Good thing I'm leaving tomorrow, I think I might of gained 5 pound just from today alone.=) Waffles, fries, mussels, chocolate, belgium beer....hehe, I do love a place that is all about good food. I'm heading down to Paris tomorrow afternoon and will stay there until I head out for South Africa...so so excited! I ended up meeting a really cool guy named Alec and his mom in Florence. We ended up trav...

It was sad to say goodbye to my friend Niki, we ...
