Les Vacances du Printemps (Spring Break!)
During one of my two weeks off from classes, I traveled with my good friends Allie, Paymon, and Kendall to three great cities (Berlin, Prague and Vienna). The weather was perfect, hostels were fun, and the sights were beautiful. C'etait parfait!

First stop: Berlin


Our walking tour tour guide (Sam) was so great! He knew all of Berlin's interesting history. Also didn't hurt that he was hilarious and had an adorable British accent. We missed him for the rest of the trip.

Second stop: Prague

Absinthe! Totally legal and they lit it on FIRE!

Lennon Wall


Can't really see much in this picture, but one of my favorite bands, Belle & Sebastian, was playing in Prague while we were there. So lucky we got tickets! 

Third (and last) Stop: Vienna





Habsburg Palace


Vienna has the prettiest gardens

Cute cafe with great coffee and desserts and a piano player (mom, you would love this place)



Home sweet home!
