hey guys. first off, this is going to be very hard to type because i do not know how to capitalize things, the z is in the y place and vice versa and i dont know how to use the apostrophe on this keyboard. anyways, prague was amazing, like i have already said. a few of my favorite things were the charles bridge where you had an amazing view of the city. emily and i walked across it at night and the view of the city was amazing. some of the buildings made me feel like i was in a fairytale picturebook. i took some pics and i will put them up when im back in avila. the communist museum was pretty interesting. its crazy to me that just about 16 years ago they were a ... read more

hello all. we are packing up and getting ready to head out to dresden germany tomorrow and the next day to prague in the czech republic. we had a blast this weekend with andrew and took a little trip a couple of hours on the train to nuremberg and toured where nazi rallies were held and hitler's speeches delivered. it was incredible to watch little children play where such a fierce rally was held. we were back in munich last night and enjoyed an authentic italian dinner that had the bonus of being cheap. and the night would not have been complete without the phenomenal street performer playing the accordian. folks, we never thought we would enjoy the sound of accordian but we couldn't stop listening to this man play. (sorry if i'm spelling that wrong). ... read more

I took a group of 42 people on an EF Tours trip to Germany, Italy, Austria and Switzerland. It was wonderful! Among friends were Loren & Jane, Daniel, Lisa, Bobby & Helen, Nina, Kathy, Mona, and the family. Most of the studets who traveled with me were Jersey Village Students. Our tour director's name was Till. He was an excellent guide and got along really well with all of the students as well as the adults. Anyway, one of my favorite cities in Germany was Munich. It was very cold and we arrived right in the middle of a snow storm. ... read more

So, really my train started out from Salzburg for me, but i was in Munich for awhile, so that i why I put down that I was there...because that counts for me!!! Hahaha...So, after basically a day of waiting. I got on the train and it was probably the nicest train I have been on thus far. I sat in the same area with another person. It was a young man. He lives in Munich and was taking the train home because he works in Linz, Austria. Pretty cool. The nice thing about our seats, was the outlets, so i was able to charge my iPod and camera batteries. We were only on the train for about two hours. Then i arrived in Munich. However, I had about 3 hours before my train left at midnight ... read more

We took a train to Munich from Rome. It took about 10 hours but it was well worth it. Our train was sold out and jammed packed full of people trying to get to small ski towns that are in the Italian Alps. Once we got past the main ones it was smooth sailing from there. Trey and I had a whole cabin to ourselves the rest of the way to Munich, which was trough the Austrian Alps which are some of the most beautiful and fantastic scenery I have ever seen. We talked with a German lady for a while about different things and she told us that there had been 5 feet of snow that had dropped that week in Munich and the mountains and that was the reason there were so many people ... read more
