I've said my goodbyes to Grenoble and parted my ways with La France. It wasn't my favorite thing to do but what is done is done, right!? One day I will make my way back to Europe for some more time... http://www.getjealous.com/missnikita http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=336921&go=missnikita So today has been a very long day. It"s not even close to over yet. Still, it has been long and tiresome. I am currently sitting in Heathrow Airport in London waiting for my perfectly timed layover of 4 hours to pass. I say perfectly because I am allowed to sit and enjoy my Starbucks (YES!). I"m convinced they put something in this stuff because Grenoble had me feigning... but that"... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=336921&go=missnikita Fri, 1 Jun 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=336924&go=missnikita Ok, that was corny. But enjoy the pictures that I took while enjoying the beautiful eastern European city of Prague. I haven't had time to write all about it so the pictures will have to suffice. Sorry! This was my last trip for the semester and I definitely had fun. I'll miss the easy/convenient/cheap traveling I experienced over the last five months!

However, I must confess something to you. This weekend I started an affair with Spain. It was a short fling, I promise. But it will stay in my heart forever! I flew out of Lyon airport on Friday afternoon to Madrid, Spain. From there I took a two and half hour bus ride to the city of Salamanca. Its a beautifu... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=330080&go=missnikita Fri, 4 May 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=317674&go=missnikita France has a lot of vacation. But, even luckier for me, there are lots of national holidays in the month of May. Four to be exact -and none of them are weekends. Two of them are Tuesdays. This past Monday, the day before the nation's equivilent of our Labor Day, we were also given the day off. It's called a "pont" or a bridge to the holiday. Classes were cancelled and rescheduled so that we could ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=317674&go=missnikita Mon, 30 Apr 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=315127&go=missnikita So I made my way back to Switzerland. This time it was sunny and, most importantly, WARM! If you remember, I went to Geneva in the beginning of February... however, I might be the only one to remember that it was FREEZING. This time the trip was with my program (AIFS) and organized. We started with a tour of the United Nations. I learned that the UN in Geneva is second largest after the one in... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=315127&go=missnikita Sat, 28 Apr 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=312832&go=missnikita Part ONE: 5 days in Paris... So even though I went to Paris during my first break, I just had to go again. Fun times, I must say! Highlights include spending the day at the magnificent palace of Versaille and sleeping/picnic-ing in the luxurious gardens. We then proceeded to take to the silliest and most fun pictures of all time.

We headed to the SW of France to visit family and then back to Grenoble. She left me on Saturday morning to head home. I will tell you all the details at another time, sorry! I just wanted to share the pictures with you before I bombard you with another set in a week! Oh yea, my cousin Lydia from London met up with us in Grenoble. It was a REAL ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=300785&go=missnikita Thu, 22 Mar 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=292998&go=missnikita It was just like my favorite book by Shay Youngblood. Well, not really. The only thing my experience and the book had in common was the title "Black Girl in Paris." Nonetheless, it was a great experience. --------------- Thursday: --------------- It all started with a quick ride on the train. Although Paris is over 350 miles from Grenoble, the French high-speed train, called the TGV, gets ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=292998&go=missnikita Thu, 15 Mar 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=293080&go=missnikita Everything is just so much more fun when you do it with a Nonso. I would've suggested that you try it one day, but this is one thing Im not big on sharing. I had the best four days in London spending time with this wonderful person who goes by the name of Nonso. It was his first time in London so we did the whole touristy thing. It was great since Ive been there a few times and I know my way aro... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=293080&go=missnikita Fri, 9 Mar 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=282788&go=missnikita The next couple of weeks are going to be great. Tomorrow (Fri) I'm off to London to spend 4 days with my Nonso. After that, I have a day of class (booo) and then on Thursday I'm off to Paris!! also known as Pah-ree :) Mommy is meeting me in Paris on the Sunday and we will leave Paris on Tuesday to go visit our cousin in another beautiful part of France. Lastly, we will be heading back to Grenob... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=282788&go=missnikita Thu, 8 Mar 2007 12:00:00 GMT
