Not my strongest introduction, but there won't be a lot of writing in this post, so don't worry. I was surprised by how much 80s music I heard in nearly every stop; I guess Europeans are preserving the "Golden Age" of music...or they just like the catchy songs...I noticed also that it's funny how most Europeans that we interacted with thought that all Americans go crazy at the beach on Spring Break. I wonder where they got that idea??? Anyway, I can't explain everything about my trip, you'd leave your computer after my first story because there's so much. But I hope you enjoy my pictures (and some snarky commentary) of my stops along our mini-backpacking trip through a tiny slice Europe...
Nice, France - A taste of the beach for spring break
Port of Nice...Yup we're right on the water :)
Nice, it's Nice!
Coast along the Bay of Angels
Two turtle doves...
Omelette ratatouille...with free bread and salad!
Paris, France - An American living on the Left Bank of Paris...how original :)
You're in Rome at The Pantheon? I thought you said you were in...
Oh, right there's the Eiffel Tower.
Wait?! Where'd it go????
Oh there it is, phew :)
Batman's Lamborghini on Champs-Elysee...
Florence's locks got nothing on this bridge!
I took a quick stop over the blue bridge from Beaver Falls to East-vale real quick...
Just kidding, still in Paris :)
You know I got my crepe on...
My favorite church and gothic architecture in one shot...Notre Dame
Hey there I am! Saint Chapelle, gorgeous stained glass. Loved it...
Best street performer yet - freestyle soccer player by Sacre Coeur
Just some random burned sugar...or something

Gold statue is doing his best Soldja boy - "YOOUUUU"
If you want to start a revolution, make an awesome Opera...

Number 7 - Skinniest house in the world, for real, no joking here :)
Forgive me for my cliche tourism, I know not what I do
I didn't get a picture of the Van Gogh Museum, but that was incredible in Amsterdam as well. Probably my favorite, most user friendly museum so far...
Yeah, so there's my Spring Break in a a few pictures. I obviously took more pictures than this, but these were some of the unique ones I thought you guys would enjoy. I think they're swell if nothing else...I have plenty of stories; if you're curious for a good one, I'll see what I can do. I was pretty wiped out after running around for 10 days, so it's nice to be back and rest comfortably in Rome. We have about one month to go, and it's going to be a great one. March Madness is starting, there's a new Pope - Francesco, and the weather's starting to warm up... Andiamo!
