Perfect!! Wow Kate! I loved your commentary on this great adventure that you enjoyed! School children and field trip in the same sentence is enough to give someone a great visual and to make them happy they were not in charge! So much fun but so many different obstacles to overcome and new experiences! You are my hero!! Pictures are beautiful! Stories are great! Those memories are priceless! That school and those children are lucky to have you! Thanks for sharing this story!!
Hello Kate,
Your photos are postcard quality. It must have been emotional being at the concentration camp. Maybe you can take me there some day.Love you! Mom
Kate-what a sad place. You certainly are giving yourself an education. Is that from reading all those books you read so furiously when you were growing up-your desire to travel and see the world. I admire you so much. Love Aunt Marie
That hotel is older than our country.
Europe is so cool.
I like how the flowers contrast so strongly with the tragedy of Buchenwald. Without the captions it looks like a beautiful, innocuous place.
I think Old Town Square is one of the prettiest places I've ever been...not to mention lots of really great stuff to buy, super cheap! I totally want to go back, so I will def go to Prague with you sometime :)
Glad you liked the food Hi everyone,
I live there and wanted to add a comment:
streets names aren't written in french and german, but french and "alsacien"( or "elsässich") local dialect which isn't a mix of french and german but a language derivated from german
Such good times walking to Eastern Europe. I'm glad that your American passports didn't cause the entire line of renterring citizens to come to an abrupt halt. Didn't they take our pictures, too? I can't remember. All I remember is attempting to understand their German and replying with my own broken Deutsch. bahaha.
some more.. first thank u very much for speaking the truth about Indians. Thank god!! at least u find out how mean they are with their social behavior. Since being a close influencing neighbor they are ruining the purity and naturally polite people of Nepal. There are lot of other bad aspects of Indians, hope one day people will start to look on those as well rather than only seeing and believing India as the Indian media and politics try to show. well, coming back to Nepal, your aim of visit is not quite clear, i mean what kind of program or mission u went there, but i guess u've enjoyed the natural beauty of Nepal while showcasing some help to people. I hope u had good deal on that. And talkin about the buses, Nepal is a hilly country, so making train tracks is not very easy and still expensive for a economically surviving nation like us. So in that case bus is the dominating way of travelling. But the travel experience depends on which class of traveler u are. there are high class luxurious bus to cheap ones. In Nepal all people can't afford the expensive one,so for those there are chip buses, so that people having less money or people wanting to spent less can travel. But it doesn't mean like in Nepal there are buses only like the one u traveled. While explaining things like that, next time please say "I saved lots of money while traveling in a cheap bus in Nepal", rather than giving wrong picture of Nepal to the world. Gud luck with your Tibet mission.
thank you for sharing. i enjoyed reading your article.
islam is practiced differently in different places.
the arab world, north africa, south asia, south east asia, china, central asia, the west, each has its own flavor of islam. there is also tremendous diversity even within most of these cultures.
also, there is no religious clergy in islam. there is no parallel to the 'pope'.
each person is individually responsible for their interpretation of the religion.
the religious interpretations of the meccans have therefore no distinction.
the sheikh culture in senegal is an innovation.
