So I have finally arrived back in Vacaville and it’s now 2 in the morning and jet lag has officially hit me.  I’m wide awake and exhausted at the same time…oh the pain of having to go to Europe for a month! haha So my trip wrapped up with a quick stay in London.  I […]

Cinque Terre…what more can you say but amazing, wonderful, beautiful, awe-inspiring… I loved this area so much four years ago that I knew I wanted to come back and in good weather so I can do all the hiking I didn’t get to do before.  Iam so glad I did!  I had a great time there, […]

My second day in Prague started off better the one before.  I slept in till 9:30 and got ready to hit the town. One minor hiccup happened though, I went to get some socks and found out I had no clean ones!  I took about fifteen minutes and washed my socks in the sink with the […]

So this day started off horrible and just got worse.  I woke up and my cold has completely gone to my chest.  Horrible chest congestion and a barking cough…yeah it sucks.  But I’m in Europe and got to make the best of it. After breakfast I jumped on the S-bahn and headed back to the Hauptanbof.  […]

So today started out good, I had ordered breakfast for the two days I was here (apparently Germans don’t like to give out free breakfasts) and came down to see what they had.  It was a nice spread, some yogurt, fresh fruits (had a kiwi and banana), some bread and nutella, some assorted cereals and the […]

So after a kind of long trip (6 hours) from Amsterdam to Berlin, I arrived and from the train station you can see the dome of the Reichstag.  Never being to Germany and being soo into history, it was so exciting to see the dome and know that I’m in the heart of Nazi Germany.  I […]

Hello again, I’m writing to you from somewhere in rural North Germany on the Deutche Bahn. So yesterday was my second day in the Netherlands and in Amsterdam.  I started out the morning by waking up early and grabbing my laptop and microphone and making a Skype call to A.  The hostel was so sketchy and […]

So I woke up on my third day in Paris with only one day left with a  huge plate ahead of me.  I still had the Orsay, Napoleon’s Tomb and maybe even Versailles.  Well I didn’t get to see Versailles because after all the walking I did, my feet was killing me and I actually started […]

So I woke up and took my shower on Day 2 and went down for breakfast where I met Kristin and Warner.  We all agreed that we’d hit up the free tour at ten so we all showed up and were waiting around when the receptionist lady told us the tour wasn’t picking us up and […]

So Monday started off fairly ok.  Got up way early and tried not too make too much noise for my hostel roommate Marcus.  Left the hostel at 05:45 and made my way to the Underground.   I hopped on the District line and got to St. Pancras with about ten minutes to spare before they opened the […]

So if you haven’t noticed yet, I haven’t quite got the hang of being consistent in my journal writing.  I will promise to do my best to keep up and at the very least fill you in on the past few days whenever I get the chance… So Day 4 in Europe and in London…  […]

Day 1:  Arrived in Heathrow at around 9 in the morning.  Took about an hour and a half to get through customs.  I mean what is wrong with this place when they have 3 Custom guards servicing 2 jumbo jets that come in at the same time?!  Ok, enough of the rant.  Got on the […]
