Hey all. I am just about ready to leave Vienna, on my way to the mountains. The town is called Bad Gastein. This is a German name (obviously) and I have no idea how to pronounce it. German is a crazy language, especially after hearing spanish and, more recently Italian. ILll pick up where I left off in Florence. I spent a couple of days in Florence and the area, including Cinque Terre, which are five little villages on the Med. Coast, and Pisa. The...

Hey all, I am really flying with the updates here. I just moved again, this time from Rome to Florence. Here's what's happend since I last wrote. Went on the Vatican tour and really enjoyed it, but it is sure different for me to go to a place like that as an evangelical Christian. Wow, what a difference. Some parts made me outright mad, other parts facinated and interested me, and sometimes I just had to laugh. A cool little fact for you too. If you lo...

Hey all. I am updating this website every couple of days it seems. I am really moving, and will continue to do so especially for the month of March, so I will be updating the site often.

Spent the night at a hostel and saw some of the sights today, including the Coluseum (sp), the For...

I just realized a few days ago that this year is a leap year, which means that I have one more day on my trip that I originally expected (but big deal anyway). I also just realized that European keyboards switch up the z and the y on their kezboards. But anyway, I left Barcelona a few days ago and took my first train ever. I was actually four trains because I had to change 3 times. This was made all the more interesting because I left at 7 at night and ar...

Hey everyone. I have just jumped again. I am now in sunny Spain (they lie, it isn't always sunny here, at least not today). I had a great time in Israel. Like I said in my postcard, I did go to Ceaserea, but I had one heck of a time getting there. I waited at the bus station for over 2 hours for my bus. I got fed up, left the bus station to grab something to eat, and just as I left (literally 1 minute) I saw my bus drive by. I ran and caught up to it and k...
