Julie, Eve, Mary Beth, Becca, and Danielle in front of the beautiful gardens in the Alcazar palace in Córdoba 

Hanging out in Córdoba before our visit of the Mezquita(mosque) there that was incredible! Built in the 8th century and still preserved beautifully... 

PARIS, France!! (Nov. 4-7)

Bonjour! Well the traveling to and from Paris was a huge pain in the butt but actually being there was absolutely incredible so we will just focus on that aspect of the trip! The whole reason we went this weekend was to surprise our friend Lindley from Wake for her 20th birthday on Nov. 5th! We surprised her in the hotel and there were tears of joy, so a definite success! There were 10 girls there, 8 from Wake Forest--phew! We saw all the big sights and all fell in love with the Eiffel Tower! We split up at times to each see what we wanted to see and all had an amazing time! We love you Lindley!

Amber in front of her favorite painting by Claude Monet in the Museo Dorsay!  

Lindsay and Kelly in front of the Arc de Triompe with the gorgeous sunset behind them! 

Mona Lisa!! Kelly took an illegal photo of the Mona Lisa in the Louvre with tons of annoying other tourists blocking her view...how rude. 

We started to get in line to see the tower at about 4:30, so we got to see it all during the daylight and then by then time we were back on the ground it was night time and we got to see it all lit up also! Here's Lindsay doing the pose, we all did at least once! (haha at least an hour of photography) 

The Spanish girls pointing toward Madrid at the top of the Eiffel Tower! They had little markers to show the distance to all major cities from the very top of the incredible tower! 

Kelly under the Eiffel... 

French crepes under the Eiffel Tower! 

Katie worn out after walking around all day...haha she said she would just wait while we went inside a building to explore and we came back to find her like this... 

Kelly and Lindley in front of Notre Dame--so happy to be reunited for the big bday weekend! 

Super photography skills right here...Notre Dame and some roses. 

All 10 of us in front of Notre Dame on Saturday morning!
