Roma

Heyhey,

It's been a while since I've updated my blog and I apologize!! I'm now back in Paris so let me take you through my past three weeks. It all started in Rome, Italy.

Rome was beautiful, this wasn't my first time there but I loved it just as much as the first time if not more.  As soon as I got to the airport I spotted two backpackers who had canadian flags (those canadians are everywhere!).  We quickly became friends, Bobbi and Leslie are cousins from BC.  I found my hostel no problem and was reassured by how clean and safe it was, since this was my first time staying in a hostel I didn't know what to expect. I then met another Canadian, this time from Calgary. Nicole and I ended up visiting a lot of Rome together. I saw the Vatican, the Colosseum, Trevi Foutain, the Spanish Steps, Villa Borghese!

My last night there was one of the best! Nicole had read about this restaurant where you selected the 3 dish option on the menu and they brought you 3 random dishes, chef's choice. It was awesome! We got one ravioli dish, one rice and vegetable dish and lastly a penne and ham dish. It was delicious and so exciting not knowing what was coming next!

Here I goooo!!!!

And so it has begun, the next two months of my life filled with adventures and unexpected turns! I spent a fantastic last night in Paris with my friends and then boarded a train for Nice. Unfortunately, it looks like I brought Parisian weather to the south, as it's been raining non-stop and there's even been flooding in the region, but none of that matters because I am so happy to be surrounded by family and prepping for my european travels. This Saturday all my cousins and their families are getting together at my aunt's house and then Monday I'm off to Rome :)

Bisous,
Clara
