We spent the day in Ventimiglia Italy. The day was amazing even though it was a Sunday and almost everything was closed. I chose this picture for my blog because it brings about so many questions for me. This bag was laying at the train station by a trash can. I’m assuming the worst case scenario in that someone was either pick pocketed or something along those lines. But for real WTF... Someone made the comment that it was probably peed on. Maybe who knows...But worse, what if the owner of this bag is looking for it or if there is sensitive info in it. It felt completely wrong to me to leave it, but it also felt wrong to pick it up. I’m not in America and can’t just call the people up. However, I’m not sure taking it to the police is the right answer either. I’ve been told that people usually go looking for their belongings. This situation definitely makes me more aware of my surroundings and will hold onto my bag that much tighter.

June 2, 2019 Today after breakfast, Lane, Ben and I went back to the Arc De Triomphe to do some shopping. I was excited to find my favorite puff pastries from Odette again. Those things are so delicious. While I didn’t find much on my shopping trip, I did find a new mug to add to my collection from Starbucks. I love that Starbucks has been a huge part of the trip for me. I would venture to say that this has been my one comfort from home that I was glad I could have. I was also excited to try the different foods at different Starbucks in different countries. I feel like the ones in America need to up their game.

June 3, 2019 Today was a day for last minute errands and shopping. We went back to the Latin Quarter. I could spend an entire week there and still feel like it wasn’t long enough. This picture is in a garden next to Shakespeare and Company. I love all the flowers I keep seeing. I think when I get home, I’m going to have a picture album made of the trip and have some of the pictures put onto canvas. This really has been an amazing trip and I’m already looking forward to my next trip back.

June 4, 2019 The experiences at both Charles De Gaulle and Detroit airports today has to be some of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever experienced. I was made to check my carry-on bag and was quoted one price but charged a different. Not only that, I had to stand in line again for 2 hours to pay for the bag. Staff was constantly cutting the line making my wait longer. I can appreciate the fact that security screenings are important and don’t mind having to do them. As I went to get on board, my boarding pass would not scan. The only thing said to me in English was to step aside, everything else was in French. We basically played charades to figure out what they needed me to do. I managed to have to empty my bags and get frisked. When we arrived back in Detroit, it was the same thing all over. They said I had “suspicious” areas on my body. I can understand my leg as it was swollen, but the lady even frisked it with my pant leg up. I also had my bags searched again because I forg...
