Glasgow, UK

Just got back from Scotland and I loved it. I pretty much love the UK in general. I learned what Haggis is. And it's not a 3 legged animal even though I actually believed it was (I'm so gullible...) I even asked how it ran only having 3 legs. What it is is "bits and bobs" thrown together and cooked inside of a sheep's stomach..nee…

So I'm in Paris for fall semester and will be missing all of you terribly. This will pretty much document my semester abroad and feel free to leave me lots of messages to keep me updated on all of you. I'm living in an apartment near the Eiffel Tower with an older couple who is hosting another girl besides me. I'll be home just in time for Christmas and cannot wait to see all of you then :-)

With the 9 day metro strike that oh so nicely started before my family arrived and ended the day before they left, I thought making the picture for this entry a Metropolitain sign was fitting.…

This weekend was a whirlwind. Thursday I went to the Luxembourg gardens (a picturesque fall day), St Sulpice (made more known by the Da Vinci Code), the Pantheon which I'm not sure what it is …

So let's begin with Halloween. The French really don't celebrate it, and being really far from home, you tend to grasp on to anything that reminds you of home. So we decided that since there w…

cdethorne Maura, Your pictures are fantastic. I am very jealous of your Barcelona trip and Mr. DeThorne wishes he could go to Normandy. I think even Patrick is (secretly) jealous of all of your adventures! We miss you and look forward to seeing you when you get back. We are getting tickets to see A Christmas Carol and are scheduling them around your return (again, I'm sure Patrick will be thrilled given his love of all things "theater") Be good......c.d.

Molly O! Maura!! I love this blog thing and am so glad you went t Oktoberfest!! Looks like you guys had a blast...aren't the Germans fun?! I just started cracking up at work when I read about how you were "summoned to your room" for missing breakfast...boy can I relate to that! I'm so excited for you...sounds like you are having such an amazing time! Stop punching French women in the head though...you are giving us Americans a bad name! haha Love you! Molly

cdethorne I am watching Law and Order Criminal Intent....Do they have that in Paris..I suspect not. Anyhow, there is a detective that looks just like a tall red headed version of you. She has a very cute short haircut that looks very Parisian, so perhaps you should consider it? Just found out that Patrick's Aunt Jackie was in Paris....too bad she didn't know you were there at the same time.......
