Anyway we've been here for 2 days now but yesterday we pretty much walked around and recovered from our CRAZY night out in Prague and an overnight train.So Prague does have a nightlife I have never quite seen before. We became friends with a Kiwi by the name of Andrew and after the three of us spe http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Netherlands/North-Holland/Amsterdam/blog-17229.html Helllooo from Prague.... We've been in Prague for 2 days now but due to an emergency laundry run which took a good 4 hours and lack of sleep we really have only done one day of exploring the city. So this blog is mainly in regards to our last 2 days in Interlaken and Vienna. So our plans changed a bit and Jenn and I decided to stay in Interlaken for an extra 2 days and then take a night train t http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Czech-Republic/Prague/blog-16775.html Hey everyone Its great hearing from everyone thanks for the messages and emails.

The city is pretty big but we have enjoyed walking around and just randomly running into cute churches and ruins. We have done so much here it feels like and yet there is so much more we could do if we had more time. Everyone who said 3 days wasnt enough was exactly right but we feel like we have done a lot in th http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Lazio/Rome/blog-15783.html Hello from FlorenceI never thought I would visit Italy but I'm finally here Before I tell you about Florence I have to mention our incredible trip outside of Nice. Jenn and I took the train to Eze Village which is in between Monaco and Nice and hiked up to the village. The view was amazing. We went into the gardens which had a large cacti collection and overlooked most of the Cote d'azur.

I must admit after riding in first class I don't think either one of us are looking forward to returning to 2nd class....where we ultimately belong. In first class nob http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/France/Provence-Alpes-C-te-d--Azur/Nice/blog-15195.html hello from paris So our hostel rocks except the sketchy mean man who yells at EVERYONE law and order is currently on in french best show ever.

I'm watching Lance Armstrong win his 7th tour de france and I can't believe Jenn and I will be there in 48 hours. 7 man..... crazyness.

I returned from England this past Dec. after studying abroad at the University of Leicester where I had an amazing time. Before my time in England I backpacked for 3 weeks not nearly long enough throughout the UK Ireland and Spain. Despite my love for Ireland and the UK where I will hopefully be living after I graduate college this fall http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Virginia/blog-11945.html I visited Chicago for the first time over Memorial Day Weekend. My main purpose for visiting the city was to see the U.S. play England in an international soccer friendly but I also saw a lot of the sites. The skyscrapers were amazing I have never seen anything quite like it I was too young to remember my trip to NYC. Upon my return I had to write a story about my trip for my Writing Across th http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Illinois/Chicago/blog-11940.html
