered in Nutella, 47 blocks of assorted cheeses, and 52 croissants. I'm also not a sarcastic person. We also visited Munich and Salzburg. Aaaaand I ate another 285491046 calories. Each day.

But seriously, I had some amazing food abroad. Even tho we were in the city for only 3 days, I think I had a great experience and ate some amazing food as well. Can't wait to share it with you.

Paris

There is this thing called a "budget," and all of my college friends and myself were restricted by this thing called a "budget" during our travels. So to all you aged, old, wise, learned foodies out there who have visited every 5 star restaurant in all of Paris, sorry I couldn't live up to your expectations. Budget, people. It's called a budget.

So this is what is typical in Paris. A small place on the corner, filled with baguettes, cheese, croissants, and other goodness.

I think I bought something at every one we passed... so like every 5 minutes.

And here is me putting things in perspective.

I guess you could say that I've got my priorities in order.

Munich and Salzburg still to come!
