The first day we got here we were able to go see the Louvre. We stood in this massive line that wrapped around the Louvre, and the Louvre isn't small. Luckily it moved fast, Rica timed it and it took about an hour to get through the line which isn't back considering how big the line was. It was absolutely amazing to be able to finally walk through the Louvre. Of course I went to go see the Mona Lisa which was so congested it felt like a mosh pit. Once your were in you were literally stuck. Hard to get a picture. Then I went to go see some other really neat statues. You could spend days in there but I got lost a couple of times and went in circles so I called it good. I saw all the important things I wanted to see. We also walked over to see the Notre Dame cathedral which was really really cool. We went inside and they had just started mass and heard someone singing. It was nice and serene compared to the hectic outside world. We decided to go back and wait at the Louvre's shopping center/cafe area until it got dark so we could see the pyramid lit up. Well we waited until 10:30 and finally found out that they don't light it on that night for some reason. So to say the least.. we tried. Maybe next time I can see it at night :)</div><div><br /></div><div>The next day we headed to go see the famous arch and of course the Eiffel tower. We missed our stop on the metro and had to walk a ways to get to the arch, but we found some really cool buildings along the way. We finally got to the arch and then headed to the Eiffel tower. WOW I was more then impressed with the Eiffel tower. I didn't really know what to expect, but it was definitely better then I could have ever imagined! I will come back someday with Nick for sure and we will have to go to the top and it will be so romantic :) Paris I would say is definitely for lovers.</div><div><br /></div><div>It's hard to believe that my Europe trip is almost over. It's really crazy to think that it has been a month since I started this journey. Nothing could have been more perfect on this whole trip. Except of course if Nick came with me :) I will be back someday that's for certain it's so beautiful here :)</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7LT1Yoc0eyGzcNEL_FnI3BRw6ZZaRsVWPxZqh5LnyVcqHNKzSDitMX-njjagNrW5eSPE-7GxGEDC_tjQw72Wtq0grLQKQJtHGCXOfMNsqXli1g-qv4hlUTI-IhcBPIQh4UtTGKCtvbIhG/s1600/rainbow+tower.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;

I really love the city of Rome I would have to say it's one of my favorite up there with Venice. It's so amazing to see just how old these buildings are and all the different centuries they have stood. We started by going to the Spanish steps and got a really great view of the city. Amy and I then went to the Borghese Museum which at this point in our trip was another classical museum with more classical paintings and statues. But it was good to go see. We then went back to the Spanish steps to get the other view looking from the bottom up. It was SO crowded there. Lastly we had to go to the Pantheon and that was really amazing to see. The building has the streets built up around it. At that point our feet we so tired we were ready to go have a break. Later that night we went to see the colosseum at night all lit up. I'll have to post those pictures up later. </div><div><br /></div><div>Now we're in Paris and we go to the Louvre tomorrow :)</div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4o71rBLMy7ZE8ahvoWF9VzXkv4E0e3nNILJiicfddG8Sa8jJYcIs2y8OhKL-ItAdmW5eiRjQE4VtiM3j3T-QXUL7BCLIDl3ieUYUy7ZSKxLt8xF532GbthAAktzVPLZ5zuUmjain89tkE/s1600/the+PANTHEON.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;

Guys here have no problem being grabby when it gets crowded GROSS. Luckily this probably will be the only time we take the metro. We arrive at the Vatican and head straight for the Sistine Chapel. The halls of Vatican Museum are nice and all but we had a mission and so did everyone else. We wanted the Sistine. It was super crowded when we finally got in and of course they were yelling NO PHOTO! So you just have to not be obvious about the shots you're taking. I did so good until I wanted a close up of the famous touch where God touched Adam. Then some random lady tells me no photo citizens here really like to enforce the law themselves ha ha I got some decent shots though :) It was really incredibly to finally see the chapel. It's really big and I can hardly believe Michelangelo did nearly all of it by himself. We sat there for quite a while until we moved onto the next place. On our way we found this little gelato shop. Oh my gosh! They gave us so much!! It was overflowing and absolutely delicious! I'd say about the size of a softball. That filled us up so we continued on to St. Peter's Basilica. This place is HUGE and gorgeous! There's really so much to see in there it's hard to absorb it all at once. The square we passed getting there is the famous one that's in the Da Vinci Code. It was really cool to see. We headed home after that and will go see the Pantheon tonight!</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh13tELESl0F5m3Nn_vLg0oRbzo5d7JInVlp8tT9GZqQhKV12tuSs0nz1N-QyhoEkDdIppq-XVc87VMemmLbtOABKtvYUcQe596uuWwoXpe-gV0zDo0ANjg0DlF9V3lBcxsJPJilj6Rz1BJ/s1600/where+st+peter+is+buried+6+floors+under.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;

Rome is definitely one of my all time favorite cities. There is so much to see! We started the day by going to see the Roman ruins and Colosseum. Wow..... it's so amazing to see how old Rome really is. I could have spent all day at the ruins it was so interesting and the colosseum is so incredible too. I was not disappointed the least I can say. </div>Pictures really don't do them justice, but I couldn't help but try and capture the moment. Luckily the sun was hiding for most of the day which was really nice since we were outside all day. We still got tired after the Colosseum and decided to go have our own siesta before we cam back out at night. After a nap we went to go see the Trevi fountain at night. I wasn't expecting for it to be so big and majestic! We went around 10 pm and it was so packed! I really loved it, and yes I did through a coin in :) <div><br /></div><div>Tomorrow we go see the Vatican :)</div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjrArRrwfke9jHkb0ovlivDnXIuaHTn6rvwFJNqOqO5pTR0gzbSt0CVq522S27Gx7FG_8j76MuMQOJoCl2aBQ8L_2hpKn0l0wLzhQWH6PjqmAxxCsBdyQ4h5X7C9FfPFOTdiIm4Pam-N4g/s1600/waiting+at+the+colosseum.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;

The cool thing about that is it was in a tuscany scenery and not touristy at all so we got to really see how the locals live. However, the drive there is a little less then desirable lots of twists and corners on a usually NOT air conditioned bus. But we survived and really it wasn't too bad. We walked all over Florence and got to know the streets pretty well. There were lots of street markets to see. By far the BEST thing that we saw in Florence was Michelangelo's David. I walked around the corner in the Academia and there he was it really took my breath away. It's almost 17 feet tall which kind of gives you a perspective, but really you can't get the true awe inspired feeling unless you see it in person, which I highly recommend :) That was the last thing that we saw in Florence of course we also went to the Uffizi Gallery and it was pretty cool, but you just can't beat the David.

We didn't get to see much, but this Duomo is beautiful! It's the only picture I was able to upload from this stinky internet, but I think it was my best one anyways. We were looking for a place to eat when these two guys approached us and started trying to persuade us to go to their restaurants. Each one was from a different restaurant, and well one could speak better english and was a little bit more persuasive so we went with his. We were not disappointed, but we did feel a little bad because the other guy didn't seem to win any of these battles. The guy kept filling up the restaurant with more people. After that we walked around and looked in the shops along the streets and it was fun to see how creative they are with their displays. Since this is a fashion district I was not disappointed. Next we headed to Florence.<div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEishCoN_eOm9hjM0A4I2Nd3X_5PAubjnbGm9D_jpPseAM1Djn1KUsdn_nNd8S3oxxdrgRzWqtMVY2EZO-pl-ichOMMn05jNVXY8GBtDcxgheglvFlPMbMznqep8JHbEAjCFZxoVZ00LAibX/s1600/duomo+milan.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEishCoN_eOm9hjM0A4I2Nd3X_5PAubjnbGm9D_jpPseAM1Djn1KUsdn_nNd8S3oxxdrgRzWqtMVY2EZO-pl-ichOMMn05jNVXY8GBtDcxgheglvFlPMbMznqep8JHbEAjCFZxoVZ00LAibX/s320/duomo+milan.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623665830538616722" /></a><br /></div>Jill Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08193662642939768847noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672373091148031950.post-12850113172943500322011-06-24T06:38:00.000-07:002011-06-24T08:24:10.110-07:00Venice<div>We left St. Gilgen and headed for Venice on the 21st. This city is by far my favorite I have seen so far. It so majestic and interesting. Everywhere you look you see scenery worthy of a photo. Really you can't take a bad photo in this city. </div><div><br /></div><div>The next day we went to La Biennale which is a really famous art show where most of the world participates in and is held in a different country every couple of years. It was really current art and extremely interesting to see. Probably one of my favorites. It's huge too and is all over Venice so we didn't see it all. but we got to see a good portion of it. </div><div><br /></div><div>Another museum was on the schedule for the next day. The Peggy Guggenheim collection in Venice. There was a lot of famous artists in this collection everything from Picasso, Matisse, Kadinskey, Dali, Warhol and so much more!!</div><div><br /></div><div>Today half of the group went back to Vienna for the remaining time while the rest of us stayed here in Venice, because tomorrow we head to Milan, then Florence, then Rome, and finally Paris! It's Rica's 21st birthday today so we went to the beach which was a complete fail because it got SO windy. It was really cool to say that we got to see it at least and I got some pretty sweet shells from the trip. Then ended it with some relaxation and blogging.</div><div><br /></div><div>Tomorrow is Milan!</div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeE-HNv9OVtsmxb8sP-7Pr8EbWxk1m2iFKWBt50ZlB5ss5JaweRsUXaPkOtjmhOxWEKtp1hOhqzoDvZDa3-hyQ2Sj96n-zm0oLjnZz_se4VGBrtTqGcKgUPhjXoY5LXQ8sn4Ei3tclqhz2/s1600/gondalas2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;

It's absolutley beautiful and secluded! So that's why I haven't been keeping up on the blog very well. It was really nice to have a chance to rest and take a break from all the sightseeing. It's hard work ;) We took a day trip to Salzburg where a lot of the Sound of Music was filmed. It was really pretty there as well. Here are some photos!</div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3Yjb-9iftdz297G5zQWebB6FRSdrfz8UfJ8W2SxKt4ziiJhEEi8pKEd3xD-LIUm6WZ8eexntliHs70BB8wrT7NLmWZiMF8tkQZ11XBcOEceeyNedptwtuBBbY1h392h1cMIRUqqdEJwlt/s1600/tiresleaves.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3Yjb-9iftdz297G5zQWebB6FRSdrfz8UfJ8W2SxKt4ziiJhEEi8pKEd3xD-LIUm6WZ8eexntliHs70BB8wrT7NLmWZiMF8tkQZ11XBcOEceeyNedptwtuBBbY1h392h1cMIRUqqdEJwlt/s320/tiresleaves.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621502798916311154" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">leaves over the dock.

Apparently there is a strike going on all the public transportation today so we had to a some extra walking. We started off going to the Alphons Mucha. I didn't know a lot about him before, but now I love him! He is a graphic designer from back in the day before computers. He also did paintings and drawings, but I have so much respect for him. We ate lunch and then started towards another museum that's barely worth mentioning plus the ticket lady was so angry that we didn't have exact change. My favorite part of the day was when we headed to the dancing buildings. They're really famous and cool looking. The building is used for apartments which I think is pretty cool. Tomorrow we head to Salzburg! </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioWDkAg_HRuhadUtj7Y5NhFgNJJ17iU5h9nhbOoI4Tnb3mPTdBLZ4F-CnyD14QpUTTzjkbMyVDBldUEQWM-H7vG4PPgf1F2SNPIs0ca2MRz7fXN4Kac7pnv4F4ZADuYBCqXpFDGoWfumDh/s1600/window.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioWDkAg_HRuhadUtj7Y5NhFgNJJ17iU5h9nhbOoI4Tnb3mPTdBLZ4F-CnyD14QpUTTzjkbMyVDBldUEQWM-H7vG4PPgf1F2SNPIs0ca2MRz7fXN4Kac7pnv4F4ZADuYBCqXpFDGoWfumDh/s320/window.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618923287185318994" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">designs by mucha I really loved.

It is a very interesting city. It's a lot older, dirtier, sketchier, and still so beautiful. We are only here for 2 days and we have already seen so many great sites. There isn't too much to see as far as museums, but the buildings are really fascinating. We started off going to the town center. It seems like their are only tourists in this city. The natives here really don't dress near as nice as the people in Venice do. It was really interesting, but we continued on to St. Vitus cathedral where they have gargoyles on the building at it's very gothic style. You can see from the pictures how pretty it is. We then went to an authentic Czech food dumplings and goulash it was delicious! We shopped around and headed home. I'm still on the hunt for my European pants! Side note the gelato sucks here :(</div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhje73c0n6egxi4p4YItUHd3PN45fcGCo2sCkgu4x8jrG2hrF3wQwt5FPDZkAlKrDDLvPs5geXdy5wzJF9pNbeYskKdr2VJbxvS3CSurehLUsnB1-t2UybuZ4-EHcIum9F6vmEZbAcX4zWL/s1600/window2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;

It's been go go go since I've gotten here and it's been really nice to not have so many things planned. So I went with a group to church this morning. It was a really good meeting. It was in English so I was able to understand most of it. They talked about being humble and it was really good. Made me really miss Nick though. So after that we went to the Albertina museum where they have picasso, matisse, and many others. It was by far my favorite museum. It was really cool to see these painting. I wasn't able to get picture of the actual paintings, but I got some of the inside of the museum. I also found an artist that I really like Paul Signac. Really cool. Tonight I'm going to get some spaghetti ice cream. Don't worry it's just shaped like spaghetti it doesn't taste like it. Tomorrow another palace!</div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWVoFQHf1x0hQ_vy5sjW1Qu-GHQBK0AQeZKunb89_KgbpebQtTuqBbu5h_-Er5C97PUMn3g3p1MbWh4CvB40g2eSJNsV9RwKAQierAGsy33yB1DFixMfuIGPffCcyDE38MnFMi2UKSCTpz/s1600/knudel.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWVoFQHf1x0hQ_vy5sjW1Qu-GHQBK0AQeZKunb89_KgbpebQtTuqBbu5h_-Er5C97PUMn3g3p1MbWh4CvB40g2eSJNsV9RwKAQierAGsy33yB1DFixMfuIGPffCcyDE38MnFMi2UKSCTpz/s320/knudel.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617375309358175282" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">tomato kanudle ( I know I slaughtered the spelling) SO good!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_AllQ-vKQaWiKo5_uHbSiM4eAH5oaEhtuHpeVOw5nQPROM6BegpWQfmkaEZuqYa-ZbGTJb3o6lOpqwDggTJdw5uIcJewODvgXDLZtgywO2uAh9P6haM1t7pAALhLaHn-MZuFpYBDw3K7Q/s1600/chandelier.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_AllQ-vKQaWiKo5_uHbSiM4eAH5oaEhtuHpeVOw5nQPROM6BegpWQfmkaEZuqYa-ZbGTJb3o6lOpqwDggTJdw5uIcJewODvgXDLZtgywO2uAh9P6haM1t7pAALhLaHn-MZuFpYBDw3K7Q/s320/chandelier.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617375299699863714" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Chandelier in the museum</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt-pAt7-uzVZov1rxTYFCTu_-IZLKpCytd3QByq6qXn2joKuMAN7EhjEDY2TMsVZH00Yw4-u6BeRWCVD4WPaCi_4jcOLqDraDrqgkI5ljGzdo47CHCcIR8JBeV3tTV2Q3ExpljnHHdaCDl/s1600/albertina+museum.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt-pAt7-uzVZov1rxTYFCTu_-IZLKpCytd3QByq6qXn2joKuMAN7EhjEDY2TMsVZH00Yw4-u6BeRWCVD4WPaCi_4jcOLqDraDrqgkI5ljGzdo47CHCcIR8JBeV3tTV2Q3ExpljnHHdaCDl/s320/albertina+museum.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617375295502378146" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">hallway in the museum</div>Jill Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08193662642939768847noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672373091148031950.post-55429174607965816482011-06-11T10:33:00.000-07:002011-06-11T10:49:00.074-07:00Flea Market<div>Today we started the morning off with a flea market. It was very typical with really cool antiques and a whole lot of junk! After that we headed to the Belvedere museum where "The Kiss" is at by Gustav Klimt. We weren't allowed to take photos in this museum they yelled at you if you did. So I didn't even attempt it this time. The outside I think is more interesting then the inside. It's so gorgeous and I couldn't get enough of it. We then headed to grab a bite to eat and then headed to the Modern art museum. It was very interesting and I really like it most, because it's free on Saturdays. By then I was really really burnt previously from the bike ride and then from today. I think I got dehydrated or heat exhaustion or maybe both so I headed back a little early and had a nap. Tomorrow we're going to try and catch sacrament meeting and then we're off to see more!!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1vEsIRzaLNgX6m4GcYQCbDP8SjHItonnhnJ4T683btwjPChIfqdMhpUptqhg-J5YelFV0hyphenhyphenAvYlC_zEBRxhqf8OYskK3QRejpEK0JiJ9MeiIxnkxzK8M0LC-LbqKenQ6E5X16fGjce-B9/s1600/museum+side.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1vEsIRzaLNgX6m4GcYQCbDP8SjHItonnhnJ4T683btwjPChIfqdMhpUptqhg-J5YelFV0hyphenhyphenAvYlC_zEBRxhqf8OYskK3QRejpEK0JiJ9MeiIxnkxzK8M0LC-LbqKenQ6E5X16fGjce-B9/s320/museum+side.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617017942995569538" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">The Belvedere museum</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTqamF9lCm7z97inMGW_6S5W1onxBOYi2YQdUxWI_aoYo-y0rfQSXB5J2CRPeGfTvCTiSIB_SULwrarCcKLmA1awwigk2mE7PFShjtisVMuE-oYRS2zx5iwHwrPR-I1bMeDP3mpiau0C98/s1600/museum+klint.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTqamF9lCm7z97inMGW_6S5W1onxBOYi2YQdUxWI_aoYo-y0rfQSXB5J2CRPeGfTvCTiSIB_SULwrarCcKLmA1awwigk2mE7PFShjtisVMuE-oYRS2zx5iwHwrPR-I1bMeDP3mpiau0C98/s320/museum+klint.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617017937450946114" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">frontal view of the Belvedere museum</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUsl2dNZGmS_waDy51sDGN30ca9ZoovvQmXnWI7YxFk7dh0DH8BigVNer_6RZ-lv3T4JB1uvSb1RSJBTQWqmip5vA6egZ9z_mZAvErdFEYfsIzke40wBpVBt60qc0R_9Qu4RQt6rS1IdXt/s1600/water+fountain.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUsl2dNZGmS_waDy51sDGN30ca9ZoovvQmXnWI7YxFk7dh0DH8BigVNer_6RZ-lv3T4JB1uvSb1RSJBTQWqmip5vA6egZ9z_mZAvErdFEYfsIzke40wBpVBt60qc0R_9Qu4RQt6rS1IdXt/s320/water+fountain.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617017926758444082" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">fountain at the Belvedere</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5CAmPBPtjloxZOVePgxAtZlDZxB8mUOe6wygqQaK_ZBMG6POc4YskeDe5cglEcRkh6KkpiurVQ-zFH1OcMcpPZ0mLzPb3vGt7RT6ld2LrG1obbfi8_chissKQxdpZiPQDiz5s6OUFTuWh/s1600/me+and+museum.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5CAmPBPtjloxZOVePgxAtZlDZxB8mUOe6wygqQaK_ZBMG6POc4YskeDe5cglEcRkh6KkpiurVQ-zFH1OcMcpPZ0mLzPb3vGt7RT6ld2LrG1obbfi8_chissKQxdpZiPQDiz5s6OUFTuWh/s320/me+and+museum.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617017919107976242" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">me before I'm completely fried</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKFEJDQ8Hv0NnR-4AGTwIf4BYDEN9-Xc9Px-A4mdnn7hAG1RbuZe-AQ20fqcXKKaKutqQjn7Y6zkuNTHe3RKrKiRlQbxRAaB9VfWr5b01DgKvGhESgild2S6jprqGQO215lSTmFS91gURi/s1600/black+gate.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKFEJDQ8Hv0NnR-4AGTwIf4BYDEN9-Xc9Px-A4mdnn7hAG1RbuZe-AQ20fqcXKKaKutqQjn7Y6zkuNTHe3RKrKiRlQbxRAaB9VfWr5b01DgKvGhESgild2S6jprqGQO215lSTmFS91gURi/s320/black+gate.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617017915510031378" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">cool gate with the fish eye</div>Jill Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08193662642939768847noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672373091148031950.post-31009977485392272212011-06-10T11:36:00.000-07:002011-06-10T11:49:08.654-07:00Bike ride down the Danube<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';">JUNE 10th</span></span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Today we went on a bike ride down the Danube. It really was so much fun and truly incredible to see this city that we went through. We stopped at 2 places and tasted wine and it was so nice that they had grape juice too! It was really good! The town was really something that you would see in a movie with vineyards climbing up the mountain and cute little houses. We stopped in the middle and played beach volley ball which I must say I have a pretty good serve! It was a long and really enjoyable ride and I really enjoyed the scenery. I think I have fallen in love with Vienna it is such a fantastic city! :)</span>Jill Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08193662642939768847noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672373091148031950.post-52863888188872606592011-06-10T11:08:00.000-07:002011-06-10T11:35:27.677-07:00Bike Ride down the Danube<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqTAteeRmT1EG7h5B9HxG8VRO6WYuTjd2bhTbZuF5RRx4JCbBv3rWz4a3b94jwt4SFqXT3aTEkd9ROMOUY_kwmXxrCWcc4_NVGd6-XipQuCjD50j7uBKTh4Tjj9mbr2K2vZg8oRjv2y2V0/s1600/wine+glass.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;

It was really fun kind of like the farmer's market in Logan. The buildings we passed were absolutely beautiful! The architecture is so fun to look at it really is incredible. Also we passed the succession building and other important buildings that I have already forgotten what they were exactly.</span></div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';">After that we went to a modern art museum and saw some very interesting and paintings and posters some from the succession. Then Rica and I went to go explore on our own and we found an H&M it was I think 4 stories and incredible! I found me a nice European hat ;) for 7 Euros. They also had this gorgeous Swarovski crystal store that had sculptures and other things made of the crystals. We headed back shortly after that, because the shops close so early here Kind of a short day, but I'm really looking forward to a bike ride down the Danube today!</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';">I wasn't able to get on the internet last night so that's why this is late. </span></div></div></div></div>Jill Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08193662642939768847noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672373091148031950.post-73707275625366080112011-06-08T10:08:00.000-07:002011-06-08T11:12:43.617-07:00Day 2<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBE8-HEGp-bPOJm62v6tDUQ9N8YRm3t0pCEK2cO6skudg4wpRJSkn67Ls3jc3d5odV_XGK56VHmoffHcF0Wd3ejiAP2hp9kCz-hb2ADJC_xuaeHRxygEXaEHqCT493qGwwGmOcy9wDPjgQ/s1600/museum+building.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left;

We start to go and then some wind picks up and it gets under the umbrella and some people umbrella went inside out. Amy the girl who was under my umbrella said forget it and ran to the palace which was about 2 blocks away. So I hold the umbrella close and run as fast as I can. There were many spots where the water was 3 inches deep. It was crazy! I was drenched everywhere, but the top of my head and face. I have pictures where my hair is kind of curly and that was because it was wet. My jeans were soaked!

It is the town center and is really famous in Vienna. It currently is have the soot cleaned off of it so most of it is covered up. The funny thing is they cover up the part that's being reconstructed with a picture of what it will look like. They do this for most of the famous stuff that they are renovating. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC3WbPuBcybyz91BTAEvy1zRCd8tJaRGyNF_7dOt6pxG3nhvd4fsYFgY64s2Iq_hLa4Bm6JRUu27g5diPdipCtBzIdrk7IgTcCOSetcqtXI2G7-lF_9hKAK5L0NfFHBzhBmsGaBw75kxyI/s1600/beautiful+reflecrions.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC3WbPuBcybyz91BTAEvy1zRCd8tJaRGyNF_7dOt6pxG3nhvd4fsYFgY64s2Iq_hLa4Bm6JRUu27g5diPdipCtBzIdrk7IgTcCOSetcqtXI2G7-lF_9hKAK5L0NfFHBzhBmsGaBw75kxyI/s320/beautiful+reflecrions.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615579582363800514" /></a>The next thing that we do is head up the stairs. Sounds simple right? It's around 350 stairs in a tiny spiral staircase (see below). It was hard to have people pass us going down. It was a work out, but well worth it because of the view we got when we got on the very top. The picture of me with the door is at the very top of the church. <div><br /></div><div>After getting some pizza we next headed inside the church. It's gorgeous! These pictures don't really do it any justice, but the reflections of the stained glass windows were bounding off the walls every where. That was probably the highlight of my day it was really amazing. We then took a tour of the catacombs of the church. Kind of creepy, but very interesting. The first had caskets for the more recent deaths of Bishops and other people, but we got deeper and they showed us the remains of others. You could actually see their bones lying still with some of their clothes remains still around them. We went a little deeper and saw these rooms with stacks of bones from all the black plague victims. It was weird to see hundreds of femur bones stacked and a couple of skulls here and there. They weren't originally stacked, but they did so because the remains were sticking up the church so they went and cleaned the bones off and then put the back and stacked them. We of course then had to go get some gelato. It's so delicious here. I can't get enough of it! I also tried what they call the state drink "Almdudler" I say it's a mix of ginger ale and appleish. It's definitely different, but I really like it. We explored more of Vienna and went back to our hostel after a while. It was a very interesting first day!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpUKhYaDzoII3vTrrow4gk_-wIjEV6E198NwxtrvyvL_EJOFSftWmbntw1x0Jf1fLT9aoAxoO_WXef_O5ElRCIYM4pNLFADoHWPwpSq-cArK2bepgswy-kOeGMOVFMOLPX9e_9HTgRsETw/s1600/me+and+door.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpUKhYaDzoII3vTrrow4gk_-wIjEV6E198NwxtrvyvL_EJOFSftWmbntw1x0Jf1fLT9aoAxoO_WXef_O5ElRCIYM4pNLFADoHWPwpSq-cArK2bepgswy-kOeGMOVFMOLPX9e_9HTgRsETw/s320/me+and+door.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615579574809653778" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnUtYyOW5UZco4xxX7wMk8BLUqrB2rIXNZ1aAcgh7WlEZUakSIw8kQbOez8klRlZ3Il-36vMFyDyzsD1ZsVNuQMgnOVybJHb8Z0Ry4RQ2jBDDjELkuOzUylbQuufGe8G5riN0LgfPSKK8K/s1600/stairs.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnUtYyOW5UZco4xxX7wMk8BLUqrB2rIXNZ1aAcgh7WlEZUakSIw8kQbOez8klRlZ3Il-36vMFyDyzsD1ZsVNuQMgnOVybJHb8Z0Ry4RQ2jBDDjELkuOzUylbQuufGe8G5riN0LgfPSKK8K/s320/stairs.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615579562569263298" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKBxoZKptWWZOVYv_nxGyhjM24Pqb2VlyVWXO-ufRevwytThumdE_x-QCqCnmMM6PJqGhDllPpIPwiT4Dwx7u3uJwb7Jfk4pTmFFc2DhbpDrAYcNCS-2NEysNbZzBH1-ciO65rFrgZLykH/s1600/cathedral.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKBxoZKptWWZOVYv_nxGyhjM24Pqb2VlyVWXO-ufRevwytThumdE_x-QCqCnmMM6PJqGhDllPpIPwiT4Dwx7u3uJwb7Jfk4pTmFFc2DhbpDrAYcNCS-2NEysNbZzBH1-ciO65rFrgZLykH/s320/cathedral.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615579554385950242" /></a><br /></div>Jill Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08193662642939768847noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672373091148031950.post-12644739414702699682011-06-07T12:49:00.000-07:002011-06-07T13:20:31.197-07:00the Hostel<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPndE0KOWRSrAOzH450TQEz93vUVe24FFFnzFxXRtt_J7K3IfbOb1v8OA4gabfSGcyvqYeqjYiDTozqlO_21tc3eTgWScru36O10gLXCp7642Apz7-X3jYl2_ztlnVoTTI8tiAcPNQO0UC/s1600/down+the+street+of+hostel.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPndE0KOWRSrAOzH450TQEz93vUVe24FFFnzFxXRtt_J7K3IfbOb1v8OA4gabfSGcyvqYeqjYiDTozqlO_21tc3eTgWScru36O10gLXCp7642Apz7-X3jYl2_ztlnVoTTI8tiAcPNQO0UC/s320/down+the+street+of+hostel.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615574211719188594" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXkXf-vdDtH4MKuOB6A7Fy75yYNKXXZ59XcKWtpCAT5GMnTb9Oka-tEwdIKriT7e0G3b0ZYnKNrcNJMvC1Vc4L961G9ER2LUUiguLrN9iO9QAToWFZiRGf9zDF4JvFu69DIb_X3jFSNJ17/s1600/1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXkXf-vdDtH4MKuOB6A7Fy75yYNKXXZ59XcKWtpCAT5GMnTb9Oka-tEwdIKriT7e0G3b0ZYnKNrcNJMvC1Vc4L961G9ER2LUUiguLrN9iO9QAToWFZiRGf9zDF4JvFu69DIb_X3jFSNJ17/s320/1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615574204281402098" /></a>These are pictures outside the window in our hostel.

The Polish people really have it right we all should do that. So far everyone that I have talked to have been able to speak English as well. Which is really nice! Makes me think I really should have a second language. Maybe German? The hostel I'm staying at really isn't as bad as I thought it would be. As you can see by the pictures below.</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; min-height: 15.0px"><br /></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'">Everything in Vienna is really old! I love it. There's so many details to look at, it has so much character. A lot of the doors here are really tall and ornate. I will have to get some pictures of them soon. I'm still adjusting to the time zone and everything so I'm turning in early.

I really like the flow of the spread and the layout. However, there are going to be some things I change to it. I'm going to change the green to a yellow. I also am going add one of the eggs to the corners and enlarge it so it runs off the eggs on the right side page. I think that will give it what it's missing.<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi81r_AVdcFwphIl_u5fjl6fFTKZFtPOWcYsI0GP3Lks4EgRvjTwsXWsnngEBORkZB0EXqLUH3MLJB1Bl2i_qM-tk10EuaRw70XQp7ohGj2vPimx1ZlFKzvezRAPkgkp9spXZmTnWp3ypb6/s1600/spread+1.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 211px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi81r_AVdcFwphIl_u5fjl6fFTKZFtPOWcYsI0GP3Lks4EgRvjTwsXWsnngEBORkZB0EXqLUH3MLJB1Bl2i_qM-tk10EuaRw70XQp7ohGj2vPimx1ZlFKzvezRAPkgkp9spXZmTnWp3ypb6/s320/spread+1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548865970948660450" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">I really liked this spread especially the title.
