Travel Plans

It's hard to believe it, but it's been snowing in Paris. Everything is covered in a light powder and the Christmas markets are out. There's an ice skating rink at the Hotel de Ville that I'm planning to go to tomorrow, and a whole bunch of arcades are set up all along Bastille (so I can get my button mashing fix).

It's also been snowing in Germany, where I will be this Sunday! I arrive around noon, take the 45 minute train to the hotel, check in, and then plan to meet up with one of the guys I met on my trip to Brussels. Although he's Australian, he's been in Europe for a long time now and knows Munich pretty well. He's going to be there Sunday as well and offered to show me around the city. Exciting!

Then Sarah is set to arrive on Monday and the two of us are bound to have fun making snow balls, snow men, and snow angels like the little kids we really are. I haven't planned out much more than that for Munich, but I know whatever we do it will be fun, so I'm just keeping myself open.

Then on the 26th, it's a flight back to Paris where I'll get to meet up with my friend Bailey, who will be visiting from London. Bailey always seems to be doing something fun, so I'm sure whatever we do will be awesome. After a nice visit, I have a day to do my laundry and pack for london. Sophie turned 21 while I've been in Paris, so I can't wait to see her and celebrate her birthday as well as New Years with some champagne, fois gras, and delicious French cheese that I'll be putting into one giant suitcase.

And then, I'm going to Dijon on Jan 8th. Just a little cherry on top. Sure to be an exciting few weeks, I'll try to keep you updated.
