Thanks to the awesome French holiday schedule, we were able to take our first week-long trip this past week! I think one of the parents at school this morning put it best, "How lucky are we that we can just travel to these countries as if it's another state?" And how right she is--kids went to Monaco, Corsica, and Morocco to name a few. I'm feeling very blessed that we have this wonderful opportunity to visit so many places. Nick and I flew into Rome, headed to the Amalfi Coast, then to the Cinque Terre, and finally to Lake Como before taking the train back to Paris. It was a busy 8 days, but so much fun!! I few things I realized on this trip:
 |
Mine's the bigger one, but
I'm still pretty proud of myself! |
~Gelato really is the best ice cream anywhere. period.
~the French just really don't seem to care about checking
train tickets on high speed trains
~Double (and triple) check what train stations all your trains
leave from more than an hour before your train...
~it really is possible to pack everything in a backpack for 8 days!
