The Adventure

It's been a while folks. I don't have too much time right now since I'm at a hostel and internet is limited so I'll give you a brief overview of the past weeks and the weeks to come.

Last thursday my photography teacher had an exposition of all the students work at his studio. We put our best photos (around 7 photos) on a big black backing and he hung them up around the studio. There was also a bunch of goodies such as pie, wine, bread, cheese, etc. I'll eventually get some of my developed pictures onto the web.

And then on friday night was the final exhibition for the Wells program. It was in the studio at the Wells office and had all art from the 25ish students in the program ranging from painting (here is mine "Abbe de Saint-Non" by Fragonard), photography, drawing, print-making, bookbinding, dance, and music. It was a a really fun time and very nice of the program to put on. Of course there was tons of food and tons of wine. And it looked like all the students appreciated the event. Was pretty much the last time we saw everyone together. Sad face

My travel buddy Joy (who was studying in Oxford, England this last semester) arrived on Saturday. A bunch of her friends from school also came to Paris this weekend. I tagged along with them and did my best to show them around Paris. Went to the Eiffel Tour light show of course. Didn't make it to the top of the Eiffel Tour though. That'll be for some other time. Aunt Joyce, we also made it to the Arc de Triumph and walked down the Champs-Elysees to the super huge ferris wheel by the Louvre. The Christmas lights were amazing. And the sidewalk was lined with Christmas markets, but we were too late and they were all closed. Went to the Louvre and Sacre Coeur on Sunday. I really enjoyed meeting Joys friends. They are a funny bunch. They left at 5am this morning (tuesday).




The Adventure

Joy and I leave tomorrow night (wednesday) to Berlin. We are taking an all nighter bus. A good 14 hrs I think it is. We arrive in Berlin on thursday morning, meet up with a friend of mine who goes to school in Switzerland, spend the night in a hostel, leave friday night taking an overnight train to an amazing castle (Neuschwanstein) in the south of Germany, spend the whole day there, leave Saturday night and take an all night train to Interlaken, spend the night Sunday and tour the mountains monday morning and head back to Paris on an overnight Bus for me (Joy has to go back to Oxford) That is a super quick overview of the trip. I'm sure I'll explain more later. My computer is about to die!
