Ciao Bella!






So after many crazy times in Praha, Salzburg, and Ravenna, I'll finally be heading to Munich tomorrow! But first, a recap of the past couple days.
After a week in Offenburg, I traveled to Praha to meet the Wiseman brigade. The city was awesome, with fabulous architecture, sex shops, and food. We saw the Charles Bridge, a palace, the golden lane, churches, and much more. We even got to see emily's name sake statue, Fred and Ginger. We ate, we drank, we laughed, we frolicked.
Our next stop was Salzburg, where we sang the hills are alive from start to finish. We pictured Fraulein Maria and the gang everywhere we went, and said chears to the whole von trapp family as we drank eiscafe and ate cake. We also stumbled upon a clothing store named Ellie. I tried desperately to buy something but, sadly, everything was way out of my budget.
Finally, after a 7 hour gorgeous drive through the alps, we reached our final location in Ravenna. I was so excited to make my first visit to Italy and it definitely exceeded my expectations. Italians are nice, funny, outgoing, SUCH a change of pace from many germans (no offense). And the food is INCREDIBLE. Cheese, freshly made pasta, gilato, DELICIOUS. We also saw the mosaics which were really amazing. And what better way to end the trip than with a creepy encounter with 3 old italian men inviting us back to their "palace". um, ill pass, but thanks, im really flattered...
Here are some pictures from Praha:
1: Fred and Ginger.
2: Emily and I at the charles bridge

Seat belt fastened and ready to go!


Hi Everyone,
I created this blog so I could share a little of what's going on during my semester in Munich. Once I get the hang of it, I hope to post pictures and stories about all of my adventures. I'm not actually in Munich yet, I'll arrive there on March 29th. First, I'll travel to Prague, Salzburg, and Italy! Stay tuned!
