Ok here are the albums I have posted so far. I am doing it in the order of my trip, and each album is a different place... PLEASE BE ADVISED, my pictures do involve some drinking and a red light district here and there...
I am back in Rome! I literally had such an amazing time on Spring break. It is hard to believe that I traveled to so many places and had so many amazing memories. I dont really remember what I wrote about so far, I think I left off in Berlin. So, I will basically some up the rest of my trip, which will be slightly hard, considering that I am writing on this little online journal. I am also in the process of posting some of my pictures, and it definitely wont be all of them, so when I get home, you will have to ask me to see the rest of them.
Hello! I am sitting in an internet cafe in Salzburg. There is so much to tell and so little time. I just wanted to say hi and tell you that I am having grand adventures! I saw amazing castles and towns. But, now I am tired. And it is my last few days on break, so when I get back I will tell you all about it! much love!
So I am leaving Berlin, which I am ok about and heading to Prague. At this momeny mindy is searching for the girl that is supposedly traveling with us, but has disappeared for two days. The girls phone is not working and she is not answering our messages. I wanted to leave her, but mindy went to go find her. whatever. i am excited about going to Prague because I get to see ahuva! and I am excited to see all the synagogues and such. Berlin is definitely not my place.
For some reason I am in Berlin. The first day here I was extremely tired from spending the night in the airport....I am only bringing that up again becaused it sucked. But, I am over it. The next day we went on a tour of the city. I didn't really like it because every place they showed us would be like "Oh, and there is where Hitler shot himself, now it is a parking lot"..."This is where this building was, but it was bombed". So, basically the city was bombed, and no one would ever know unless some guide told you about it. At night I went on a pub crawl, which was cool because I met lots of people from all over. Today, I explored on my own to this castle town and saw a couple of palaces, which was exciting, but I didn't really see any old German Castles that I wanted to see, it was really hard to get around the town.
So, I am going to do this in two parts, because I haven't had a computer in quite sometime, so I have a lot to talk about. Basically I am in love with Amsterdam. It was really a unique city. When I arrived, I had an adventure of finding a hostel, because somehow we didn't have on booked. That was an adventure. We finally found a place, right before the red light district. We had to bring our suitcases all the way up these really windy, small staircases, which was possibly the worst experience ever, but we made it up to our little room of three beds. Then we went to Anne Franks house, which was very moving. It was incredible to actually see the bookcase and place she and her family lived, but I kind of wish they hadn't ruined the facade of the house and taken all the objects inside of the house.
Hi from France! I am in Paris for four nights, which is absolutely incredible. At first I was a little skeptical...but today was really exciting. I am traveling with my friends Mindy and Daniela. I am staying in little hotel with Mindy, we are sharing a little bed. But, it is really cute. Today we went to the Lourve, which was fabulous, yet overwhelming. I saw the Mona Lisa, which was very exciting! After that, I went to see the Notre Dame, although we didn't go inside. Then we walked around and went out for dinner. It was really crazy. The food here is soooo amazing, yet quite fatty. Today I had an Omlette, crepe, and for dinner we had fondue. Fondue was interesting. There was basically a shit load of cheese. THe waiter decided I was his girl friend, and escorted me when I got up to go to the bathroom, he didn't come with me of course. It was really odd. Also, when we left the restaurant the host followed us out of the restaurant and hugged us and gave us kisses on the cheek, it was funny yet bizarre at the same time. After dinner we went to the Moulin Rouge to check out the lights. Paris is definitely a unique place. Overall, I would have to say the guys are a lot more aggressive than the ones in Roma. But, it is fun. I am excited for what is to come!
I realize I have been MIA...but I just wanted to do a quick little update. Tomorrow I am leaving for my spring break! AND I AM SOOOOO EXCITED (slash a little nervous)! I literally cannot even explain how incredible it is going to be to go to so many places I have never been before. I am leaving for Paris tomorrow, and then I am going to Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, and Austria. It was crazy how mindy and I planned this all on our own. And we are staying in hotels/hostels...and it is going to be so exciting! so i am once again trying to back as light, as possible...which is always a struggle. but, anyway...hopefully I will be able to give you little updates on my trip, I know mindy is bringing her computer, and there will probably be internet cafes. so send me lots of emails, and I shall send you a postcard! If i haven't sent you a postcard yet, it is because I dont have your address so email it to me! xoxoxooxoxox
