Paris

Drinking wine and smoking cigarettes by the Seine is fun. Probably the healthiest thing you could do as an American. Riding bikes through the city at 2am. Seeing the Eiffel Tower for the first time after it popped out from behind a tree. Art. Cafés.

They were great, but taking pictures in a museum is lame...

Normandy was awesome. A sad time to look back on in a way. Beautiful place with beautiful people and amazing food. Nice to get out to the countryside!
