A Holiday in Europe

"We're not in Germany anymore." Sunday. We said goodbye to Thomas and made our way through the train stations to Brussels, Belgium. We seemed to have overworked R2-J2 (as we nicknamed Jean, thanks to her astounding sense of direction) beca...

 

"Rockin' Year in the Berg"

Today was quite a day in Athens. I got up early with plans to go to Olympia, but found out everything closed at 3pm. Since I wouldn't get there until 11:30 with the 5 hour train ride, I figured I could find better things to do with my day. Because I...

The World Cup

Still too upset, pissed off, etc. to write this... Over it now, actually no, but enough to continue on. Let's just say that if this were handwritten last night, there may have been some smudging. Had my first alcohol free day on Sunday since...

Sommer 2006 zu Lëtzebuerg

I just found out about this little program a couple days ago during my stay in Luxembourg for the summer of 2006 with my wonderful girlfriend and her family. I'm writing today on my birthday and I must admit it's a little weird to spend your birthda...

My Semester Abroad

Our weekend in Paris was full of interesting sites and people. Communicating in another language is always fun, especially when you don't know it. And as most of you all know I have a hard enough time communicating my thoughts in English let alone in...

 

German Joyride 2007

We started at the Hofbrauhaus, a large beer hall with a live band and an endless sea of wooden tables packed with people. We actually ended up sitting next to two American girls, one of whom is from Rochester! Small world. I'm not sure if it's a Bavari...

Far and Wide - Trips to the world inside and outside of me

Sometimes our journeys take us to the strangest places...or life does. If somebody sent you a ticket and told you to fly to the States and meet somebody you have never seen in person just like that, would you do it? I did... I always wanted to...

 

Around Europe in 7.4 Months

Berlin's a top city. No doubt about it, you ask people the no. 1 place they'd like to visit in Germany and the most likely answer will be Berlin (pronounced "Bair-leen" in German). It's a city that you can really say has it all - great histor...

 

Sprechts Du Switzerdeutsch?

Just a little jaunt to Bern. We spent a lot of time in used book shops because Stefan was looking for something really particular. And then we couldn't find the Freud museum, or something like that. Later we went in a little museum-ish place about the ...

 

Europe 2006

Day 33 - Caught the 7,16am train to Munich which took about 4 hours. Glad we have the first class Eurail Pass, the carriages are comfortable and the trains go very very fast. Europe's trains are a great way to get around. We went to Dachau and the...

 

Studying Abroad in Paris, Spring 2007

To visit Lauren. Wednesday I got into Dublin and suddenly remembering that they "parlez anglais" in this country. It was wonderfully refreshing! My old roommate Lauren met me at the bus stop from the airport, and greeted me at Trinity...
