Our 'European Vacation' 2006

Phew! Finally made it to Paris after a gargantuan effort packing up our lives in London. We were working 16-18 hour days just trying to sort through all the crap we've accumulated over the past 4 years. But we managed to get the boxes packed and sent o...

143 Days in Greece

So, Crete was wonderful--as usual. I got off the boat, inhaled the sweet pre-dawn air, and felt immediately as though I had come home. Our hotel was right on the waterfront, and though simple, was clean and attractive and the nicest manager ever. While...

"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...

We took a day trip to Genoa on this lovely Saturday. We first visited the aquarium there (the largest in Europe!) which was a lot of fun, then enjoyed the beautiful weather by the port, had a delicious full lunch, and then went to the mall! Yes, Genoa ...

Athens Greece

Well as most people say.....it is good to see the Acropolis but get to the Greek Islands when you go to Greece. I will say it has changed her a bit since 1988. Most likely because of the summer Olympics that were here in 2004. They built a great Met...

Rome Study Abroad 2007

I always love how surprised I am to realize the “greatness” factor in certain areas of the globe. Take for example, Paris, France. I went to Paris during my first study abroad tour with a huge group of people from the program—and met up with my cousi...

Let´s play the traveling game.

That's what I like in my cities. Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg blaring through the streets. We decided to take a mini detour to Budapest. It's been muggy and chock full of fun stuff. The day we got here, we discovered that President Bush was following us i...

Europe August-September 2005

The night train to Florence was one of the highlights of the trip for me. I tried to get some sleep early on because I was scared of missing the stop, but it was all too exciting. Changed at Pisa at 3:30am and fell asleep, woke up then nearly got off...

Six months in Europe

I made it home, slightly worse for the wear. They say to not drink alcohol when crossing several time zones as it makes the jet lag worse, but then they give you free drinks on the plane! Silly people. So of course I indulged just a little. But now I'm...
