United States Travel: TEXAS

Again, driving all the way down to Texas was insane. It took us about 36 hours driving straight through. However, Texas was fascinating, big, and...well, very country. A bit patriotical. We only drove through Dallas, and stayed in Fort Worth (which ...

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...
