I have sorely been neglecting my blog! How tragic! Amsterdam was forever ago but I will try to update on everything since then, maybe just with some photos bc honestly I think that’s all anyone looks at anyway. I loved Amsterdam so much that I decided to spend osme more time in the Netherlands. First we went to Haarlem which is about 20 minutes away from Amsterdam. It was much quieter but just as beautiful. Emily and I just walked around and admired the scenery. We stopped for lunch at a little café and an American man was eating at the table next to us and he gave us some great advice about the Netherlands and told us to jump on the train bc we were only 10 minutes away from the ocean. So even though ... read more

Hallo hallo! I just got back from a weekend holiday of skiing in the Alps! My broken computer has been debilitating to say the least, my fingers are crossed that I can get it fixed this week-- and then I will finally be able to upload my amazing pictures from Venice, Vienna, Budapest, Prague. So skiing in the Alps was a bit different than skiing in the States. First of all, the only people I saw falling were my friends. Even the smallest children looked as though they learned to ski around the same time they learned to walk. We had a really fun time though; I forgive my friends for exaggerating their skiing skills. All I can say is thank god we didn’t rent a place that was ski to door-- something we seriously did ... read more

Here are some pics that i thought you would like, its from around Lugano. Some are of my cozy bungalow, from Monica and I's internet cafe adventure, and mostly from Jason and Kayleigh's bday extravaganza where we celebrated their 21st by visiting some of lugano's finest bars and then for the grand finale sipped wine by the lake. Fun!... read more

Leather Leather Leather! Firenze was sooo pretty. A picture is worth a thousand words but there aren’t enough pictures in the world to describe how pretty Florence is. I don’t know how people live there all the time without just constantly looking up at how beautiful everything is. How do they ever get anything done? We got to Florence at around 6 and we went to our hostel It was about 2 minutes from the train, which was really nice because you know packed 234993248 outfits. This weekend I travelled with Michelle, Liz, Jackie, Natalie, Jason, Brittney, Monica, Megan, Mary and Caitlin. The hostel was kind of weird, every inch of the walls were painted or written on. Mural after mural of copies of famous art, it was cool and a little skeezy at the same ... read more

We did it! We succesfully navigated through the train stations and made it to Bern! The capital! Parliament! Woohoo!! It was really fun to finally be away from the group and do our own thing. I don't know if it was just our luck or what but I found the Swiss German people to be soooo friendly and nice. A woman on the train directed us to the tourist desk, the woman at the tourist desk gave us a map and tons of suggestions and even booked our hostel for us, the man at the hostel desk booked our dinner reservations.. it goes on and on. We arrived in Berne (Me, Allie, Liz, Jackie, Stacy, Brittney, Michelle and Monica) around 6 and dropped our stuff off, freshened up and then headed to dinner at Altes Tramdepot, ... read more
