My sister and I just went to France

After 2 decades of being alive, this was the first time I had been outside of the United States. We planned this trip for months, and managed to make it fairly inexpensive to go which was a bonus. It definitely was a fantastic opportunity to use my ‘new’ DSLR camera (new meaning a few months old but I still get excited about it), and to experience a different culture than the one I grew up with. It was also awesome to see my sister pushed outside of her comfort zone and excelling. She has been learning and speaking french for the past few years, and while nervous initially about how the Parisians we talked to would perceive her, she got so excited to actually speak to native speakers other than the professors and teachers she has had.

Lady and Lord Sapphire Noir made it to the airport. Usual pat down at TSA (left hip). Turns out 3 hours was needed for traffic and security.

intro

I take off for Paris in over a month, it seems like itll be ages before i actually think of packing even though I’m doing that already and making a list of all the clothes that i want to buy. I probably won’t post until then but I am posting this to express my intentions into the void of people. this will be my first time out in the world, outside of my comfortable bubble that is Lakewood, Dallas, TX and my yearly trips to the beach in Ft. Morgan, Alabama. While i will not be on my own, it will be a change and am looking forward to the change in scenery and culture and pretty much everything. I plan to be a tourist. There is a connotation to the word that makes people think it’s a bad thing... but its not. It just means you are cherishing the culture around that is unfamiliar. I, of course, am overjoyed at this point leading up to the trip, making money only to be spent in little shops in Paris, but that’s besides the point. i have this feeling that I will change, I will be scared, I wont be the bubbly girl  consider myself to be. Going on this trip with only family members also will make it run its course differently, while i’ll want to go to bars to be hit on by hot foreigners my family, and by that i mean my great uncle, will limit me to the historical significance of some building. I’m sure it will all be interesting but at this point in my life as I head into my first year of independence i just want to be independent already. And while that was a nice rant i should probably explain why i wanted to write this in the first place, well I’m going to be a communication major and well it just makes sense to communicate with you or whoever or nobody. I consider myself a nostalgic person and i often like to ask myself the question “how will I look back at this in 20 years?” and that’s why I’m writing this.

Hi Everyone,

I will try to keep everyone posted about my travels and journey abroad (in Cordoba, Spain) through this blog! There will be many horribly taken photos (which will mean, those are mines), amazingly taken photos (which will mean I stole those photos from my fellow abroaders), and low-quality videos (because I am using a cheap point and shoot camera) to take you all on this amazing journey I am about to embark on! I would like to mention this is my first time out of the States! 

Please brace yourself for my horrible grammar, high-pitched voice, and shaking videos! Who knows when and where I will be taking pictures or videos?! I will be writing in English for the people at home that aren't trying to learn Spanish :) 

It makes me happy to know that you all are able to share these moments with me, thousands of miles away, in my journey of learning Spanish, going to a new country, being out of my comfort zone, and cycling around Spain! 

I have already received permission to post any of these videos :P! So keep posted!
