It’s summer, we’re almost in August, which means that all the people at work will be going away for almost the whole month (yes people, that’s a thing here in Barcelona… I don’t get it either). It also means that I will be working all alone for most of the month.
That doesn’t mean that I don’t get to travel. If you’re following this blog for a while now, you know that I DO travel quite a bit. So I thought that maybe I would start sharing some pics of the places I’ve been throughout the years. Sounds good?
Ideally I would to this in chronological order, but given that before 2005 all my photos are physical and at Portugal, I’ll start with a more recent trip :).
In February 2006 I went (for my third time) to Paris, this time with friends. I was never so cold in my life than on those few days, but I loved it.
The pyramid of the Louvre Museum:
Sacre Coeur:
L’Arc de Triomphe:
The Orbitron at Disneyland Paris:
Moulin Rouge:
The Eiffel Tower:
Me at Disneyland (almost 10 years ago!):
This was also my journey with the coolest photos, lol. So, have you been to Paris? Do you want to go someday? 🙂
*** ohhh, I had forgotten about this one, it’s the city of Paris viewed from the Eiffel Tower***
My Tiny Obsessions 
I’ve been to Paris before! My mum and I went together as a sort of consolation because we thought I didn’t get into the exchange program (which I did end up getting into though). I really liked it there and it showed that I had a much better sense of direction than my mum.
Some weird things happened though. E.g. my mum asked a cop for directions, in English, and he answered in French. I understood him but most people who ask others in English probably wouldn’t have had a clue as to what he was saying.
And then there was this random guy on the street asking “Tu es une salope?”, which basically means “Are you a slut?”. I wasn’t wearing anything provocative just to be clear.
Other than that, most people were really nice (except for one waiter) and we had a good time there. It’s a beautiful city!
wow, those things did not happen to me! 😉
The first time I went there I was with my father, step-mom and step sister, we were there for a few days. I loved it. I want to post the pictures, but they’re at my ex-step-mom’s house and I need to get them first :). Also, I was really young when I went the first time… 11 I think, a LONG time go!
The last time I had a weird moment on the subway, I got stuck between the doors and the train was coming… no biggie though, we laughed a lot about it.
The pictures you posted look really gorgeous! Like they could be in a magazine or something like that!
I bet it was scary in that moment though. Good that you can laugh about it afterwards!
in 2006 i was very into photos, don’t really know why, so I played a lot with contrast and lighting. Those are the only photos I have though, unfortunately I lost all others from that trip 😦
Oh no 😦 that’s so sad!
yes 😦 I was able to hold on to some that I had run through photoshop or modified in any way. But the original folder vanished. Unfortunately I know that I didn’t actually “lose” it, rather someone deleted it, which is far worse.
That I terrible! I can’t imagine why anyone would do that … 😦
oh, I can, I’ll tell you the story one day
Oh my … That’s sounds bad 😦
Lol, I’m assuming it, because I know that the person in question was able to do it, and because at the time she was mistakenly mad at me and pretending that everything was fine. It’s all very twisted
It definitely sounds so.
What exquisite photos.
thank you
I’ve been to Paris, twice! I have been obsessed with that city ever since I went there the first time. I’ve been to Disneyland Paris too. I wrote a post about my second trip to Paris on my blog!
Have you ever had any encounters with the bracelet-selling people that are usually near the Sacre Coeur? They were there when I went in 2009 and they basically run up to you and tie a bracelet on you and then try to make you pay for it!
yeah, i remember that. I don’t remember how we made ourselves scarce, i think one of my friends had to buy one… Gosh, I did not remember that 😀
Hopefully someday I can go! I’m saving up for it…I’m dreaming of a Euro trip but I need lots of money haha I wish it grew on trees, lol. Your pictures are amazing even if it was taken almost a decade ago. 🙂 I will keep on dreaming until it becomes a reality!
good luck 😀
Wow! cool pics I’m so jealous 🙂
have you ever been? (by the way, where are you from, if you don’t mind me asking?)
I’ve never been to paris but I would love to go there and by the way I’m from India. 🙂
how cool! isn’t it great that we find people from all around the world here?
Yes! It’s one of the awesome thing about blogging so we can interact with people from all over the world 🙂
