(Two Weeks Abroad in Brief)
- Paris is as memorizing as they say it is.
- European men wear purses and somehow it works.
- The metro is always hot and stinky. Perfume is a big seller.
- If you walk 50 miles, the back of your knees hurt.
- We have no idea how bread or chocolate is supposed to taste.
- Museums are designed to put you asleep, especially the famous ones. It’s the weird ones that are fun.
- I only looked at the Mona Lisa through my camera lens.
- A man only has to compliment my smile to win my heart; a French accent helps.
- Street food in Paris is better than half our fancy restaurants.
- There are 4 liters to a gallon, bringing us to $8 a gallon. Ouch.
- Don’t order pork belly in London. It’s a mean trick.
- Roomy roads are an under appreciated luxury.
- French women wear stilettos everywhere.
- English women are normal sizes. They really are my people.
- Versailles is a tall and spacious building…and it is glorious.
- Past royalty are generally all very unattractive.
- Mineral water is body drano.
- The Lourve looks exactly like it does in the Da Vinci Code.
- American tourists are loud and obnoxious…not me though.
- If you don’t order a full Cornish breakfast, the locals will give you dirty looks.
- Buying jewelry abroad just feels fancier.
- It is possible to eat your weight in pastries and still lose 5 pounds…if you walk everywhere. (Cars have ruined us)
- Stone circles are super cool in the day, but uber creepy at night. I scream loud and run suprisngly fast.
- British grass is so green it looks like 70s carpet, but they make it look good.
- They have as many castles in every town as we have Walgreens.
- I still think it’s weird there are actual dead people inside churches, but the caskets are very impressive.
- Taking two weeks off to wander around Paris and the English countryside really is a fairytale, and I rocked it.
