Cynthia's Adventures: an ultra-compact story of my europe trip in pictures

so, I was sort of bored, and getting sad about my trip being over (and missing people), so I thought I would post up some pictures here since it is taking me a while to do the full travelogue on my other site (don't worry, it will be finished in a couple weeks, I promise). So, here is a brief view of my trip through some of the pictures that I took (I have over 700 to choose from, so this is a really condensed view of everything).

the Eiffel Tower at sunset. aahhh.

a view of it the next morning, right before we took the stairs up to the second stage (we took an elevator to the very top from there). my advice: wait in line - don't walk up. it sucked.

the Notre Dame cathedral was really cool. especially since it started to rain as we got there. luckily it stopped when we came out. good timing, huh?

the view from my room where we stayed in the French countryside (no, i'm not kidding. this is what i saw when i woke up).

overlooking Monte Carlo (I only lost about $5 at the casino the night before - at least I didn't pay $6 for a coke like some other people did)

in front of the Colloseum. it was sooo hot that day. almost as hot as it is here in Arizona.

at the Trevi Fountain in Rome. yes, i threw all three coins in (one for good luck, one to ensure your return to rome, and one so that you'll fall in love).
