The Get Away

Here are pictures from the great European vacation! First up, Poland.

Tychy, a city an hour from Krakow.

Wroclaw, a beautiful city that I fell in love with.

Krakow, I think you've all heard of it?

And here is Paris!

Gargoyle at Notre Dame.

Shakespeare and Co. book shop. I could spend hours here.

My trip was so much fun and my fiancee took so many photos. These were just some of the most interesting. Europe is so beautiful and fascinating to me because it's so old and there is evidence of that everywhere on the streets. The U.S. doesn't have that same kind of history, which makes me jealous!

As much fun as I had, I was exhausted by the end, and I was happy to come home. Also, I was annoyed that I didn't learn the languages, because I felt bad constantly asking people if they spoke English. I felt like such an annoying American!

Back in the saddle again

Lately, my blog has been completely silent. That's because I was out of the country for two weeks vacationing in Europe!

As a present for graduation my boyfriend and I went to Paris for a week and then Poland (where he still has family) for a week. And I have to say, the parts of Poland we visited were so beautiful they easily rivalled Paris. Trust me, I was just as surprised!

Thanks to slightly dreary weather and LOTS of walking, my outfits weren't particularly inspired while there. But I did shop!

For the most part I looked like this. Layering up to ward off the Parisian chill.



The next two photos were taken in Poland.




Also, I got some new bling (I'm so lame) while in Paris. Notice the sparkly engagement ring below!
My boyfriend of five years proposed. Ignore my horrible, horrible face. The real stars are my fiancee and the ring he picked out.

I plan to post pictures from Paris and Poland that do not include my sad lack of fashion, plus photos of the wonderful things I bought!
