This one is for the Ladies

July 31, 2007

So, Alina and I got internet at our house!!!! Yeah!!!!! And now I can devote countless hours looking up things on the world wide web. One of the first things I found in my search was this lovely video. If you love North and South or Richard Armitage, you will enjoy this. The woman who [...]

Size 11

July 27, 2007

If you know me at all, then you know I love shoes. Yesterday I was wandering around Payless Shoes (I don’t know how I even got there) and I saw these two pairs of shoes that I just had to have. One is a cute little patten red leather flat (ballerina type) while the other [...]

Two of the coolest things I have done

July 25, 2007

While I was in Austria I got to be a little bit adventurous and did the two coolest things I have ever done. I went tandem paragliding and I went white water rafting in arctic cold water. First – I literally ran off the side of a mountain, aka paragliding. They set out the parachute [...]

Cappucine Monks

July 21, 2007

WARNING!!!! This post is not for the faint of heart and it does contain some graphic images.      One of the oddest things I saw while I was in Europe was the Cappucine Monks. The bones in the six-room crypt represent over 4,000 individual monks. It is said monks fled the French Revolution (1793-94) [...]

Australian – a foreign language?

July 18, 2007

Now, when I went to Europe I was expecting to learn and encounter new languages such as French, German, Czech, and Italian, but I wasn’t expecting to learn a whole new language such as Australian. Yes, I went on tour with 46 Australians and I don’t think I understood half of what they said. So [...]

Things I love about Europe!

July 18, 2007

I can eat the bread and not get sick! I really liked the European Union for two reasons: Crossing the boarders was easy. No need to wait in long lines and answer questions from passport control officials. I didn’t have to exchange money in every country. The public transporation systems are amazing! Gelato! Austria and [...]

Things I love about the US

July 18, 2007

Now, I don’t want anyone to think I don’t love Europe, but these were the things I missed while abroad. You don’t have to pay for the privilege to pee. I think I paid to use the bathroom every time, except four. I learned how to hold it and wait for the next stop. You [...]

Perfect Paris

July 18, 2007

Before I talk about Paris . . . We went to Switzerland (or the real name of the country is Confederate Helvitica) and went up to the highest observation in the world – over 11,500 feet. Whew! Have you heard of altitude sickness, yeah I got a little bit of that, but it was still [...]

Italia!

July 10, 2007

Bonjiorno! I have spent the last little while in Italy. We stayed two nights in Venicia. I just love Venice. I was so excited because we took a ferry ride over to Venice. Instead of checking off our to do lists, Melissa and I got lost and wandered all over Venice. We got far enough [...]

Prague and Austria

July 5, 2007

Here is a little update. Sorry, no pictures again. I can’t even find the USB port or the hard drive. Oh well. . . . Prague to me is like a larger Las Vegas. Okay, so you have old buildings, instead of mega casino’s, but . . . There are way too many overpriced shops [...]

Beautiful Berlin

July 1, 2007

So, I can not upload pictures or figure out where half of the important keys are on this German keyboard, but oh well. I am leaving Berlin tomorrow. This has been my favorite place so far. I absolutely love Berlin. I am sad to go because we have onlz really searched one area. Berlin is [...]
