Weekend In Frankfurt Friday afternoon, we hit the road to embark on a weekend trip to Frankfurt City. Sandras mother had bought us the trip to the city, including two nights at a four star hotel. Frankfurt being the 5th largest city in Germany with a population of just over 670,000, is the financial and transportation centre of Germany, and the largest financial centre in continental Europe. The city has much to offer. Of course, it would be an amazing city to visit with countless dollars, and a plan of action. However, when we travel to a city, we simply enjoy [View Full Entry]

Getting To Rome Thursday morning we woke up in anticipation for a pleasant three day journey. Destination, Rome. The good thing about Europe is, traveling around is relatively convenient. For example, there are no major oceans (or any other large bodies of water for that matter) that you must travel over to get to where you are going. A two hour flight, and a couple of short train rides, and we were basically there. It was actually kind of funny to me how easy it was to get there. I love traveling, because there are so many unexpected events that take [View Full Entry]

Visiting A Castle There is a castle that's up on a mountain, near the town Sandra lives in. Today we went there. I had never been to a "Real" Castle before. I dont think the Castle at Magic Kingdom in Florida counts. Anyway, the cool thing was, on the way up the mountain to the castle, the drive is really weird. The road just loops and loops all the way up the hill, with sharp corners. To steep to do a straight up drive. I kept telling Sandra that I want her to take me back there with my skates so [View Full Entry]

The Zoo Yesterday, we experienced a "Zoo Day". We woke up in the morning, and took the train to Frankfurt. It wasn't a very long ride, only about 45 minutes. Sandra got her Starbucks. Good coffee is very important for her. The Frankfurt Zoo is one of the biggest, and best zoos in this area. We saw Lions, Tigers, Bears, Monkeys, Fish, Snakes, etc. It was some good, wholesome, quality, family entertainment. Here are some pictures of the day.... [View Full Entry]

Day One On Sunday morning, we woke up early and got ready for a two day trip. Sandra’s Uncle had invited us to Rust for two days where there is an entertainment park. It was very similar to Disneyworld, except a little smaller and different, of course. It was about a two-hour drive from Sandra’s house to Rust, so a bit better than the three-day journey to Florida from Maine that I remember doing as a kid. No pit-stops, hotels, or screaming kids in the back of the van made the journey very relaxing. When we arrived, we could see a [View Full Entry]

Arrival - October 3rd The plane ride wasn’t so bad. It was only about 7-8 hours. Not nearly as bad as the trip to New Zealand. It is always amazing to me how I get stressed out about things, and then everything works out fine with no complications. That is exactly what happened in this case. Wes’s buddy brought me to the airport, helped me get my tickets, I got on the plane fine, got there fine, got through customs fine, and met up with Sandra with no problems. It was so good to see her. We have been apart for [View Full Entry]

September 19th - 13 Days To Go For the past two months, I have been working at Haffords Saloon in Waterville, Maine. Sandra had come to the United States for three months, and came to the end of her tourist allowance on July 6th, so I have been saving up and preparing to go see her in Germany. It has been hard for us to be apart from each other for so long, but it will all be better soon, because I have only thirteen days left before I finally fly to Frankfurt where she (hopefully) will be awaiting my arrival.

Boothbay Harbor This past weekend was quite exciting. My cousin Christina got married in Boothbay Harbor Maine, so there was a gathering for the weekend, where I got to see my family and spend time with them. It was very nice. We arrived in the afternoon on Thursday, and checked into our hotel, which was a very nice hotel. It was very old, and was (what I hear) one of the oldest log cabins in Maine. Most of our family was staying there with us, in different room’s right down the hall. A few of the pictures are from there, playing [View Full Entry]

Back In Maine I have been back in Maine since February 17th. I don’t know why I haven't written much since coming home, I guess I am just lazy. Things have been going alright. Sandra arrived in Boston on April 8th. It was so great to see her. We were only apart for 7 weeks, but it felt like years. Since she was been here, we have had much fun together. I have showed her the Maine Coast, Maine’s Largest City (Portland), and last weekend we went up to Quebec with my brother Josh and his Fiancé. I thought about Richard [View Full Entry]
