That'll do Pig
After a few hours of walking around the high end shops of Union Square and walking away with an $80 pair of Levis from the Levi store, we headed up the street through China town. Our destination was Little Italy but first we had to make it through the over crowded, stinky, smokey, gift shops full of useless junk streets of China town. One thing I did see that was a little silly and maybe worth ten bucks were these cute little ceramic sleepy piggies. I figured it was worth a few bones and a good laugh so we went into the shop to check em out. Turns out these little gems are really worth no less than $120! As you can imagine we passed on the pigs and kept on trekking for the dry salami and parmigiano in little italy. Sheesh is it windy here! My cheeks look like cherries and are already wind burned after only a few hours, clear skies though :)

Dinner Time!
Walking down cannery row we stopped to have dinner at the Chart House. It's right on the water and is very "luxe" on the inside, cant wait to eat I am starving. We spent the last two hours walking down cannery row looking at the cute little gift shops, but once it started raining we chose to hide in Sly McFly's for a beer and some shelter from the rain! Dinner time, prime rib here I come! :D
Oh ... "This is your Christmas Present"

San Francisco or Bust
Alright so Im not in Europe anymore but I am traveling still. I finished out my last semester of school (yeay graduation!) and worked for a bit but now I have a week off to spend traveling the central coast! Spent the last four days in Lompoc for Christmas with my parents and left early this morning for Monterey, a pit stop on our way to the City. But first we needed breakfast so we stopped in SLO at Gus'S Grocery for a sandwich and a drink! Yummy! i have only eaten here a handful of times with my sister who worked there all through college. Perfect snack for the two hour drive up to Monterey where we're gonna spend some time at the beach, shopping, and maybe visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium, haven't been there since I was a youngin'! We are staying the night in Salinas and leaving early tomorrow for the big City!!

Paella
Authentic Spanish cuisine with muscles, clams, shrimp and fish cooked into it, it might have been one of the yummiest dishes I have had on this trip! We were only in the French Riviera for a day and a quarter so time was spent laying on the beach where most of the women were topless, old or young didnt matter. Then we took a nine hour bus ride, which I got a broken seat that reclined ALL the way back like laying down position to Spain. The hotel here in Barcelona is actually a full service hotel with a pool, REAL breakfast with an omlet bar, and a full size tub! Of course they would give us the nice hotel on our last two nights here! We went shopping and hit the beach of course which was packed and had even more topless women!! Not shy here at all obviously. The sand at the beaches here though are very dirty, they have small flat flakes of black which stick right to your skin. Even in the shower scrubbing myself I couldnt get it all off. But the city is absolutely beautiful, the scenery is so green and palm trees everywhere. Palm trees are one of their symbols here but a plague has hit their palm trees killing most of them.
We also visited the super huge fancy park designed by Gaudi where we took a mini photo shoot in the stone tunnel where an episode of Americas Next Top Model was filmed!!! So cool. He was an architect who at the time people thought was crazy, but of course now that he is dead he is very famous and said to be a genius. The park has frosted buildings which resemble Hansel nd Gretel candy houses and animal shaped canals, so cool! Now we are about to catch the tram to our farewell dinner, sad to say bye to all these people, like moving out of the dorms and moving back home but soo ready to get back to my life in California with free refills, free water, A/C, screen doors, homemade meals, and clean free public bathrooms. I love Europe but I am definitely a California girl!

Transfer Via TGV
I'm too tired to blog right now. But long story short we yesterday we went to La Louvre museum, checked out Mona Lisa, went to Luxembourg Gardens, shopped on the streets of Paris, caught a metro to the Eiffel tower for picnic and champagne in the park to watch it glitter, saw an old man get caught in metro doors, saw his life flash before his eyes, waited two hours for a taxi cab back to the hotel, packed my bag, hit the hay, and now we are sitting at the train station waiting for our high speed train to drop us off in the French Riviera. Beach time highly needed <3
