After moving to New York City for school my friends and I decided a great way to get to know the city is to try a new restaurant every thursday night. It's also a place where I can to take a minute and reflect on the craziness of my new life and the lessons I'm learning along the way. We have been having so much fun meeting cute waiters, talking to other foodies and eating lots of fabulous food. Now about that gym membership...

A Touristy Few Days in Paris
After a very long meal at Guy Savoy, it was time to walk it off, and where better to walk then through the streets of Paris. We walked along the Seine looking at all the artwork and stores and over the famous bridges and noticed the locks on some of them. I had to google this peculiar tradition and learned that people from around the world leave "lovelocks", locks with names or initials of couples. A long day of walking calls for one of my favorite parts of traveling, room service of course. It has become an important factor in my travels, who doesn't like being served in bed? The next day we went to my new favorite place, Versailles Palace, the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Although its vast size, not one small detail is out of place and everything is in perfect condition. Just looking at the gates I knew this was something special and then walked into the hall of mirrors and understood why its world famous. The enormous chandeliers, gold leaf molding, vibrant tapestries and walls of mirrors throughout the whole palace truly makes this a special place.

This is so beautiful, it takes you a few hundred years back... with no lasers and computers, how did they manage to get everything so precise?
