Picasa Awesomeness

As promised, I have posted photos from my entire two-month trip. I took over 1,000 photos, so I didn't post nearly all of them, but I've put up a few from each place that I thought were moderately representative. They are on my Picasa Web Album , which can be accessed all the time from the link on the side of the blog page. Each city is it's own album, listed with the name "GET", which, because I know you'll ask, stands for "Great European Tour". Let me know if you want to see more photos from a specific location, as I've got a bunch. So, just enjoy vicariously traveling Europe! :)

When internet is limited, one takes advantage of opportunities to blog

I really don't have much to say. I just thought I'd let you know that I'm all good and stuff.
We've been going non-stop all week. Museums, sightseeing, boat trips down the Seine. It's a lot of hard work! :)
There's also been meetings or excursions every morning, so it was nice to be able to sleep in this morning. I'm in the office with my laptop doing this weekend's downloading, as I won't have internet access again until Monday. I'll survive, I guess, but it's a bit of a pain to not have the web at home. This also means that, due to time differences and opening hours, it might be best to contact me on my phone. Or comment on my blog! Or send me an email! But if you want to skype me, we'll have to set up a time beforehand, so I'll know to bring my laptop and mic.
I haven't put the pictures on my camera on my computer yet, so once I do that, I'll add some photos from my trip to Picassa Online.
Talk to you later!

Cell phone

Hey, y'all. Orientation week in Paris is going great! I've got a cell phone. So, if anyone would like to call me, is can be done at...
[stops and thinks for a change]
...a phone number that I can email you. Just let me know if you want it. I can also recieve texts for free and send them for 25 Euro cents. No reason to be out of touch!

Chez moi, autre fois

Sorta.

I got to Paris Wednesday afternoon. I'm in a hostel for four nights, until the program starts on Sunday. It's a little bit strange to be here, mostly because of what I'm doing, or, more specifically, what I'm not doing. I'm not being a tourist. Well, not very much. I went on the free tour yesterday, in an effort to acquaint myself with the city a little. Tonight the Louvre is free for students under 26. Tomorrow, I may go to Lisieux for a day trip. But I'm not going to pay to go to museums that are covered by my program. So I'm chilling. I'll see if I can get some photos up on Picassa Web Albums later today. I'll post here when I do.

Love ya!
