Get me out of France

Hey guys,

So here are some pics of my second week of vacation. My friend Charlene and I went to Berlin for three days and then to Krakow for two. It was quite refreshing to get out of France for a while and exciting that we didn't speak one word of the language. Most people spoke English, however so it was a vacation in every sense of the word. I absolutely LOVED Krakow and plan to go back during my April vacation. (Yep, the French have lots and lots of vacation time)

Well, the blog is telling me I'm out of picture space...and I'm clearly not going to purchase more space. Once I figure out how to post links to the pics through facebook, I'll put it up. If anyone knows how to do it, please let me know...I don't know much about computers :)

Hope everyone is doing well!

1st of Vaca

Hey everyone,

Well, the first leg of my vacation is officially completed. It was a wonderful week in the Dordogne area of France, which was incredibly beautiful. Charlene and I rented a car and drove through the beautiful country with no accidents and very few mishaps! Not bad for two Americans in France.

We saw some beautiful things, most of which was very old. We went to a medieval village built into to the cliffside call Rocamadour and we saw the caves of Lascaux, which are ancient cave drawings. Pretty much everything we drove by was gorgeous.

Only 5 days in Berlin and Poland to conquer now.

Enjoy the pics:

First stop, Paris



Little village of Brantôme







The foie gras region: I thought it was really optimistic to have pictures and statues of live ducks everywhere...like they made it








Reminds me of Grenoble

Approach to Rocamadour

Nice place to work..

Now to the Roman stuff
