Two weeks!

Two weeks from today, I will be flying out to Rome for Spring Break. ;;; aaaaa, excitement!!

My grandmother and I are starting off in Rome, then going to Venice, and then I believe Florence. Somewhere in there, I believe we're going to a winery, which I'm super excited to have real, fancy wine for the first time! Nick has started to cultivate a love ( Read more... )

Oh my gosh, I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU. A tour of Europe!! La Tour Eiffel!! Swiss chocolate! (I wonder if it's any better than Belgian chocolate.)

Your grandmother is the best.

French desserts you need to try:

1. Creme brulee (duh)
2. Creme caramel
3. Profiteroles (kind of like Whoopie Pies, but with ice cream in the middle!)
4. Waffles with chocolate/other toppings.
5. Fruit tarts, any fruit tarts
6. Panna cotta!!
7. And for the love of baby jesus, you need to eat a hot, fresh, and scrumptious Nutella and banana crepe from a street vendor. Just do it. They have other flavors too, but the chocolate/banana combination was the most filling.

There's also one that Monsieur Rottier drilled into our heads through French II-III at KHS; les religieux--they're basically nun-shaped chocolates with whipped cream and caramel in the middle.

Oh, France, you're going to give me diabetes and I'm going to enjoy every minute of it.

I'm about 30 mins away from London, actually!

I'd love to meet up.
