Australian – a foreign language? Part II

August 9, 2007

So, a few weeks ago, I posted some new words I learned in Australia (click here to see original post). I wanted more people to comment and guess at what the words meant, but Mandy was the only one who commented. So, thank you Mandy. Here are the definitions: sunnies – Sunglasses How you go? [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

40 miles in 4 days

June 29, 2007

So, I have kept a pedometer on me (I know, geeky. But . . . ) and I have walked about 40 miles in my first four days of Europe. I spent the second day in England, in Cambridge. We walked all over, took a canal cruise, and I ate at a vegitarian place. Not [...]

First Day in London

June 26, 2007

Here are some pictures from my first day! For you Harry Potter Fans, I don’t need to explain this. Feeding the pigeons at Trafalgar Square. Have you seen Mary Poppins? “Feed the birds, feed the birds.” It was really cool, but scary, as well. But pigeons are the dirtiest birds in the world. Westminster Abbey [...]
