I really want to go back and visit Greece during the summer some day, but since I had the chance to visit during the winter I decided to go ahead with it. I ordered a huge breakfast to make sure I had enough energy to do everything I wanted to without getting hungry before I was ready to stop. I event took a picture of it when it came to the table, but I didn't take a picture of the mess that was left after I finished eating. When I think about Greece I think ...

While in the Army my Grandad was transfered to Germany for a year. He and Grandma had just gotten married and didn't have any kids yet.

It may have cost a little more, but at least I didn't get lost. As fo...

Wow, it is cold here!! I went ice skating not long after we arrived. I'm not very good at it yet, but I had fun trying. I think I will take lessons when I get back home. After skating I took a tour bus to see the famous landmark called "The Globe". It was amazing because it looked brand new, but was actually built in the 1700's. It was while I was standing outside looking at the Globe that I realized I needed a new coat, so I went into Tromso to shop. Tr...
