New update on my other livejournal - my Toussaint (All Saint's) vacation. I went to Budapest, Prague, Vienna and Bratislava and it was fabulous. But I'm glad to be home. Being a tourist is tiring, I had to get up early every day (I suppose I could've slept, but then I wouldn't have seen anything). Plus, after a while it got tiring looking at ( Read more... )

Lots of new pictures on my France livejournal. For those who can't remember: www.livejournal.com/~birgitinlyon. They're from Oktoberfest!

For those of you who want to keep up with my goings-on in France, I've created a new livejournal specifically for that. The name is birgitinlyon. Creative, I know - where do I come up with these things? Anyway, I'll still be updating in here every now and then (I haven't decided how I'll divide these things) and that one will never have friends- ( Read more... )
