Val Thorens is part of a resort area called “Les Trois Vallees” which literally translates from French as the three valleys. Each of the three valleys has a town with a ski resort. Together they make up “Les Trois Vallees”. Ross, Dan, Mike and myself went to Val Thorens which is the highest resort in Europe at 2300 meters above sea level for our spring break. The bus ride was long but we met some Dutchies who kept us entertained, especially Ross and Mike. For the 10 day period, the weather could not have been any better. Upon arrival, we were graced with a beautiful blue sky. We took advantage as we sat outside and relaxed for a little. In the early evening the snow started and didn’t really stop for a week. Every morning we ... read more

All weekend whenever we turned the radio on Justin Timberlake was always playing. For this reason we named the car Justin Timberlake. We had also contemplated JT and Justin but after much debate agreed on the full name Justin Timberlake.... read more

The day started early, Julia showered first at 7:40, then Chelsea, me and finally Ross. We were quick and made our way to breakfast. We headed off on our day excursion to see the old part of Luxembourg. Outside the hostel we were immediately faced with an uphill walk (Julia would argue climb - only because she needed to rest part way up and then catch her breath at the top.) At the top is the wall surrounding the old city, which was built in 963. It is no longer fully intact but a good part of it still exists. (As can be seen in the pictures) We walked around the wall and through the town. It is not very big and we finished seeing everything we wanted to in half a day. We decided to ... read more

Tonight was a fun night at Escape, one of Amsterdam's top clubs. Of course, Ross and I hosted the pre-drink as always...... read more
