Star Struck

Dear bloggers:
Okay, so here's the deal.
I met my first famous person...s.

ALL AMERICAN REJECTS!!

Believe it bloggers.
Hayley and I were just sitting there on the train to Amsterdam and this rowdy group of twenty-somethings boarded the train.
About twenty minutes until Amsterdam I started to get suspicious of these boys who I suspected was a band of some sort.
One of the cuter guys was walking by and asked if we were Americans.
"Yes." said we.
"Celebrate it." Said he.

It was in that moment that I realized who he was: Tyson Ritter!
WHAT?!?!?!
I wasn't sure it was him, but I suspected.
On the way out of the train there was a hold up and I asked one of the guys {who is actually named: Nick Wheeler} if they were a band. He said yes and I stupidly stopped there.
But after further investigation we now have proof.

Hayley and I can not believe how star struck we are.
More details when I get back.
Love you guys--Rachel

Vihn

In Germany. W00T

13 days away from my puppy *weeps*
Mom says she waits outside my door in the morning.
Now how sad is that?
I nearly broke down in tears =]

I've done so much I can't write it all.
Been to Paris.
AMZING.
I love it so much.
The Eiffle tower was everything wonderful you've ever heard about it and more!
I felt as if I were on top of the world. And yes, I have been on top of taller structures.
But something about it, the time, the place, the idea made it so much better.
So much more real and romantic...
{Romantic: marked by the imaginative or emotional appeal of what is heroic, adventurous, remote, mysterious, or idealized}

So next favorite: Varseille. I would have be-headed somebody for this paradise too!
The house is gorgeous, but the grounds are truly the prize!
Hayley, Ellaine, Torie, and I had a french picnic there on the lawn.
Wine, cheese, apples, baquette {LOTS of it}, and darkk chocolate dessert.

I had my first frozen Margarita in public. I am so proud.
I like drinking alcohol in public. Yes, yes, I do.
It is freeing and I am not afraid to admit it.
Not the alcohol that's freeing, but the privilage.


Had Spagetti Ice cream here in Germany. It was so strange and GOOD.
It is vanilla ice cream strained to look like spagetti. Topped with strawberry sauce and mounded atop real whipped cream. Oh yeah! And grated white chocolate ontop to look like cheese =]
It was fabulous.
I took a picture so I can show you when I get home.

{Pictures are impossible to load here. Sorry}

Oh. We ate in the ruins of a castle today!
There is a restaurant there.
I had snitzel {sp?}
You know, like snitzel and noodles {the song}
It is a thin slice of meat {most any kind} breaded and fried.
It was devine!
I also had a salad with some sort of yogurt dressing. It was different. Not bad =]

Love you peoples!~
KISS--Rachel

France

Bonjour!
5th day here.
CRAZY

Saw Cassis today with becky and one of the families older woman friend.
It was gorgeous.
the water was so blue!
I saw where i want to live. It was a huge castle in the side of the moutain.
Cassis is close to Marseille.
Very close.


Aeux-En-provence is great. Everyone intimidates me with their inate sense of style.
But America and France have such different shopping and style senses.
Americans: Comfortable, versitaile {sp?}, affordable, lots of it.
French: Few outfits, stylish even if painful, very expensive.

Anyways. Must be off!
Head to paris tomorrow morning!

LOVE LOVE!
Big kiss!
