hello again. Alright. so monaco was amazing.. we started off walking around and going to the harbor. the boats at the marina were enormous. they were by far the largest boats i've seen. both sail boats and yachts. it was really amazing to see. from here we ate at a place near the monte carlo casino. i had some ravioli with truffle oil,, this was by far the most amazing food i'd had probably ever. it was great. a little pricey but well worth it. from here we went to the monte carlo casino. to get in you hav eto pay a 10 dollar cover and you have to have an id on you. they actually print your name on the ticket to get in. once in the place seemed surreal. it was really quiet and ... read more


Hey everyone. So the last two days I spent in the frech riviera, Nice to be exact. They were amazing. The first day we went on a walk around the city and ended in a flower market. Our hotel is only 4 blocks from the water. One thing about the water and beaches here tho is that they are pebble beaches not sandy. I guess this is cause this area is where three rivers empty into the mediteranian sea. Either way, the place is amazing and the views are unforgetable. The first night we ate some local food and met up at a bar called the three devils. We didn't stay long before going home to bed. The next day way by far my best day on this trip so far. We started out having breakfast ... read more

Europe » Italy » Tuscany » Florence June 24th 2010

Hey everyone.. ALright.. it has been some time now since i last wrote. basically, i have travelled all over italy. I woudl just like to say that i love italy as a whole. We started off in venice. i was sad that we really only were there for one day. we didnt arrive into the region until late at night and we stayed at a beach community about 10 minutes away from venice.. This was probably one of the best nights i had on the trip.. our entire group ended up buying wine and beer and pizzas. we then all hung out at the beach for the night.. it was so much fun. by the end of the night we were all swimming in the water and everything.. the next day we went into venice.. the ... read more

Europe » Switzerland » North-West » Lucerne June 16th 2010

Hey everyone.. So I have been in Switzerland the last two days.. This place is beautiful. THey use the swiss frank which is a pain to deal with.. Other than that the place is nice. We are staying in the jail house hotel.. This place actually used to be a jail house. Its a little creepy at night. People have found things like help me sketched into the doors. Im tryign to add some pics of the place. Today i wen tto the top of Mt. Pilatus. it was 7000 ft high.. The view sadly wasnt that great cause it was cloudy and overcast. but it was still a great experience. I was able to talk to mom today... that was nice.. everything is super expensive here except the calling cards.. lol.. At this point switzerland ... read more

Europe » Germany June 14th 2010

Hey everyone.. So i'm at a hotel with some free internet.. Yeah!!! So amsterdam was incredible. I think the best thing i did the whole time was ride bikes through the city. The people are amazingly nice and friendly. I think that altough there weren' t too many tourist things to do, i enjoyed the atmosphere. No, i didn't smoke if anyone things that is what i'm talking about.. Its just a nice change in pace i guess from the last places we were at I never felt like people were mad at me of that i was in anyones way. We went on a red light district tour the last day in teh area. This was actually quite facinating. We not only learned about the area, btu we learned about the girls and their lives. ... read more

Europe » France » Paris June 9th 2010

Hello again, after a few days.. So I am now in Paris. I actually love the city, but the people are really unwelcoming. Very rude.. Some interesting things i found out are that their city roads do not have lane markers. There is a middle line and nothing more.. Driving over here is a free for all, really kinda interesting. Paris has toilets also on the side walks, kinda crazy.. I have learned a few key phrases in French.. Things like Hello, goodbye, do you speak English, and thank you. The food here is great. I actually had some salmon last night that was to die for. I have been also really enjoying their crepes. The first day here i had a ham and cheese crepe and today i had a chocolate and banana crepe (they ... read more
