4:57am London time.
So it seems we haven’t travel blogged in a while. Our sincerest apologies! Know that we didn’t morph into ignorant snobbies who are too cool to blog, it actually means our trip escalated in awesomeness in the time since. Instead the spare seconds have been dedicated to a very top secret quest (but for fear of losing sanity we cannot disclose such top secret information to which the...

The Most Romantic City in the World...
…with mah two best friends!!!
We arrived yesterday in Paris after saying hasta le way go [I sounded that one out] to Barcelona [highlights of Barcelona: paella, SHOPPING, slowing getting more and more delirious, La Rambla and its crazy animals and people, nightlife, watching the sunrise on the beach, Aubrinas encounter with the fourth ancient androgeni]
So far Paris is tres bien!
Mission...
Go Shawty, it's ma birthday!
So all in all, my 21st birthday was a success.
EXCEPT FOR:
I don’t like androgenous people coming on to me. I don’t care if I’m looking at the Mediterranean at night. You will never be attractive to me.
My friends LEAVING ME WITH THE ANDROGENI.
Other than that, it was a great night! Pictures up on facebook!!!!

Barcelona!
So yesterday was supposed to be the Barcelona party of the century because it was the summer solstice! It’s called San Juan something…so anyway we decided to go because it was a huge beachparty. Here are the results with a few random highlights….
Jasel is spooked more than a dog when it comes to firecrackers “WATCH HIM HE HAS A BAG!!!!!!!!!! HE’S GRINNING I’M...
Learning Spanish the Reyes way
Jasel bought a Spanish English phrase book for us today after we realized that we do not know any Spanish. It has nice phrases such as… “no, bring me the pudding” “I would like to order the Normandy Sole” “to save him from possible danger from bulls onslaught?” “not this model. I would like it in minature.” “There are no...
Te Amo!
So far I love Barcelona!
The city has a really good vibe to it, even if the metro makes you sweat like you just did a triathlon. The symbols are also very helpful.
“The croissant! We’re taking the croissant train!”
Language wise, we’re doing much worse than Italy, which is surprising because we knew absolutely no Italian. We’ve been wishing everyone a buenos noches...
Happy Father's Day Daddy!
Happy Father’s Day Pops!!! My phone is dead and I tried calling collect but the phone kept disconnecting! AND the pay phone at the hostel doesn’t work!!! Love you and I’ll find somewhere to charge my phone and call tomorrow. Love you Pops!!
PepsiCola, Aubrina Coots!!!
Bonjour, comment ca va?
So I realize I’m really slacking in the blogging department so here’s one to make up for it….
Nice is nice, but there’s dog poo on the streets! Everywhere!
I miss Rome and Italy in general!!!!!
I try and adopt pets around my hostel to fill the void that not being around Missy has left in my heart.
My english is deteriorating…
I miss our home in Dublin!

Mais Oui Mon Cherie
Some notes about Nice…
*The grandmas here are bad ass, ie. tanning topless on the beach while chain smoking and rubbing actual cooking oil on themselves, not that I was looking…
*Speedos are the norm here for guys
* Missing the last night tram is not a good idea, an hour long walk through deserted Nice streets might be safe but I cant feel my legs
* Everyone clubbing seems to be...
JASEL MA BELLE! ROSIE MA CHERE!
HAHA well, you think you know your two best friends until you spend every day with them.
Things I have learned about Jasel:
-She is like a wild animal after red wine…”Lock the door so Jasel can’t escape!!!”
-Jasel has great French. “JE NE PARLE PAS L’ANGLAIS. JE SUIS FRANCAISE!!!!!!!!!!”
Things I have learned about Rosemary:
-She thinks the the main...
Nice is Nice (hey pun master)
What are friends for Madame Reyes? A bottle of wine here is 4 euros so the favour might have to be re-paid soon.
*Je ne parlez pas l’anglais, Blondie!*.
Things I recently learned about Jasel: When drunk in France she becomes French.
Soo, ici, we are in Nice! We arrived yesterday after three days in Riomaggiore in Cinque Terre, Italy. It was a really, really beautiful small town on the...
1 euro beers + the rey = gong show
You know you have bestfriends when they don’t let you sleep in your own puke pile.
Bri & Rosie, I owe you BIG.
I love you always forever, Jasel
Three magical days for three Rome mice.
Ah unfortunately the USB port isn’t working so I can’t post any sweet photos, but onwards with the update… Today started at 3pm. Our asian brother housekeeper (we’ll call him “Giuseppe”) came to change the garbage in our washroom and woke us all up from our 11-hour slumber. I’m not sure what it is but we’ve been sleeping like koala bears...
Roma!!
So we had our first full day in Rome today, and it is exellent!! Our hostel is really nice, we got a bottle of wine at check in (oop), and our room is so cute, its more like a little apartment building than a hostel. Today we went to the Vatican (or a big church around the Vatican…I forget what its called Bri or Jasel can say haha. FYI its so nice and hot here!! I loves it, especially after...
I Don't Know Any Italian!!!
