Nice, France: First Visit to the French Riviera!

This past Friday, January 21, a few of us were ready to GET OUT of the city. Big time. School was being.. well, school, and Paris was being... well, Paris. So we decided to go spend the night in Nice, France! We all had a lot of work to get done so we decided one night was probably for the best.

It was B-E-A-Utiful!


ooooo pretty!


I loved seeing the Mediterranean Sea (my first time.. yay!) and being on the beach.. even though it was covered in rocks... weird.


castle hill in the background


christy and I!


It was kind of cold.. so that part was lame. But it was still so pretty!!! We just kinda walked around... climbed up the hill thats in the background of those pictures... so. many. steps.


stairs we climbed up!


view from the hill.. i love this picture for some reason


more views..


andddd a sunset


We also walked around the old town, which was really pretty. It had all these fun colored buildings which reminded me so much of my mom! She loves beach houses like that..


yay :)


We also went to the Marc Chagall museum which was pretty cool (but on top of another hill..)




and explored the city some more...


random city shots





So Nice was really.. Nice! (had to do it.) I have way more pictures on facebook too if you want to check those out!

In other news.. it is exactly ONE MONTH till my bf comes to visit me! I'm so excited! And I'm also excited for the next month in general.. here is my travel schedule: 

jan 28-feb. 1: florence/pisa
feb. 2-6: athens, greece
feb 10-12: dublin
feb. 18-20: london
feb. 24/25: jay comes.. barcelona 25-27

so. excited. I realized I don't really get much done when I stay here in Paris for the weekends.. so I'm just going to travel as much as I possibly can! (Big shout out to Nance and Bruce for making this all possible .. LOVE YOU!)

Thats all for now! Miss and Love you all!
