European Vacation

It is amazing at how quickly the time flies. It seems like it was just last week that I got back from Europe, and now it is over a month later. Where does all the time go?

So Europe

It was amazing the history, ambience, and the architecture. The weather I could have done without. Cool and rainy almost the entire time. It finally cleared the last week and a half of the trip. But to be able to see places and things that I had only read about or seen pictures of was amazing. The things I did that I never thought that I could or would be because I was scared. Climbing up to the Blarney Stone, and basically doing a backbend. Climbing the stairs to the Eiffel Tower. Actually trying to converse in French. Getting on the wrong train and going away from Amsterdam. Having some guy try and follow me to train station. Trying fresh Belgian chocolate. MMMM that was so good. Most of the chocolate stores in Brussels gave me samples as I walked in. To be able to go where I wanted when I wanted was nice, but by the end I was glad that I caught up with my parents and had someone to talk to who a. spoke English and b. who knew me.
Would I do it again? Defiantly, but I would explore outside of the cities. Dublin and Paris were kinda dirty, but the country side that I did see was beautiful. I think that I would want to spend more time in Ireland and England as well as visiting Scotland and Whales. And change how I packed and what I packed. By the end I was very tired of the clothes that I had packed and wore. The same outfits day after day get very tiring.
I am glad that I took the time to do it. I don't think that there is really anyway that I could have made it shorter and still saw all that I did. But I did still miss things because I did not manage my time adequately.
But to see all that I did see, go to this link, to see all of my pictures. Forwarned there are about 1300. http://www2.snapfish.com/thumbnailshare/AlbumID=920896020/a=1197535020_1197535020/otsc=SHR/otsi=SALBlink/COBRAND_NAME=snapfish/
