TRAVEL: EUROPE

Although I was young when I went to France and Italy, the journey is still in me somewhere.

FRANCE

I visited France when I was two years old.  Luckily my mom’s cousin lives in Paris and let us stay in her apartment for a couple weeks.  We also took a train to the south of France to Pau, where we visited with relatives on my Dad’s side.  I don’t remember much about this trip, maybe because I fell asleep when visiting the Eiffel Tower!  Someday I’d like to go back to this country, as most of my mom’s family are descendants from this area of the world.Your content goes here.

ITALY

When I was four, good friends of ours asked me to be a flower girl in their wedding, so we packed our bags and traveled to Tuscany.  We visited Florence and Lucca. I remember riding in a cart on the back of a bicycle which my mom pedaled around the walled city of Lucca.  I also remember staying in an enormous historic villa which had an Olympic-size swimming pool on the grounds. I’m happy that remember some of this trip, but would like to return their some day.
