vienna
today i was just sitting on some steps of a monument in vienna and a 42 year old gay guy came up to me and started chatting..the conversation covered guys, sex, gay bars, and he thought he would teach me how european women act toward men and the cultural differences in europe..it was interesting but quite odd..i didnt know if i was supposed to be weirded out or not..haha well i am working on posting pictures check back soon..

hello from austria
hey!
I have been having an absolutely amazing time here in europe..i started my travels in London last weekend with my friend and his parents..i got to see london in a whole new way..we did the traditional english dinners and afternoon teas, it was so lovely and made me fall in love with the city even more..Monday i went to Nice and when i arrived it was beautiful and sunny..the next two days were cloudy but the last day there it was sunny and warm...it was a nice place to relax, i even finished an entire book there..i met a bunch of australians there and i hung out with them a bit, other than that i was on my own..but i enjoyed every minute of it..then i met two san diego guys one of them works in old town and he said he would give me a discount so i have somewhere cool to eat when i get back...the thing about traveling is you meet so many really cool people and it is just so hard to keep track of them all..hopefully facebook will keep me connected.
last friday i would begin my journey to munich (home of octoberfest)..my train was supposed to leave at 10am and go to milan connect to verona and then to munich..but things did not go as planned..my train to milan was last and i missed my other two connections..these were vital for me getting to munich..so basically to sum it up, i was stuck in verona by myself at the train station until 1 am for a night train to munich..i didnt get any sleep at all..and when i got to munich at 630 am i toured the city with full force..the funny thing was i decided to go check out verona and when i got there i realized i knew where i was..it was the place of romeo and juliet, where juliet's balcony is located..absolutely crazy that i remembered where i was and easily found her house and the opera house near by. and of course i got gelato, a panini, and pizza while in italy during that period of time...
Munich was so much fun..i felt like i was actually in the movie beerfest..no joke..the people there were so lively and would drink one litter jugs at a time of local beers..it was insane..along with the beer gardens which were everywhere and full of loud and lively characters. we also saw the crazy sights where hitler was almost murdered, and where he began his walk to berlin to take over the country..it is crazy how much history was there..i wanted to make it over to the concentration camp nearby but i only had a day..next time though..if anyone wants to go let me know!!
this morning i took a train from munich to vienna where i am now!...i met a guy in munich who was thinking about traveling to austria..i convinced him so today i had a travel buddy! we walked around the city but hopefully tomorrow i will go on a full tour so i can learn the history and efficiently see everything..
tuesday morning i go to london for the last night of my trip and i will be home in the desert by 7pm weds night..its exciting, but also a bit scary to go back home after doing things so differently here..anyways i will talk to you all soon..byeee

Blarney Castle was so much fun! the gardens and forests around it were beautiful and we spent hours around there climbing trees, exploring caves, frolicking and taking a bunch of funny pictures..i really loved ireland and the pub we went to was one full of a ton of locals, not tourists. it was amazing with live music and lively characters, guinness, baby guinnesses, drunk people, and us..we taught some people how to line dance..it was definately good times..the crowd was pretty old though haha we definately stood out amongst the 30 and 40+ year olds..haha oh well it was incredible..
us in the circle of rocks that is thought to keep the evil spirits out
us frolicking like fairies(well more like crazily jumping)
us pretending we are on broomsticks in the witches kitchen
and of course we went to the Guinness Brewery

Prague pictures
are up! go look! The city was beautiful and nearly everyone spoke english and was really nice..also the exchange rate was wonderful!
friday we took a 6 hour city tour for 900 krowns =45 usd..which included
1 hour river cruise
a 3 course czech meal
a tour of the entire city
a ticket for a ghost walk
it was amazing! so the vegetarian specialty there is fried cheese! like woah..i love cheese but that was just weird..it literally was a block of cheese fried like mozzerella sticks..it was actually quite tasty but i felt like if i lived there i would die within a month of a heartattack..seriously eww haha so greesy and so fatty..it makes me glad to be back in england haha
the jewish quarter was really cool we went to the cemetery which had over 100,000 people buried there..but it was so small...they would lay a layer of pottery down and then bury people in layers..kind of creepy but it was really cool..
alright well i would say more but i gotta get ready for Othello at the Globe in London..i leave in 30 minutes..byee
