Transportation and I -

don't really seem to mix.. haha. I was planning on giving everyone beautiful photos from my trip to France today, however I went to the wrong bus station this morning and missed the ONE bus they offer to Biarritz. Instead we went to San Sebastian and it was wonderful ,however I have taken a photo of almost every part of San Sebastian that is possible, and therefore there was nothing to show you. :( However, Good News is that we know the CORRECT bus station now (hopefully) and will be going instead tomorrow. I think it makes for a fantastic weekend! Grey's Anatomy cryfest Friday night, San Sebastian Saturday, and France on Sunday! I'll take it I guess ;)

Let me tell you a story- Today on the bus I realized exactly why Europeans get a disgusting taste in their mouth when they think of Americans. While on the bus to San Sebastian, I heard this girl talking to another girl. She was saying she was from New York and lived about 3 hours outside of the city. The other girl, (not sure where she was from, but she was definitely from Europe) asked the American girl about 9-11. Her answer ( I kid you not) "Well, like, it didn't really affect me. I mean, like I didn't have any family or friends there, so I don't know. I mean, I guess it was a big deal, but it didn't really affect me. I guess it like brought our country closer together and stuff, but I mean, I don't know."

After this, I kinda had to stop listening because it made me s
o angry! How could you say that something that historical, that TRAGIC, that TERRIBLE didn't affect you because you didn't know anyone in it? NEITHER did I dumb girl, but if something that huge didn't affect you, then you need to go get a heart transplant because something is terribly wrong with yours! I can no longer blame Europeans for thinking ill of many Americans. This is not the only case of stupidity I have witnessed, but it is by far one of the worst.

Anyways, just had to rant. Hope all is going well! I will close with a couple of random pics! This is probably one of my Favorite photos! It represents all that I love to do, dance, sing, and spend time with my friends!
