Paris and Abby's visit

What an insane month it has been!  February definitely kept me busy!  After Kelsey's visit, Mat and I went to Paris for a couple days, then Abby came to visit for a week... all while I was frantically trying to finish a paper.  Needless to say I'm happy to have a day today to do nothing! My brain needs a break!
Here are just a few pictures from the last few weeks.  I took about 2 million pictures but blogger won't let me post that many :)

Paris Metro.. definitely not as nice as the London Underground.. London FOR THE WIN!

Me with my crepe and the Eiffel Tower!

We asked a random girl to take our picture.. just to Mat's right behind us is the beautiful glass pyramid in the Louvre courtyard.. clearly not a fantastic photographer but she did her best :)
See the pretty pyramid?

Notre Dame Cathedral

Arc de Triomphe

Mat with his disgustingly meaty frog's legs.. course number two after his snail appetiser. Yuck. French food is not for me!

Now onto Abby's visit!  We did so many touristy things and SO much walking!  The highlight was our absolutely freezing cold trip to Stonehenge. Probably the coldest day of the year and not a tree or building in sight to block the wind.  Needless to say we didn't meander around the rocks.. we practically ran!
Biffles at Stonehenge. That girl would not move out of our picture!

Me and some rocks :)

Harrods all lit up. Apparently it's something like 9000 lightbulbs!

British Museum! Cam and I have a photo in this exact spot from when we came to London in 2007.

It's my dream to go to Easter Island and see all these creepy statues.  Until I win the lottery, I'll have to settle for just seeing this one in the British Museum.

Pretty ceiling :)

Abby's last night in London. Twinkles and British food at Canteen!

I'll post the rest of the pictures on Facebook in the next few days (hopefully)! Also, I've been sitting here watching TV and accidentally watched Made in Chelsea.. I feel like it has made me lose a ton of brain cells.  How are these people famous?  If you're in America, it's similar to Laguna Beach but in Chelsea, the ritzy part of London, and WAY more scripted. 

Righty-o! Off to the gym!
