First time in France (and not just over the border :)


I had the most wonderful time with my boyfriend in Rouen. I enjoyed seeing this city, and we got so lucky with the weather! Usually it rains often in this region of France (Normandy). From a few people I have heard this is one of the most beautiful cities in France, and I could certainly agree (in comparison with Strasbourg and Colmar, which are also extremely nice cities especially in the Spring). It's known for its many Cathedrals (I took a picture of a few-- there are MANY) and history.
I'm excited to go back in December and check out the Christmas market :)

Here's more information:

I'm pretty sure the food markets are every day (always with fresh seafood!)

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
We visited the fair :)

 
 

 
It's evidently the second biggest fair in France :) Such a treat. French fair food is the BEST!!

Italian Summer :)

I had the most adventurous 5 days exploring La Grazie, San Terenzo, Portovenere, Cinque Terre, Florence, and Pisa with my friends Eva and the best host, Alberto.  :)) It was the perfect little vacation before I get back into studying for exams and preparing for my last year in the University!
