My Return To The Famille Cradle

It has been more than 35 years since I began my search for members of the "Fluviot clan." I never had a chance to inquire from my granfather, Emil Louis Gambetta Fluviot, where our family originated or if there were others any where in the w...

 

Our 2007 UK and Europe Trip

This trip took us further south west of Norwich than we have to date with our first stop, Sudbury and more specifically the Thomas Gainsborough Museum. Gainsborough was born in 1727 and went on to become England’s foremost portrait and landscape artis...

Paris 2006

In all my previous visits to Paris, I'd never been to the Arc de Triomphe - so we took care of that today. A quick rattle along le Metro to Charles-de-Gaulle-Etoile and we popped up at the imposing archway, looming over the traffic. Begun by Napoleon i...

 

Paris - France

The mission was simple. See the Eiffel Tower! My first whirlwind tour of Paris with Jenn and Sarah had that one thing lacking so I wanted to make sure that this trip I got to see Paris' most famous icon. For the second time I found myself on the 5....

 

Paris

What we saw: *Boulevard Haussmann *l'Opéra *Ste Marie Magdeleine *Place de la Concorde *Champs Élisées *l'Arc de Triomphe Supper in the Latin Quarter: way too many people!...

 

Europe 2005

I'm living in downtown Helsinki for the summer. Not the quiet peaceful place you'd imagine, but culturally rich. The President of Julliard spoke to my Arts Management class! Now that the World Games are over, athletes and tourists flood the airport....

 

European Extravaganza (that your not on)....

So after the long ferry ride we arived in Patras and grabbed a train into Athens. I just so happens that my first night in Athens was also my 23rd birthday. We went to this really nice resturant and gazed a the Acopolis at night. Next day we walked aro...

 

France

The City of Love - well we did see a lot of lovedovey people on the streets of paris, but the price of things really shocked us back to reality. We got to experience paris well known qualites they include: Beauty - The Eiffle Tower at night is one o...

 

Studying Abroad in Paris, Spring 2007

To visit Lauren. Wednesday I got into Dublin and suddenly remembering that they "parlez anglais" in this country. It was wonderfully refreshing! My old roommate Lauren met me at the bus stop from the airport, and greeted me at Trinity...

 

My lifes journey's so far

Back to Paris... How lucky am I!!! This time with a friend and a bit more time...

 

Mexico Ride

Well, I had to skip the US for a bit to renew my VISA, what better way than a quick visit of the gang in London, over to Paris to see the sites and then onto Amsterdam to um, sleep. Flew back into New York and spent a few days in New Jersey for work....

 

Paris

We took the midnight train to Paris (not quite Georgia). We arrived bleary-eyed on Thursday morning, the 5th. It was an excellent morning with sunny skies, and a balmy 15C (59F). We immediately stashed all non-essentials and wisked through a train-r...

 

France 2005

Première journée à Lille, j'en profite pour visiter le coin et nous nous reposons avant d'aller visiter Lille le lendemain....

 

Study Abroad 2006

Classes ended on Tuesday and I have finals tomorrow and Saturday... so obviously I decided the best use of my time would be to update. :) Speaking of finals, the french system is really silly, in my opinion. When they write exams, the goal is that y...

 

A Child's Europe

Gray Paris. We slept in our Volkswagon bus as the rain poured down making signs that we were only partially welcomed. I bought postcards of naked female statues and the Eiffel Tower. We found a dingy pension and ate watery spaghetti....I was satisfied,...

 

France, Monaco & Itlay. 2001.

When the plane approached Nice, everyone in my class was looking out the windows where you could see we were right above the Mediterranean Sea and so close to the shore line. Nice was nothing like any of us had expected! Our teacher hadn’t given us a...

Life of a Working Holidaymaker

A significant month. The 15th marked my 6 month anniversary of arrival in London. In celebration, I spent the day in Cambridge. It was a great day, with beautiful weather and plenty of green fields, pretty rivers, funky old buildings, and lazing uni st...

 

Europe Gap Year 2005-2006

Have really enjoyed our time in London. Still feel like we're on holiday even though we have to work. London Weather: Not that bad! Even winter was bearable and the summer days are long and (mostly) sunny. Maybe we struck a good year? Londo...

 

Our Big Around the World Adventure

We arrived in San Pedro de Atacama after 3 days touring through the Bolivian salt flats and deserts, rather the worse for wear and very grubby! Thrilled to be in a place that was a bit more upmarket and tourist friendly, we treated ourselves to our mos...

 

Paris

Paris was amazing, what can i say. So much to see and do that 5 days was clearly not enough time! We took the Eurostar there which in itself was cool, however i did fall asleep for most of it...typical. Didnt take us long before we were out of out p...

Europe August-September 2005

The night train to Florence was one of the highlights of the trip for me. I tried to get some sleep early on because I was scared of missing the stop, but it was all too exciting. Changed at Pisa at 3:30am and fell asleep, woke up then nearly got off...

 

Girls Weekend in Paris

Roxy and I went to Paris for a long weekend away from the boys! We caught the Eurostar which I must say in many ways is better than flying, you only have to get to waterloo half hour before the train leaves (waterloo is close to the middle of the city-...

 

The Big Oh-Eee

I drank more Guinness than I have ever even SEEN in my life, but it would be rude to go to Dublin and not have one! Plus it was the cheapest drink in every pub which is the main reason we kept drinking it rather than switching to something else! ...

 

Contiki: European Escapade

01/06/2005 Started off on our Australian rite of passage today, a 25 day Contiki tour. The hotel that they put us up in was pretty grotty but it was central and everyone else from our tour was staying there as well so we got a chance to get to k...
