Growing up I use to have a thing for Volkswagen Bugs, but as I've matured my taste has too. I'm not a car girl or a holla-dolla-gurl, so it's totally crazy I LOVE these vehicles!
Now, I'm not a girl that sits around and dreams about her wedding...BUT if I were to get married I'd wanna roll out in this:
That's right, a Jaguar. I was driving towards Houston once, and went 90mph to just lust at this beauty.
The other day I was at a stop light when my eye caught sight of this majestic king of the road.
Mr. Rolls Royce...this is as classy as it gets. This experience was my first introduction to the Royce. I've heard of them, but I've never seen one in person...love at first sight indeed!!!!!!!!!!
Lastly, I enjoy my weekly Chrysler sightings. I've been seeing them all over town as of late, and am wishing I could trade in my Honda Accord (whom I love, and named Ms. Car) for one.
Now, if you have any connections to these vehicles (especially Mr. Royce) don't hesitate in letting me know. I don't really wanna own any of these...I just wanna drive around in one every now an then. I'm not weirdly in love with these for dolla reasons, but purely for aesthetic reasons.
Monday through Friday I get an email update about the world around us through, Reuters. One day I was scrolling through when I read that our dear Wyclef Jean is running for president of Haiti. I was rather intrigued and have been doing a little research. After some googling I found his platforms to improve education, help create jobs, instilling security into the culture, and improve agriculture. I also found his blog where he elaborates to Esquire his platforms. (make sure to click the links!!)
I also discovered Mr. President-In-Law on the cover of Esquire talking about Haiti. I'm so intrigued by all this!!
And now...a little President Jean for your enjoyment!
Since I've still got some weeks till school is back I have decided to spend my time trying out Yoga. I've done a few classes in college and I have even tried DVDs, so now I wanted to try hot box yoga. I've seen signs for it and a friend mentioned it, so I thought spending $10 for 10 days of yoga was worth it. I have been to 4 classes and am slowly growing to love love love it! Why? I'm glad you asked.
1. Hot box means it is 90 - 98.6 degrees F w/ 50% - 60% Humidity. I love heat and sweating, so its a win-win! 2. It is super intense, but standing on one leg, whilst holding the other leg, bent over, hopping, and eating with chopsticks makes it a great challenge that actually gets the heart-rate up and your muscles working. 3. I love Sunstone Yoga (where I'm taking classes) because it is diverse. There are young, old, newbies, experts, ranges of ethnicities, and everyone is nice. There is no judgment if you can't do a pose. 4. The instructors are excellent!! 5. It is easy to make yoga buddies!!! I have 2 new friends already. :)
ALSO........................................
Today I was in class when 2 tall men came in and set up in the back. They looked familiar, but I shrugged it off. I kept catching them in the mirror and thinking, "maybe I went to college with them." I also thought one of them dated a friend of mine. I couldn't help but look at them b/c I couldn't figure out how I knew them!! It was driving me nuts.
After class I was talking with a new yoga buddy about her experience with the classes she has taken. She gave me some great advice, and as we were leaving she asked me if I noticed Tony Romo and Jason Witten in the class. I clapped my hands with an "ah ha!!" I knew they looked familiar! These boys may know how to throw a ball, but I think I'm more flexible then them...well at least better than Romo.

I came back Friday afternoon and I think I've beat the jetlag. Except for the fact that I wake up at 6am. With my early rise I thought I would put up some of my favorite pictures from each country. Enjoy!!
France: I met a couple girls from London, and the 3 of us ventured out to the Louvre. Me in front of the Louvre, and another of me inside.
I went to Sacre Coeur many times and enjoyed the beautiful weather, and the live entertainment! This guy is from Italy and he tours different countries playing his music. He was actually really good!
I also ran across the amazing antique perfume bottle shop. I went inside and they had new bottles and a ton of kitschy bottles. There were bottles shaped like bow ties, light bulbs, and the fancy kind with the big puff on the end.
Kenya: I love Mombasa for the gorgeous sight!
This is a tuke-tuke, one of the ways people get around the city if they don't have a car. Another way is a Matatu which is a taxi van that goes around the city.
The best part of being in Mombasa was meeting new friends! Jackie was the only person I knew, but I spent my 2 weeks meeting new people, and here are a couple of them! My last night there the 4 of us went down to the ocean and hung out. It was a fun last night. :)
London: I spent a lot of time with family which was excellent, but I also spent some time wandering London. One day I went to the Tate Modern Museum and enjoyed some great modern art!
Another day I went to a different part of London and spent the day going to different gardens eating lunch and reading. Between gardens little treasures were uncovered...like BUCKINGHAM PALACE!!
There were many other little treasures, but those were some of the highlights. Thanks for following me on my journey!! I'm already planning my next trip. :)
That's right, a Jaguar. I was driving towards Houston once, and went 90mph to just lust at this beauty.
