Hi there! I'm Kira and this blog follows my various travels around the globe (hopefully). In the summer of 2006, my best friend Connie and I traveled throughout Europe and caused a fabulous ruckus!

Essen- The Krupp Family House

The Krupp family was a rather important one in 19th and 20th century German history. They've always been tied to industrial endeavors since the industrial revolution in Germany in the early 19th century.

Essen- "Passing Notes"

Janine still had a note that we slipped to each other in math class in high school.

Friends really DO make a difference!
You can have as many Oprah moments as you need. That is acceptable. Anyway. These pictures are so great-- I LOVE the view from the top of the tower. I'm also very proud that you went all the way to the top. Next, we'll have to conquer the third level of the Eiffel Tower! I know you can! I miss you and will eagerly await your next post... **hug**

You are a fox!!
Eebs, I miss you so very much, but I'm glad to hear that you are having a good time despite the hooligans. You've now gotten to experience soccer hooliganism in the UK and in Germany. Are the brash, screaming cries of "Roone-hey" better, or the drunks singing Backstreet Boys? I cut my hair short again. I'll send you pictures later. You look great. Hugs from your overly proud sister!

Hooligans!
Kira, You must have been wearing your t-shirt that says on the back, "Kick me - you fussball hooligan, you!". Just kidding, of course. BTW, where is that shirt?? I've been looking for it! HA! I'm proud of you for being so creative in finding ways to get your daily workout while in Germany. Tower stairs - yes! The next aerobic workout phenomenon- coming to America!! Great pictures, especially the ones of you. I might be slightly biased though, um... Love ya!! Mum
