poor OG and xands hehe no worries, i would nver have done justice to your blog. hail bettina! best guest blogger! you guys wuda ended up with a bullet point list of our boracay trip hehe
Melissa, I can't wait to read the rest of your Madrid blogs. When you mentioned the man in 1998 who said, "Eres como una fantasma" it moved me because I know that's how I would feel if I went back after our awesome 97 trip. Hopefully, you will be able to relive it this time in a new light. I am sure you will, and can't wait to hear all about it!
clarks yeap... but i wore them for days, and though more comfortable, i felt like i was walking barefoot! i could feel every little cobblestone in athens!
Akhenaten was the first to introduce the concept of a monotheistic religion. Really brilliant fascinating odd looking tall dude with a serious beer belly.
"an inch worth" funnnny! hmm, did i miss the Sancerre craze?...i'll keep reading. Meli: ditto on the clinton/obama ticket; i so don't want to have to choose. and i'm loving the pronunciations (e.g., Ewe-BEHR). who's Mamu (2nd and 4th pic titles)?
Aww, that's great that you still keep up with your host family-- and they're reading the blog!!! I'm really far behind on the blogs (just got back from 10 year) so I'm not commenting much ...but I AM reading. :)
thank you thank you, leroy, for showing us the paris you love and which we now love. thank you, bett, for getting us wonderful apartments! and thank you, meme, for inviting bob and me to share this wonderful experience. mwa!
manet's my man!! that was breathtaking in person - dejeuner sur l'herbe...it was my FAVORITE!!!!
dinner with maman made my experience richer...thanks leroy and maman and family!!!!!!
who are you? leroy was toasting to havana club rum and cubalibres. i also can't wait for the wedding bells... but care to sign your name so we know who you are?
i love that meli and betsy were there together. *sigh* wish i could've hitched a ride in your luggage! sounds fabulous and fun, and i am so excited to continue reading your blogs.
sancerre mom -- there is definitely sancerre in cali. that was where i first tried it -- in a cafe in san francisco on bettina's birthday some five years ago. maybe not at trader joe's, but go on and step up to the real wine shops!
great job, bett! that was great blogging, bett! woo hoo. looking forward to your next blogs. by the way, no sancerre here. but TJ carries a lot of french wine - 12.5% alcohol vs. 14% for california wine. however, a friend hypothesized that an allergy to sulfates may be the reason for the big head senstations with california wines and no such reaction to french wines. and i actually am up to 2 inches now. will do a blind test though to see if i still get those big head sensations from CA wine (red or white).
Simply amazing Bettina and Melissa, you are both soooo good at describing your trip! In reading it, I feel like I'm there with you guys experiencing all the different things you went through and eating all the wonderful pastries you described. Ang galing nyo naman! Wait...that's Filipino not French =P!
rabble rouser you two look like your having an awesome time! can't wait to see you upon your return. both of you are more than welcome to crash for graduation.
No more boards. No more rotations. No more pagers. We are done with med school, and we're out to see the world. Six continents. 15 countries. 10 languages. 54,417 air miles. 2 travelers. One! We are keeping this travel blog mainly as a travel diary for ourselves, but we also want to share our trip with family and friends. It's better than an interminable slide show at the end of the trip, right? We hope the travel blog becomes a great way for you guys to keep in touch with us (and to procrastinate)!
