Antibes, France



During the Weekend a few girls from my language program and I took an excursion trip outside of Nice. We took the French train called the SNCF to Antibes, France which is a charming beach town located on the French Riviera. Upon arriving we headed directly to the open air market where we tried a wide array of delicious samples. For instance, I really hate Olives but whatever I tried that day was more than just tolerable...but amazing. I guess the French really know what they are doing when it comes to food. After stuffing my face with jams I never knew existed and the chickpea pancake called 'Socca' we headed to an Absinthe bar-you know that green drink that is associated with a fairy? I thought the whole procedure of making the drink was nicer than the taste itself hehhe. After getting a 2pm buzz we headed over to eat Antibes' best ice cream along the dock then went swimming and sunbathing for the rest of the day. Antibes was absolutely parfaite and I would totally visit again!

Santa Catalina Island

Spent the day on Catalina Island for my mom's birthday. Despite the foggy weather we had loads of fun! Here's the proof :)

Go-karts are the main sources of transportation on the island 
The lady in Neon was such a sweetheart and totally brightened up our day!
Bottom glass tour was amazing! Life in the ocean is like a whole other world.
Yumm, fish and shrimp with chips!
Thanks for the relaxing weekend Catalina!
