im alive!
well goodness me, i havent posted here in ages! Well much has happened.
Europe was beyond amazing! St. Petersburg was probably my favorite city! i loved how different it was from everywhere else (of course thanks to their government and that whole communism thing that lasted a while) hahaha But it was all great and i met some amazing new people! A few pictures below!
In the center of St. Petersburg (in the one they are holding!)
The Baltic Sea!!
See the orb in the middle?! A ROMANOV SPIRIT! (romanov's burial ground in Peter & Paul Cathedral)
LOVE this- my favorite site of the trip! (im in the center obviously)
Hill of Crosses in Lithuania (there were so many! it was so eerie since it was so muggy out)
Auschwitz =( that was really sad
Olympic Stadium in Berlin from Hitler's Olympics
Berlin Wall (im in orange)
on the other hand; the olympics! Gymnastics is driving me nuts! its what i watch the olympics for and all week ive been up until 130am watching gymnastics! and China is cheating! i do believe along with everyone else that some of the girls are below the age requirement. and i think that if it can be proven that theyre gold should be taken away. it is without doubt that they do deserve it but cheating is cheating! and if they wanted to send girls below the age requirement they should have sent to the board of whoever is important and said they want to lose the age requirement. Even Bela Karyoli (the American guy that basically recreated American gymnastics) said that he doesnt think the ruile should exist. he believes that if it didnt, Nastia Luikin (our all around gold medalist!) would have been on the 2004 team! so yeah, i guess we will see what happens! i love gymnastics :) haha
