Remember That Time When Becca Went To Oxford?

Well, that time has come.

Fri, 10 Aug 2012 04:26:54 -0400

Time to leave Oxford. It was such an amazing 6 weeks, and definitely the best summer of my life. I feel so grateful that I got a chance to do this and I will hold onto the memories that I have made here from the rest of my life.

I’ll still throw on a bunch of my pictures from the trip (sorry I got kinda lazy with it…)

GOODBYE Y’ALL!!

Twas a great long weekend! Dublin is…well an interesting city. FULL OF PUBS and drunk men (but, let’s be honest, we kinda knew that already). But, the best part of the trip was getting to go into the country and see the Cliffs of Mohr. And, even though we got stuck on top of them in a tremendous rain storm, it was still an amazing sight to see.

PICTURES TO COME!

(oh, and also the rest of my Paris pictures…)

These are my pictures from La Basilique du Sacre Coeur. No lie...

These are my pictures from La Basilique du Sacre Coeur. No lie this was about a five minute walk from our hostel. it was also the first thing we saw in paris. At night, you can go out there and sit on the steps and see the entire city lit up. It was so amazing!

The most AMAZING weekend!

Oh. My. Lord.

Paris was beyond words. Never have I seen a city that is so historically beautiful, yet extremely modern at the same time. I got to see so many things that I never imagined that I was going to get to see (i.e The Louve, Notre Dame, Sacré Couer, The Eiffel Tower, The Arc de Triomphe, etc). Also, I got to see Monet’s waterlillies paintings, which almost made me cry (lame, I know).

The Eiffel Tower at nighttime….I can’t can even attempt to describe it. It’s the most powerful thing I have ever seen.

Also, just a little fun added surprise, we saw madonna…yes, MADONNA. We happened to be walking by a hotel with loads of paparazzi outside of it…turns out she had done a concert there the night before, and was just leaving…

(yep…that’s her)

Overall, I really need to learn some French…because I’m going back as many times as I possibly can…

Paris, je t’aime

*PICTURES TO COME*

OFF TO PARIS!

Think of it as a really hard version of canoeing…where you stand instead of sit and you use a big, long, metal pole instead of an oar….such a workout for your arms! Was totally worth it though….and who knows? Maybe now I’ll even be a little tan! #palegirlproblems

Stonehenge….there are some stones…there are some...

the henge...

such a mom picture...

when all else fails, do jumping pictures

some up close stone action...

such a lovely henge.

Stonehenge….there are some stones…there are some hedges…

In all seriousness though, Stonehenge was actually a lot cooler than I thought it was going to be. It really was a mind-blowing thing to see up close.

booked my flight to Ireland!!

These are some pictures from my second trip to London on Saturday! I got to go to all these amazing places that we didn’t get to last time, like the Globe Theater, Buckingham Palace, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Blackfriars Bridge, and Trafalgar Square. Also, we went to the Tate British Museum, where two of my favorite paintings were hanging in an exhibit (I didn’t even know that they were there!) It was a great day overall :)

yep…

YESTERDAY I WENT TO HOGWARTS!!…..well, at least some parts of Hogwarts…(i.e The Great Hall and the main staircase). I nerd-ed out a tad bit, but let’s be honest….you would have probably done it too…..

Well, Bill Clinton is supposedly wandering around the streets of Oxford tonight...

Fun and Stupid British Food Fact #2

Thu, 12 Jul 2012 08:08:32 -0400

Panini’s here are rather different than they are back home. In Jolly Old England, they tend to be more like heated up flatbread subs with melted cheese, rather than on thicker ciabatta bread like we all are used to. Doesn’t necessarily make them taste any better or worse, but just like I’m eating a healthier option because my bread is less…..well, puffy and bread-like…

still….they are very VERY tasty :)

Booked my train to PARIS!!!
