From Communist Times!

I did a bad job keeping up with blogging the last few weeks in Europe so here is an extra awesome post to make up for it. Psyche, it is just the regular kind of awesome, but it is my last Europe blog and has pictures from Prague and Berlin (which I loved second best next to London).

Without further ado...


Found out how to get black and white photos on my camera so we took some on an extra long tube ride in search of graffiti in Prague.










Went glasses shopping here to add to my collection. Found some great frames from the communist times!




Obi Kanobi.


























Looking for some dinner.




I kept trying to take pictures of myself in the kicky fur hat I bought. Try being the key word here.










Berlin was amazing and, some would say, almost too much fun. It was the last time we were all going to be together in Europe and we just wanted to go out with a bang I guess.




Went to the white trash bar...






This guy was the oldest dude at the white trash bar...but also the coolest. Learn from the wise yo.






The next day we went on a bike tour around Berlin. I was feeling pretty sick but the day was beautiful and the city was awesome.

Who I aspire to be someday...












This is the hotel that Michael Jackson hung his kid out of.

Guaranteed to Be Free of Bugs

Alright! I've been home since last week on Tuesday! I told my family that I was coming home two weeks later than I actually did. My mom connived and told the sibs they were going to catch my uncle at the airport during a layover. When I came off the plane in all of my "12 hours of traveling glory" I wish I would have had a camera. My brother was so surprised that he asked me if I could stay and my sister started crying and almost puked. Honestly the best welcome home I've ever had.

I already miss Europe but nothing compares to sleeping in your own bed (guaranteed to be free of bugs), eating homemade food and having no schedule whatsoever.

I realize I slacked a lot on posting to the blog, my computer crashed and basically became a piece of junk I had to haul around for the last couple of weeks. I wonder when I'll break the news to him that I'm saving for a Mac... I will still post some pictures of Prague and Berlin as soon as my body stops hating me (JET LAG).

Stat.

Prague, Prague, Prague. After a long train ride with some very rambunctious British guys (who had smelly feet but helped me carry my bags) and a terrible attempt at gettting to my hostel on time I finally made it. Prague is probably the prettiest city we have been to so far which is why I didn't take any pictures of anything at all except graffitti and some horses. I have a ton of pictures but here are just a few from the very first day to start off. I'm too hungry to post more right now I need to get a frozen pizza stat.







Don't look guys.




Pancholicious.


Conan the pigeoun killer and his floral umbrella.








We made our own dinner in the hostel's kitchen. And let me tell you, it was a feast to behold: pasta with instant powder sauce and cheezy bread. There may have been a little boxed wine too. Always keeping it as classy as possible.








Posting more tonight....

How come you can't buy skinny jeans in any color of the rainbow in the U.S.?
C'mon America, its time to step up your game.

"Vun More Time"

We were studying in Verona, Italy for the last week or so. Our hostel was a refurbished mansion from the 1400s. The room I was sleeping in was older than the United States. Puts things in a bit of perspective don't it?

Everyday was pretty much the same there: wake up, drink coffee from a bowl, walk around/explore/get on a train to anywhere/buy fruit, come back, eat a fairly authentic Italian dinner. Here are a few pictures of Verona...





Our Australian friend who we met at our hostel on the first day...and mysteriously never saw agian.






Like I said....just a few pictures.

While we were in Verona we took a day trip to Venice. Well, first we watched a depressing movie on how tourism is basically killing the city and how old people who still live there have to walk twenty minutes just to get a loaf of bread- then we went to Venice. Despite the fact that I felt a little guilty I did have a good time. It is a beautiful city with plenty of photo oppourtunities and though I usually like to steer clear of really touristy areas Venice is just one of those things that you have to see for yourself...











This guy had some pretty intense dreads.




There are tons and tons of mask shops in Venice because of the Carnivale. Most of them looked pretty much the same except for these ones that I found which are pretty amazing.








Took some time out to people watch...

When people look like their dogs. Or visa versa.


You can't tell from this picture but the tower in the background was sinking to the left, pretty trippy to see in real life. The picture seems pretty lame now.

Johnny Cash God's Gonna Cut You Down

Pretty amazing.

Sans Weens

A couple girls and I took a weekend trip to Rimini sans weens (if you don't' get that then just understand its probably for the best). Rimini is a beach town on the coast of Italy and I guess it was named as one of the fifty greatest places to travel by the New York Times. Here is a map for your viewing pleasure.

Basically we walked around all day people watching and window shopping. Good times and much laughter as always.

I just heard that MN got a ton of snow this weeks so I feel a little guilty posting these pictures of the beach...but then again...










A local celebrity: Rimini's orange turtle neck wearing man and his sidekick the world's most giant dog.


Disgusting.


I just don't think that Bob Marley would like this very much.


Too bad this place was closed, I mean I've never had James Brown pizza but I hear its pretty good.
