Traveling through Europe

[kelaina]

Well, I feel better since I've gotten the outline done for my paper, so I'm taking a brief break.

I have decided that I am desperate to get out of the States for the summer, and so this year, I'm going to the Languedoc. Yes, yes, I know I say this EVERY summer, but this time, I mean it. I'm saving up three and half grand, I'm plotting a route via train, and I am GOING. And SOMEONE is coming with me. Hopefully Dana.

There is a possibility that Tom could meet me in England, so we could see Hadrian's Wall and the Roman History Museum up in Cumbria. If so, I'd only be spending ten days in France and the rest of the time in England.

I'm flying into Toulouse, then hitting Carcassonne, Bezier, Montpillier, and Paris. Yes, yes, Paris is not the beauty Americans think is, you're so Americanized, blah blah blah.

I fell in love with Paris the last time I was there. I'm going back, and I want to spend at least three days there. Anyone who thinks it's a sucky idea can BITE ME.

I just have to make sure that 1: someone can go with me, and 2: I can get enough cash together.

Carcassonne is really not worth the trip :-/ There was some neat stuff, but it was very touristy and felt more like a Renaissance Fair than an actual medieval village. Lots of tacky tourist traps and junk like that. If I had to recommend only one place to go in France, I'd say Versailles. Hands down.

Good luck on step 1 and 2, and who cares if Paris isn't as splendiforous as most people may think. Paris is PARIS. The fucking capital of France. That's reason enough.
