sorry it's been so long...

As you can tell its been a while since my last entry. I've been swept up with preparing for the April break and now enjoying the April break. I'll recap what I've been doing in the last couple of weeks:

May 29 I stayed with Katie in London where we toured the city in true Palumbo fashion. With my map of the tube and city, thanks Aunt Sue, and Katie's London guide we saw everything there was to see in fast forward! My favorite of these sites was the Tower of London! I'll enumerate the rest since we saw a lot: a London musical, Dicken's house, the Tower Bridge, Big Ben, the London Eye, Buckingham Palace, The London Dungeons, the British Museum. In short we walked from one end of the city seeing as much as we could in two days time.

Next we were off to Paris, France. Unfortunately the trip over resulted in the absence of my debit card. Note to all those looking to change banks HSBC is the worst bank to invest in. Every day in France I spent at least two hours on the phone with my bank trying to solve what I thought was resolved the day before. Despite this mishap Paris was wonderful. The city, the food, the language and the people are all beutiful. Katie and I saw it all: the Palace of Versaille, Notre Dame, the Louve, the Arc de Truimph, the Eliffel Tower. We were shocked by the Mona Lisa, and in awe of the Palace of Versaille. In edition the food in Paris was the most devine thing I've taasted in months.

Katie left and I was off to Kassel, Germany to visit my friend Tanja. As it turns out Kassel was the birth place of the Grimms brothers! I pleasently suprised to fall in love with Germany. But I'll have to write later since I'm now in Scotland and fiona wants to go walking!

TaTa for Now! (as Tiger would say)
