Greece

Greece was fun, I really enjoyed my time there. The Island I must say was my favorite. I loved it and have decided it would be a dream come true to live on a little Island with few people. An Island that has a mountain and then I can watch the sun go down over the ocean every night. It would be year round summer and would rain 2-3 times a week but always after 6 p.m. The ruins were amazing and I am grateful I have been fortunate enough to see both Rome and Athens nowChillin at the airport for 5 hoursI found Cinnamon gum!If you are ever in Athens this is the bus to take for sightseeing, cheap and good and you have a 24 hour pass on all public transportation

My yummy Greek salad, for some reason I always crave a salad when I travel

The mysterious cord coming out of the bathroom all, never figured out what it was for, decoration maybe!

The changing of the guards in front of the unknown soldier monument and the Parlement

Ancient Agora, which is below the Acropolis, not the Parthenon, another temple

I so can't spell the names of these, this is a part of the acropolis very nice site.

Here is the Parthenon, wow what an amazing building and view

Ruins around the acropolis and the theatre Olympus Zeus
Temple of Apollo on Aegina Island

I went looking for the other temple that was on the map of the Island, I never found it

Wow, it was a beautiful view around the coastline of the Island and it was a very big Island

I couldn't find the temple or my way back and there was no chance of making it all the way around the island. After 4 hours with no water or sunblock and nothing but abandonded buildings I was ready to drop.

Another hour later I found water and learned I had another hour walk to make it back to the harbour!



Greek Gods

I decided to have a little contest to find a Greek God!

Contestant #1 in a very rare shop on the streets of Athens

Contestant #2 had me laughing, only a man would create something like this!

The winner! My Greek God in a speedo waxing down his mini yacht, hunka, hunka!

Berlin....

Ok, I decided to start with the fun side of Berlin... The famous chocolate store with chocolate buildings in the windows, the white trash resturant and it was the guys who had to cover their heads to enter the Jewish cemetary.

These are the cute people who populate Berlin!

That store was huge and had so much stuff, I was in hunger heaven, the Vietnamese food was so good, and the farewell party.

I couldn't read it but I liked it, waiting for the 3rd train because the first 2 were running late, and me and one of many famous bears hanging around Berlin.

Standing in both East and West Germany, standing in front of Brandenberg gate and in front of one of the twin cathedrals.

Some of the amazing buildings in Berlin. The architecture there was so diverse and amazing.


Berlin has a very tragic past, and there are a lot of memorials. In the first picture is what remains of the wall. This year marked 20 years since it fell. The second is from the Jewish museum, which was a hard place to visit, I was actually ill just from what I saw. It wasn't just the jews who suffered but the mental ill, and those with diseases. There was a picture of one of the first victums of the killings, a little boy about 2 years old. The 3rd is of the holocuast memorial a very interesting momument with no exact meaning or explanation. 4th is a empty libary underground with no door, only a glass top, in remembrance of all the books the nazis burned in the same location. The last is a statue of a lady holding her dead son. We stayed and spent most of our time in East Berlin. Even 20 years later the difference of wealth is still evident but not as much as before. There are also buildings with signs of the war still. I am so glad I had the opportunity to go. Actually I am glad I have been able to do all this traveling, I have learned so much both the good and the bad. It is an experience I will never forget...

I went from this to this in 2 days!!

Jhoshelin and I enjoying the sun before church, she is a cutie!

She was trying to teach me how to pose, I wasn't very good at it!

Ok, so I was tired of long hair, it just isn't me, so I chopped it off again. Hey, I tried the long hair but it just doesn't work for me. It feels great!

American invasion

Wednesday, the fulbrights from Spain arrived in Andorra for a 3 day seminar. It was a wonderful opportunity for all of us and we had a lot of fun and neat experiences.

Snowshoeing in Pal

Ok, so snowshoeing was a lot of fun. We just followed the snow cobered road. We didn't make it to Spain though. We hit a place where there had been an avalanche. We had to stop and go back but it was a nice long walk and a lot of fun! I went with Joana the French teacher.

Carnival

Getting ready to leave.

Bea with our favorite pirate

Maria and I

I have no clue who he was

Maria, Carla and I

This is a view of Carnival. We had a lot of fun. I really had fun making my bubble wrap dress! There were more guys dressed as girls at this party, I was ready to tell them that if they wanted they could keep the high heels and mini skirts.
