Last weekend, a bunch of us headed up to Nice, France for the weekend. We planned the trip very last minute (the night before we left) so we were a little leary of the reservations and the hostel we booked. Fortunately, the hostel(Hotel Baccarat) was very nice! Almost nicer than some of the hotels I stayed in with my parents the first week(which isnt saying much in once case)! And by coincidence, there was a large group of Georgia Tech engineering students staying at the hostel at the same time. It was really nice to meet people who live so nearby to home! One of them even graduated from the same highschool and same year as my friend Kristen! Small world! While in Nice, we did not really see any big sights(lack of planning), but we shopped around(very good shopping in Nice, but I didnt buy anything) , went to the beach, and had some good dinners. The first night I got some pasta dish with shrimp in it. This was leaving my comfort zone.. I dont usually like seafood. The dish came out and the shrimp still had their whole bodies entact. At first I was a little disgusted, however it ended up tasting great! Who would have known. Dinner the next night was really good as well. It was a pizza and bread dish- I dont really know how else to describe it.. but it was good. Sunday morning we planned on going to Monaco on the way home, but it was pouring down rain so we ended up staying on the train back to Genoa. This weekend ended up being a good break from the busy schedule we have had in Genoa! It was really nice to arrive back in Genoa... it is already starting to feel like home. This Friday we leave for our first week long trip to Vienna, Venice, and Verona!
