A post too eclectic to name.

While being in Paris with our parents....well with Anna and Emily's parents, not Sarah's, we girls stayed in Sacre Coeur for the night. Isn't it beautiful?

The view from our window. Not too shabby.

Triumphant once again (at Notre Dame)

Standing on a bench for no apparent reason...this is in front of the Eiffel tower by the way.

Okay, enough of Paris.

We went to see Mozart's Requiem at the cathedral near our apartment. It was wonderful!

Skipped school for a croissant tasting. We all agree that it was the right course of action.

We had score charts and everything. It was serious stuff.

Enough of France. 

Our reactions to arriving in Africa! 

There was an abundance of cool doors and cool people standing next to them.

Looking at Moroccan things. 

 By the way, Michelle was with us. Proof.

Through a garden wall.

More cool doors.

Mordor....get it?

I wish we had more Lord of the Ring jokes for you guys. Sorry.

Marrakesh

View from our hostel rooftop.

Anna's Henna (which was practically forced upon her.)

Looking into our hostel

Looking cool

Looking cooler

Looking coolest.

Cats. Obviously.

World traveler.

The beautiful mosque in Casablanca.

Sarah found a giant pineapple!

Michelle refused to budge without getting a picture by this African novelty. 

Cocktails instead of dinner in Casablanca at Ricks, a true gem of a place.

Just posing with her billboard friends.

Posing with real friends.

We were waiting for a train... taking pictures is what you do. They look gooood!

Michelle looking fly.

Drinking African coffee.

Eating African yogurt "I don't look cool eating yogurt!" 

I beg to differ.

Scarfing down African butter.

Trying not to burn under the hot African sun.

It was saint George's day and the hostel we stayed at gave all the ladies roses. Except Sarah, she took matters into her own hands and swiped one.

Beautiful spices.

Donkeys were around every corner.

Typical Marrakesh. 

This tea is pretty symbolic of our time in Morocco.

In other news, Kelsey is now here with us and eventually she will be incorporated into some pictures and blog posts. 

Switzerland with Michelle and Didier, and France with Ma and Pa.

We took a trip to Switzerland to visit Michelle and Didier and were quite spoiled. We visited several places around their town and we went to Zurich!

We went to a waterfall, as is apparent in above photo. 

Emily and Michelle reunited (and it feels so good)

Anna looking like a supermodel and not even trying (so she says)

The four of us looking not great, but it's the only with all of us. Pity that.

A little town only 5 minutes away from Germany! Cool huh?

There are always an abundance of cool building around these parts.

Just to strengthen the above statement.

Didier giving us a history lesson about Zurich.

Zurich!

"We climbed to the top of Mount Everest" Anna, who is a compulsive liar, told me to put that.

We were really walking up a hill outside of Zurich to get an amazing view of the fog.

Taking in the view of the fog. Lovely.

So pretty!

Swiss folk know how to do playgrounds right. Look at these amazing things!

"I can't believe we're eating rancid yogurt on a train!"

"Mountains Gandalf! I want to see mountains!"

Emily was terrified the whole train ride (those babies go fast!)

Mumsie and Daddy! Aren't they adorable?

We went to Cassis and saw the Mediterranean. When trying to spell Mediterranean and failing the suggestions on spell check were "Pomeranian" and "subterranean"

   

Breathing the sea air.

"A little sea-bathing would set me up forever!"

Triumphant.

All the important members of our family.

(I don't mean that)

Our next post will be about our Parisian adventures.
