europe tour 2007

hello again...
i am so sure you have all just been dying for another post from your favorite blogster. the winds of changes have been blowing me all over the place.

just got back to the states after a two week backpacking adventure. it was absolutely. positively. one of the best opportunities i have ever had. loved every minute...well minus one short minute when a hairy-mouthed, pocket-sized, homeless parisian man, kissed my arm. eehck.

so without further ado here are a few (3 out of 500+) of my
favorite pics.

a. there's me at westminister abbey. one of my most favorite sights in London. where Princess Diana's funeral service was held and has the tomb of Elizabeth I (as well as many other influential people)

b. the eiffel tower at night. such a surreal experience. loved the twinkle lights. also ran into a real live gypsy there, who was asking me for help (but really wanted something more -- aka my money) not to worry, an angel whispered "gypsy" in my ear just as i was about to open my mouth, so she just walked away. seriously. i thought it was jennifer. she swears she didn't say a word.
crazy, no?

c. jennifer and i took a train up to the Top of Europe.
the jungfraujoch, in switzerland. v. v. cool. literally. it was quite chilly. the lack of oxygen had us all giggly, especially in the ice palace -- a room made of ice, with ice sculptures and ice-holes.




sorry, tried to upload more pictures but this computer is slower than a slug. also went to Salzburg, Austria and took the Sound of Music Tour. turns out the hills are alive after all. and the darling houses are straight out of a cuku clock store window.
