Disneyland (pronounced Dis-nay-lahnd)

Here's another small picture update. During the second part of spring break, I went to Disneyland Paris with a few friends. If anyone has been to Disneyworld or Disneyland in Florida or California, those have nothing on this Disney park. There are actual rollercoasters (both Indiana Jones and Space Mountain have loops) and on top of that the animatronics speak French! Of course C3PO was a little hard to understand and I didn't get everything at the Haunted Mansion, but it was amazing nonetheless. So, without further ado, here are some pictures from that day. The first is me and my friend Lauren S in front of a sign that says "la ou les reves deviennent realite", which means roughly "where dreams come true":


Next is me after a makeover in the Pirates of the Caribbean giftshop:

Spring break and my "dossiers"

Hi Everyone,
Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I got back from spring break about 2 weeks ago, but I have been writing final papers like mad. I am right now in the middle of a 5-page "dossier" on the new 24-hour French news network, France24, and finished another on the train terminals of Paris on Sunday. I'll post again when I get a chance, but here's two pictures for now of my spring break (where I went to Barcelona, Porto, and Lisbon). It's me looking out onto Porto from the top of the Torre dos Clerigos:

And another one just for good measure of me at the Oceanarium in Lisbon:
