We found the bus stop and waited around for a very long time for the bus to come and take us to our campground outside of Venice. There was a very large group going, and we got to talking to a lot of them. We found two guys from University of Michigan and amazingly, one of them knew a girl I went to high school with. He worked for her dad, in fact. It was pretty bizarre. The campground was nice, but it seemed like most people only socialized with the people they...

Nothing like getting four hours of sleep before heading out. We had planned this elaborate journey for the day, but after discovering that we could catch a train from Prague to Venice with only one change, we realized we could take a quick nap before checkout. After having breakfast and chatting with Connal, we left our bags with the front desk and went back to Prague Castle. We viewed the cathedral and decided that it was exactly like the Dom in Koln, Germany. O...

All the instruments were there, along with descriptions of how they were used, and drawings of what it looked like when a person was being tortured. Pretty horrible. Th...

We made it back to the hostel and talked with our new roommates for a while, had...

A bit of confusion on the way here. Becky and I took the train into Germany and were supposed to change trains at the Koln HBF station. I saw Koln Es---- and figured it was probably the same station. It wasn't. We quickly found ourselves at a tiny station with one light post and no idea of what to do next. There was nothing around us save for a few run-down houses and country side. Scouring the train schedule, we were delighted to see that another train would ...
