Europe was the best experience in my life. I made friends I'll keep forever and learned so much about the culture.

France. french lesson, Eiffle Tower [almost got pick pocketed], Seine River tour (saw the many beauties), Norte Dame, Napoleon's home/ grave, Arc de Truimphe, Versailles, homestay in Riems (country side) [had the best family in the world. The little one and I played cards for hours and she taught me so much French from not being able to speak english], La Louvre [got locked in the room with the jeweled crown], there when Portugual, Brazil, Germany, and France beat their World Cup games.

train from France to Italy. Loads of fun playing cards, telling jokes, fitting too many people in our cabin, and enjoying friends.

Italy. fell in love with Venice, watched glass blowing [spent way too much money], got a Gondola ride, drove through unbelievably beautiful Tuscany, visited David and Medosa in Florance [David is astonishing, he took my breathe away!], saw thousands of sunflowers every minute, leaned with the Leaning Tower of Pisa, watched albastor carved [again spent way too much money], Ab-sailed off a castle in Perugia, the Collesium, 5 hour scavenger hunt (Spanish steps [137 of them], Trevi Fountain, 2 scoops of Geltato, shopping, Panthenon, 3 more scoops of Gelato, shopping, and another fountain), the Vatican, St. Peter's Square, pizza, Mnt. Vasovious (sp?? where we got rained in, the storm was incredibly strong), stayed with the nuns, had $200 stolen from someone in my group, Pompei [ran into a friend I hadn't seen in almost 2 yrs], ate lots of Gelato through out the week in Italy, and saw Italy win their pre-finals World cup games and Germany beat Brazil. ps everytime I was with Brandon I was hit on. From being fed literally to being paid for to special attentions the Italian studs loved me when I was with Brandon. Brandon and I decided they were jealous of him... my supposed beautiful boyfriend, really my great friend.

ferry from Italy to Greece. full of serious drama.

Greece.Watched Italy beat France for the world Cup, Patras, Greek theatre [forgot my ABC's while singing them infront of everyone I was so scared], Olympia [absolutely mind-blowing], 4 hour bus ride to Athens, fell in love with Greek Frappes, Acropollis, Parthenon, Nike's Palace, Roman Ruins, Heart of Athens, shopping [bought a pair of kick as shoes with balls on them and souvineirs], helped the Sea Turtle rescue center, road the train, went to the beach a block infront of our hotel, roomed the last three nights with the girls, learned to Greek dance [I want to learn more, it was so much fun and I really enjoyed it], we watched our instructors dance in tradational costume and 50x better than us, spent the last day in Aegina on the beach and shopping in the little village.

flew home, it took 28 hours... hell day for travelling, I ran into so many problems.
