(no subject)
these are the last days of my time here, in wien! it's so upseting. . . i don't want to come home.
ok, i could go home for the holidays, but then come back for another semester of travel. this place has become another home. i'm really not ready, but then again, i can tell my body is tired and needs some normalcy. my nerves have been stretched as well, and though i love these people like extensions of my own family, i am growing more frustrated considering the stress of travel and finals and tests and projects.
but having said that, i don't think i have ever felt closer to people i have barely known for so long. and i do love them like extensions of my family, since that is what we have become over the past few months.
sooo paris was awesome, i loved it pretty much. i would love to go back. i saw every great work of art probably, plus some more. hmm i saw the eiffel tower at night and went up to the highest level (it was hazy but really fun), i saw jim morrison's grave, i took a boat cruise on the river, i went into notre dame (sorry guys, no hunchback...), i saw the arc of triumph...etc.
i went to normandy and saw the beaches of the invasion of WWII, and so much more. i saw versailles and the palace there (no hall of mirrors, it's under reconstruction). hmmm i can't think of much more right now.
i don't want to come home. but good things must be waiting for me, i hope so.
liz would like to thank nalgene's, milka, journals, and especially ipods, for being my best friend and sole accompaniment on every trip.
see you in the states!
here are some pics:
me and the eiffel, looking a little surprised?

schnitzel...anyone? bigger than the plate! sheesh.
it snowed! this is the view from the train as we came back into vienna, it's so beautiful! i wish you could see the smoke from the chimneys and snow covering the trees! it was so beautiful...
that's all folks. see you soon-
