My Favorite Places In Europe!

In June 2016 I had the opportunity to study abroad in Europe! I visited Italy and France! Here are a few places I really enjoyed. 

Capri, Italy

Capri was one of my favorite places that I visited while in Italy. While we were there we went on a boat ride along the Amalfi Coast. During our tour we drove by the Blue Grotto's. The water was unlike any other blue I have ever seen.

Venice, Italy

Although I only visited Venice for less than 24 hours I fell in love with the uniqueness of a city being on water. While we were there we walked around the city and explored. I really enjoyed just walking around instead going to different tourist attractions.

Paris, France

Paris was an absolute dream. My favorite memory was when we were taking a walk late in the evening and I turned the corner to see the Eiffel Tower Sparking as it does on every hour. I stayed outside of the city and really enjoyed feeling more like a local.

    What a great summer trip, Alanna! I have been to Italy many times, including Venice... but never to Capri! It seems like a magical place; some day I would really like to go back just to do that! Maybe you will want to do an Italian or French project for this class. Both countries have wonderful storytelling traditions, and so many famous storytellers. You can see what you think about that when you start brainstorming project topics in Week 2!

    Hi again! Beautiful is all I can say. Those pictures are astonishing and really make me want to visit someday. For me traveling has been limited to within in U.S., but I look forward to the day I am able to visit other countries and learn about their vast histories. Italy has always been on my bucket list, with Venice at the top. I love how it is on the water! Once again, great post!

Introducing Me... Alanna Curry!!

Hello, all! My name is Alanna Curry and I am from Mckinney, TX. This semester I am starting my senior year, which is crazy to me because it seems like just yesterday I was starting my freshmen year at OU! I am majoring in Marketing with hopes to go into sales. This past summer I spent my time interning at the Four Seasons Resort in Dallas. Although, I am not a hospitality major I was interested in the internship because I love interacting with people and like the idea of making someone dreams come true through their stay at the resort. When I have free time ( which is never), I enjoy spending time with my family at the lake, working out, and shopping. During the school year, I work at Orangetheory Fitness in Moore. I love working here because it is a fun atmosphere and it encourages me to work out. My favorite thing about OU is the football! I have grown up an OU fan and always look forward to the hustle and bustle that game day brings. I am really sad that this will be my last year

Week 7 Story

In the town Cabul lived the daughter of an esteemed aristocrat. His daughter Zerah was one of the most beautiful women in the entire city.

She had men trying to court her from cities both near and far. Even when she was in the comfort of her own home she would constantly have men come to her door in attempts to win her heart.

Her father was worried about her safety so he sent two men with her to protect her along her journey. As Zerah began her journey she constantly had to deal with men following her and change her course of travel so they would lose her. As Zerah and her men were trying to lose tra
