Clever Odysseus and his Trojan Horse

The story of the Trojan Horse is definitely one of the most epic wins of all time.  Ever.  Odysseus, being the clever genius that he is, creates the plan to build a giant wooden horse in which all but one member of the Greek army would hide.  That one member delivers the horse to the Trojans as a supposed gift that meant the Greek surrender to the Trojans.  Troy rejoiced immediately, taking the horse into its walls without a second thought.  The citizens and soldiers partied like there was no tomorrow to celebrate their victory over the Greeks, and they all got extremely drunk.  After they passed out, the Greek army springs from the horse and attacks everyone inside the city.  It's a very tragic ending for Troy, but the Greeks definitely ensure their win with that clever move.

Where would I go on my dream journey?  I guess my answer to that would be... um... anywhere?  Basically, my life goal is to visit as many places as I possibly can in my lifetime.  I want to be one of those people who knows seven languages and has been everywhere.  The first place I want to go back to would have to be France.  That country is just so fantastic, I can't even describe to you the amazing time I had when I was last there.  I want to see my friends from there again, especially my exchange student, Lia.  I miss her tons, and I will hopefully get to see her again soon.  The first place that I want to visit that I haven't been to would have to be England, or more specifically, London.  If you know me, then you know that I absolutely adore cities.  London is the one of the biggest cities in the world, and I haven't even been there yet, which just seems crazy to me.  Great Britain in general has produced so many of the things that I love:  Harry Potter, Doctor Who, and I'll leave it at that since this list could go on for a really long time.  It feels like a sin for me not to have visited yet, and I really hope that I can go during college.

Here are some of my favorite memories from my last France trip:

Arriving--Getting off the plane to this was a blessing
