Finaly Snow! Day 31 - Brno, Czech Republic - Jan 12th 2013 I'm beggining the last leg of my Trip! I've been gone for a full month now but it seems like years, which is totally cool. Time alwasy seems to go by fast when you're having fun and I always wished it would go by slower for the fun times, and this is the first time I can remember that I'm having the time of my life and time is moving slow. It's a pretty Amazing feelilng to finally have. After waking up in the Prague Airport during a sleep from Midnight to 5am, I get some food at the only place that was open, and find the bus to take me to the Prague train station to head to Brno. I catch the 5:47am ... read more

Itsa meee, Christopher! Day 30 - Pisa and Lucca, Italy - Jan 11th, 2013 So one of my main Incentives to travel to Florence was becasue everyone I've met told me to go, but mostley because it is an Hour outside of Pisa so I will be taking a Day Trip to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa!!! The coolest dude ever Yuri, who runs the Hostel that I'm at, was nice enough to make a reservation for me to go on the Pisa a and Luca Tour. After nearly missing the Tour Bus, I was on my way first to Luca. I sat next to the Driver and he was super friendly to me after I told him my Mom was born in Chili since he was Chilean, and told me that the fashion show ... read more

Day 29 in Europe - Florence, Tuscany, Italy - Jan 10th 2012: It takes exactely 4 minutes and 27 seconds to cook a batch of McDonalds French Fries from start to Finish. From completly Frozen, to thawed, put into the boiling oil and then served to the Consumer. I know this because Tyler knows this. Or its because I had a cheap 2 Euro breakfast this morning since Im broke and I walked in before they had anything cooked yet. (Cheers if you got my Awesome Fight Club Quote!) Since Ive seen pretty much everything I wanted to in Florence yesterday, today was a more slow paced day. I wanted to go to a couple places during the day today that I went to at night yesterday to get the full scale of Epics at both ... read more

Italiano! Florence, Italy - Day 28 - Jan 9th 2013: Holy Shnikeys! Italy has been developing into my favorite Country! Right when I didn't believe the last three days could be topped, Florence then comes. Wow. I'll start with the most eerily Awesome Hostel entrance. So I find my way to the Hostel, and it is this long, 20 foot door that I have to buzz into. I walk in,and it is very deemly lit, qith the only light coming from a skylight from what seems like miles up. All there is is this spireling stairwell. And all of a sudden, I feel like I'm in the move Pan's Labyrenth and I here this faint voice say "Hello...." echo yhroughout the stairwell and have no ida where it's coming from, who is saying it or if ... read more
