EUROPE- AN 2000
Of all the places I’ve been the most memorable experience is definitely my trip to Europe in 2000. After my undergrad I decided to take a year to figure out what I wanted to do, and the one thing I knew for sure was that I wanted to go back to France (having not been back in 8 years) and so, out of the blue, with only 3 weeks to prepare, I decided to go. I can’t remember everything that happened although I did keep a diary (and it took me just under 2 years to get my photos developed- shocking, I know!). But here are some of my favorite places that I went, and some of the people I caught up with and met while I was there… (following the actual sequence of my trip)
Comme vous le savez, je suis allée en Europe en juin-août 2000 pour visiter un peu et revoir des amis que je n'a’ais pas revus depuis au moins 1992. C’était génial de vous revoir et de passer du temps ensemble, et, je sais que j’ai pris du temps à faire développer mes photos alors j’espère que vous les aimez… =)

My Musical Adventures
OK, so by now everyone probably already knows what a massive Something for Kate (SFK) fan I am, and, to prove it, I’ve seen them perform/met them 9 times since Homebake 2000. I have managed to make a complete fool of myself in front of them though… but it’s all good! I also have ‘Beautiful Sharks’ & ‘Echolalia’ on vinyl which I’m very proud about (even though we don’t even have a record player anymore…!) and of course, ‘action man paul’ doll (made from an ‘action man’ figure) because Darryl didn’t know what to get me for my birthday!
