So this is it... My last full day in Europe. Germany was amazing. We were in a small town that was very relaxing to be in. We're in Amsterdam now and tomorrow back to the US of A! I'm sad to leave here but I'm really REALLY looking forward to seeing everyone. So far today we went to the Anne Frank museum. It was a surreal feeling being there. To see how they had to live in hiding was crazy. Later today we're going to go to the Van Gough museum! Then tonight we have our "last supper".... Four people are [View Full Entry]

oh yeah...

 Europe » Czech Republic » North » Prague
I forgot to tell you about the money here. Its so weird I'm used to the pound and the euro and that whole exchange rate crap but this place is messed up. Kroners is their money. The exchange rate isnt bad but I took out 800K yesterday but that's only like 60 US dollars.... its SO wierd. WE're like we're using monopoly money right now... it just seems fake. I don't know I thought that was interesting fact for you all to ponder... Okay so I'm going now.... [View Full Entry]

So I only have five days left! Its so hard to believe that I've been away for two monthes already! Prague is quite different from all the other places we've been sofar. I like it here(not as much as Itlay of course!). Yesterday we had a walking tour and then some of us went to the communist museum and it was really eye opening. I'll have to show you guys the pictures from there because I can't really explain it very well. Also Three of us went to the Jewish quater yesterday and saw the 80000 names of the victims from [View Full Entry]

WEll everyone I'm leaving Oxford tomorrow...sad! I just finished writing 7 essays in 3 and half hours. It was ridiculous! My hand is cramped up pretty bad but I thought I'd write one more time to say bye-bye! LIke I said before I'll try to get to computers when I'm on the continent but who knows how often it'll be. We have our farewell supper tonight. But I must go and finish packing! LOVE YOU ALL! Peace, Love and Happiness! [View Full Entry]

Sorry it's been so long since I've written. I've just been so busy and seeing as I only have 2 more full days left here in Oxford I feel like I still need to do SO much! I'm not really looking forward to leaving here because I've come to just love Oxford and it feels like a second hometown! WE've made some British friends here that it will be sad to say good-bye to. Also we'll be leaving the BSU group as well. We both go on tour, but we go to different cities. I've met a lot of great people [View Full Entry]

Sorry it's been so long since I've blogged but I've been SUPER busy! Saturday we had another fieldtrip. This time we went to Bath. It's so beautiful there. It's where the Roman baths are. We went into that building and saw all the ruins. I have lots of pictures so I'll have to show them to you and describe what's going on in them. I really enjoyed that site a lot more than Stonehenge. The city itself was really busy and filled with shops, people, and shows. We saw a man in a pink leotard and tutu on a unicycle juggling [View Full Entry]

Crisps....

 Europe » United Kingdom » England » Oxfordshire » Oxford
So today let me tell you about crisps which if you don't know are what we call potato chips back in the states. Well here there are the MOST unquie flavors imagined. My personal favorite is the roasted chicken because it tastes like chicken and its mmm good. But there are various flavors like smoked bacon, sweet thai chili, and cocktail prawns! BA! It's kind of rediculous. Also my favorite midnight snack here are called kebabs. THEY'RE SO GOOD! It's like a grilled chicken on a pita with lettuce and you can put sauces on it. My personal favorite is the [View Full Entry]
