   I’m starting a new series on the meals I enjoyed in Europe over the summer. While in London my friends introduced me to a chill, Spanish restaurant in Bloomsbury. The main course (Super Nachos) was very good but it was actually the appetizer that stood out to me. I glanced…

3. Barcelona: Arc de Triomf

4. Barcelona: Via Laietana

   September 8, 2017
   The Gothic Quarter or Barri Gòtic was probably my favorite location in Barcelona.

   My last night in Paris was especially memorable because I spent it with new friends. We walked around a while before discovering several groups of people enjoying music and wine near the water. I think it was near La Seine. I brought my iPad because my friend, Will wanted to…

9. Basilica of The Sacred Heart of Paris

   August 19, 2017
   My adventure in Paris felt like a dream and I think that sentiment came through in the paintings I made there. After the painting of Square Louise Michel was finished I walked up the hill and found a series of staircases leading to the incredible Basilica of The Sacred Heart…

10. Paris: Square Louise Michel

    I wanted to squeeze in as many tourist spots as possible during my stay in Paris. Part of my time in France would be spent in Avignon so it was important to make everything count. After visiting The Louvre, Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe I made my way to…
