 Venice! |
My study abroad program in Brighton is sadly over, which means my adventures in Europe are over…for now. I’m vowing to return to Brighton to see the things some of my peers got to see–such as the countryside & Sussex castle–that I didn’t get to see. Although London was my favorite city to visit on the weekends, living in Brighton for 8 weeks felt like a home away from home. I never wanted to leave! Still in denial that I’m back in the States & that it’s all over *cries*.
Layout update no one cares about other than me: Extended the banner, added new pictures, extended the content area. Decided that pictures henceforth these albums shall be 780 by 517 pixels. Should’ve done this before I went to Europe though…oh well. Still have the originals for all the photos.
Venice
Our weekend trip into Italy started with Venice on Friday, followed by Rome from Saturday to Monday.

Rome
Delicious food everywhere! Although Venice had better food than Rome, the food was still fantastic. I’ve yet to find an Italian restaurant in the States that can surpass the food in Italy.

Sunday
We climbed the 500+ stairs up to the top of Vatican city. The view from the Piazza San Pietro was absolutely beautiful, which is why I spammed the heck out of my shutter button. Pictures really don’t do it justice. Although if anyone is planning on visiting, keep in mind that bare shoulders & above knee length dresses/shorts are not permitted. You are required to cover up. Just because the Prime Minister is into Bunga Bunga parties & prostitutes doesn’t mean you can waltz into the church showin’ off all your shoulder/leg skin…even if it is 34ºC.

Saturday
We did a lot on Saturday, but I’m getting really exhausted (#photojournalproblems) posting these pictures, so you can just view the album for the whole thing. Olivia informed me of the correct pronunciation & spelling of these French treats girls are obsessed with: mack-uh-ron & m-a-c-a-r-o-n. Macaroons are those coconut mounds. THE MORE YOU KNOW!

Brighton
My Anthropology of the Body class went into town for our weekly fieldwork assignment. Our professor, Barbara, led us to a pub called the Saint James, where she bought us a round of shots of Tuaca. We then walked to the pier, into an old arcade (where some of us got our palms read), & then went to eat. Out of all the pictures I’ve uploaded from my travels thus far, this album & the album after it are some of my favorites. My 35mm is absolutely fantastic.

The Mock Turtle
Adam, Genelli, Yia, & I went to have tea & supper at the Mock Turtle. The pastries were so scrumptious & the cream tea really hit the spot.

More albums to follow, always. My friend Rion told me to take a ton of pictures because he needs a new desktop wallpaper. Feel free to tell me which pictures you think would make a great wallpaper & I’ll upload them onto Aesthetic Intoxication for public usage.
I like your new header!
These are all great photos, and I’m beginning to think that I’m the only one not traveling to another country or city, whatever. I’m about to book a trip, to somewhere.
haha well it’s summer, so traveling to the beach would be fun enough on a budget! I hope you do get to travel this year though. Take lots of pictures!
you look stunning! The trip looked really fun… the cities are beautiful and the food looks yummy (except for the seafood, I hate seafood lol)
Thanks! That’s too bad, seafood is delicious. 🙂
Oh my… what a week! I can definitely say that I am a bit envious. I have always wanted to visit Europe… and see all those places you have been… I can’t imagine how much you must have enjoyed living there in Brighton. I bet those 8 weeks flew by though! But what a great opportunity to have. 😀 I am so glad you shared these photos with us… amazing!
I read that you’re originally from LA? That’s not too bad of a place to live! I recently moved to Sacramento from Memphis. California is absolutely great. 😀
I was in Europe for a total of 9 weeks (8 weeks in Brighton, 1 extra week to travel around teeehehe) & I still felt like I didn’t get to see enough! It was my like…my 5th time in Europe too. There’s just soooo much to see. I’m jealous of me 3 weeks ago when I was still in Europe! hahaha. I hope that you have the opportunity to visit one day. It’s amazing & tons of fun. Seriously time flew by so quickly!!!
Yes, I reside in LA! I definitely love California! Waaaah NorCal to Memphis, eh? How was the move? Culture shock a bit? Hate it? Love it? Adjusting? Undecided?
Great pictures! I’d love to go to Italy once. Rome and Venice look so amazing. Oh and ehm.. GIVE ME YOUR MACARONS :(((((
Sorry girl, ate ’em all! Just take a train down to Paris & eat all the legit macarons you can stuff your face with!
I love your pictures from Italy. I went to Rome in April so I recognise all the sights. 🙂 Looks like you had nice weather too. It was nice when I went to Rome but it rained when I went to Florence and Pisa. 🙁
I went to Vatican City but I didn’t climb to the top. I wish I had though, the view looks amazing!!
Ahh that’s too bad. I love the rain, but when you’re traveling, it should be sunny!!
The climb was exhausting & it was realllly hot that day, but it was worth it!
780 BE BEAUTIFULLLLLLLL. Just like those beautiful post thumbnails thingymabobbssss.
hahaha i know!! it was a smart move. Thanks for the nrelate!
