Hola Todos! Sorry it's been so long since I last posted - we were busy with finals and goodbyes, and my girlfriend Chelsey came alllll the way from home just to see me, so I haven't been around a computer much. I have new stories and new pics, but unfortunately I don't have time to share them right now. I've just packed up my whole room (it feels like I'm bringing home much more than I brought with me) and I'm about to head to the airport for the last European adventure (at least this year). Dave and I are traveling up to Munich, where we'll be until May 5th. We have a couple of day trips planned, one to Austria and another to see the castles in the areas surrounding the city. I'll be sure ... read more

Hola Todos! As I'm writing this, its almost 4am on Sunday night and I'm listening to the Sox-Yanks game online. We're winning 7-4 in the 4th. Oh, what would I do if not for the internet? Anyways, I'm still pretty awake so I figured I would use the time constructively (and so that I don't use this as an excuse to avoid doing work later this week). This was a pretty quiet weekend - our last Spanish final was Friday morning, so it pretty much felt like a 3-day weekend. A big group of us spent the whole day down by the beach Friday, playing some volleyball and just generally hanging out. Great start to a relaxing little break. I went out Friday and Saturday at night, both times heading to bars and then clubs afterwards ... read more

Hola Todos! So now that I've finally finished with the total update from Spring Break (check the Italy picture entry again, I added another 150ish pics since first publishing it), I figured I'd update you all on what I've been doing in the few weeks since then. Just as all of Barcelona returned from break, it seemed like everywhere else in Europe was just beginning theirs. The evening that I returned from Italy I already had a group of friends in town, and so I played tour guide for the next few days. That ended up being really fun, not only because I got to see people from back home and meet their friends from their programs, but because I had been away from Barca for so long that I was just happy to be checking ... read more

And here are the pics from Italy. I tried to include as many descriptions as possible, especially in the Roman forum so you'll know what the piles of rocks used to be. Hope you're all doing well **edit** here are the rest of the pics from Italy - after this I'll be posting some pics/vids of what I've been doing since then, along with a little update as well. see ya all in less than a month! (holy cow, i'm home in a month)... read more
April 3rd 2008
Heyyy everybody - Sorry it's taken me so long to post up all of these pics - it only lets you do 50 at a time (which takes a while), and then I wanted to add captions for pretty much all of them. I'll post the Italy pics right after this though, I promise. Here we go:... read more

Heyyyy Everyone! I apologize for not being in contact for the last few weeks - I've been pretty much either traveling or studying. March 6-9th friends and I were in Amsterdam, then the 10-12th we had midterms, then the 13-23rd we had spring break. And so, finally, I have a quiet Tuesday night so I can share with you how amazing the last few weeks have been. Before I start on all of the fun stuff, I thought I'd let you know that classes have been going very well, although because of traveling I've wracked up a couple of extra absences in a few classes. But y'know what? Am I going to remember sitting bored in class at 9am 20 years from now, or am I going to remember sitting by the beach at Playa del ... read more

And here are the pics and a coupla new vids. Disfrute! Ed. Here are the lyrics to the Barca song, it took me a while (its in Catalan, so I can't really tell you what they mean.)

Hola Todos! So before this next weekend gets underway, I figured I'd better fill you all in on what's been going on since the "Paris Fiasco," as I now call it. Then again, it did make me think on my feet and adapt. What good is four months in Europe if I don't get stuck in a country where I don't know the language and without a phone? I think everyone should have to deal with it. Anyways... On Wednesday after I returned from Paris (February 27), FC Barca played Valencia at Camp Nou in the Copa Del Rey, which is a soccer tournament in Spain. It's the semifinals round, so it was a very big game. Unfortunately, all of the top tier 10 euro seats sold out, and seeing as how there aren't many people ... read more
