the Travels.

Alright y'all. I have 14 minutes left on this timed session so I will give you the low down.

Julie and I have been traveling the past two weeks or so and we have seen Munich, Vienna, Prague, Dresden and are currently in Berlin. We hop on the night train tonight. We met up with our friend Gaby in Dresden and she is with us until we return to Paris. I don't know how to  upload photos using these public computers so it looks like I will have to post them after we get back home.

A brief highlight of each city:

In Munich we took a day trip to the Neuchwanstein Castle which is a beautiful castle that Disney actually designed the Sleeping Beauty Castle after. It was so hot that we bought expensive sunscreen and about half an hour after putting it on the thunderclouds rolled in. By the time we reached the top of the hill/mountain it was hailing and pouring down, we were soaked and freezing. It was pretty cool and we took some very cute pictures but those were lost, so you just have to use your imagination.In Munich itself, besides the history and the tours we really enjoyed the English Garden which had a river which we went swimming in.

In Vienna we stayed with an au pair who I had met in Paris, Sarah. She let us stay with her in her house with her parents and she took us into the city each day and took us to traditional Austrian restaurants were I was able to try Schnitzel. In her community she had a lake for swimming and Julie and I had so much fun swimming and running through the fields of sunflowers next door to her house. The night train out of Vienna is where we lost our camera so those pictures aren't here either.

We took a night train to Prague and what we did in Prague was two days of sight seeing and two nights of serioussly cheap beer drinking. We got over to the Monastery decorated by Monk's bones. By this time I had bought a disposable camera so maybe one day I can show those off, but we also made friends who took pictures so hopefully I will get a hold of those. Prague was great but for time sake I will keep it at that.

Dresden: Our favorite so far.

With that tantalizing line I have to leave it because I can't be bothered to pay another euro to finish this up.




One week till I come home.
Whoah.
