Julie-You have seen some beautiful sights. I would love to see the Sistine Chapel. The famous statue you sent the picture of is The Pietà. It depicts the body of Jesus on the lap of his mother Mary after the Crucifixion. I cannot imagine how heart breaking that must have been for her. We're glad you're having such a wonderful trip. Hope your new shoes work out better for you.
It sounds like you are having fun meeting people. We are having fun following you on the map. Wish we were with you. The plaster cast was so interesting. Do they have a lot of them?
I think that women traveling alone just instantly understand each other, so we just know what it' like and support each other. It's been wonderful.
And yes, my days are very full. I arrived in Florence today and just decided to do nothing. No sightseeing, just reading and journal writing and let me tell you, I need it. If I am going to make it to the finish line then I need to pace myself.
Well, it sure sounds like your days are full, and the pictures are just so awesome!. It's also amazing how many woman your meeting that are also traveling alone, are they mostly from the U.S.?? It sure sounds like your having the time of your life, just don't wear yourself out. Take care Julie.
Love Ya..
The food has been wonderful. I am eating cheap, so I have been doing alot of delis and stuff, but so good. Pizza in Naples, mousaka in Athens, baklava in Patras, Gelato in Rome! Hhmm.. but it has been really hot so I have not had a huge appetite.
Ugh! I am kicking myself in the butt right now for just not taking my shoes for crews. As dorky as they are I can walk in them forever. I think that I may have to buy a new pair of shoes.
I am sorry, at my last hostel the internet was 5 an hour! So I bought one card and barely had enough time in the three days to make all my reservations and stuff. I will be better in the future.
Your Beutiful! The Island of Capri does sound amazing I got some mental pictures going wright now and I want to go ,sounds like a heavenly place ,I cannot wait to see the pictures, I want some freshly squeezed lemonade after reading about the lemon trees yummy!! love you
Fun Fun Fun! And sorry I didn't warn you, but everybody gets a blister in Europe. Glad you're having fun! I love the night pic of the Acropolis! I'd love to go there! As for the streetlamps, that's what photoshop is for =) Love ya - Tyson
Julie.... Where are you??? haven't heard from you for some time now....
Hope everything is well for you and that you are having the time of your life!! Melissa is now in Hawaii, hopefully having the time of her life. I realize that you are somewhere without internet access, and I hope this finds you safe, warm and happy!!
Love Ya
Petra I'm going to stop asking why you're still there. Sounds like... good times :)
BTW you were in Petra(s). But if you took those pictures from Patra(s)... I want that camera!!! (215km from Athens)
Will you post pictures of the dirty streets already?
Parliament Funk-a-delic!!! This is like so awesome. Yes I'm a few days behind on your travels but I'm stoked to finally have time to read and see pics of it! I'd love to just relax and eat some fish-n-chips (authentic!) like an official london-ist. I'm reminded of the movie "The Bourne Supremecy", if I were there I'd totally be acting parts of it out. I'm stoked about your trip this is so rad!
I am jealous that you got to got to see the archeology museum I love museums and vases alot, you got to see a greek island very sweet not to many people can say they have done that now you can so cool, also you will now be known as the blistered beuty of europe, sorry I hope it heals soon! Luv Yu.
Pictures look post card perfect, excellent job! Don't forget to bandage that heel. As always, We enjoy reading you entries, take care Julie and we love ya.
Greek men As the old guy in my room put it "The Greek men think that they are great lovers" so I have learned to avoid eye contact at all costs. This has given me great results in the amount of crazy men I attract. The food is so good. On every street they have little deli's with different pastry's and foods that are so good. I will snack all day on feta cheese filled pastry's and these little stuffed tart shell things with peppers, cheese and olives hhmmm.
We all enjoy reading your comments and can't wait till the next entry. Watch out for those Greek men Julie they are known to be extreme macho womanizers.... Take care girl, and enjoy yourself, oh yah, How's the local greek quisine been?
This is my blog to keep in touch with my family and friends while on my travels! Any questions or suggestions please send me a message. Happy trails!... full info
