Aran Islands

Some cool facts to start,
The population is of 820 people
The Island is 9 miles in length and 2 miles in width
There are endlesss stone walls dividing the countryside
There are cows, horses and goats everywhere and a couple of sels here and there
The hand knitt coture sweaters are something expensive yet worth it (110 euro) (35 on sale, got that one)
Cliffs that will blow your mind
A blue Flag that in european standars means that its is clean and swimmable
We got to the island on a ferry ride that was about 45 minutes long
Our tour guide pointed out: a round house , a square house, the bggest horse in the island, the only house with a basement, the smallest church, the chickens in front of a bar that has been closed for 16 years to give you the idea on how virgn these islands are that these were some of the intereting facts, oh and Leap Year, the movie, was filmed here on the islands.
We had great photoshoots and our bus tour was definitely the way to see the island because the guide knew the fact the stops and it was the warm and fast way to do it for the reasonable price of 8 euro for 3 1/2 hours. In my pinion better than the bike rental that was 10 euro. Photos to be attatched!

I Salute You

Through first had experience I know how hard it is to plan out a trip. Imagine planning out a trip for 40 people, and staying on schedule. Galway is just another wonderful example of it. We left April 26 2013 at 7:45 am from the Park Hotel headed to Galway. However we made a couple of stops before actually getting there, the Cliffs of Mohor among them. I wante d to dedicate this post as a thank you to everyone who made this trip possible, not once in my lifetie I thought I would be where I was today and in the best way possible. Trips can sometimes be exhausting but the way we carried through was pleasant and exciting because everything we saw was unique and grand. I'll make a post for each place, and let you see for yourself, however I wanted to first of all give credit to our benefactors, The Kieths, Steven our bus driver and the Dubgarvan Council.

London

I have found a city I would live in, I only have to make sure I get paid in pounds because it is expensive one. London is a big enough city to have all kinds of people meaning all kinds of interests are present. It is a city you could never be bored since there is always something to do and it is pleasant i thought. I liked walking around and seeing everybody dressed as if they were going somewhere in the sense that they were wearing clothes and not sweats, because it made you wonder what were they off to. Maybe ill be wondered about too. I also got to see my friend from high school. National Gallerie is a must...Van Gogh and Klimt and James Van Eyck and Monet and Da Vinci...and many others

Frankfurt

Well, before we made it back from Berlin and Prague, we stopped by Frankfurt for we got the best flight out from there. It was a happy mistake since there is a  great old town square that looks as Gabbi described it, "a Switzerland town". I thought that was funny since we were in Germany. However I learned Frankfurt is the home of apple wine and they have a typical pitcher to pour it in, shown below. Here is where we found out the airport was 2 hours away and since two of our friends were coming on the late night train we were in trouble, because our flight was first thing in the morning and the first bus in the morning wouldnt cut it to get us on time, therefore we had to take the last bus however outr friends coming on the train might not make it. Therefore we planned ahead their train came at 11:10 and the last bus left at 11:20 therefore we had 10 minutes to get them get their tickets and get them at the bus int he bus station. We did trial runs before they came to get time and routes right depending on what side of the train they were and we spread out on the platform to find them as quick as we could since we had no way of communicating with them. In the nd we made it but it was a hassle of a day planning that. The bright side we got back home and we also had a story to tell when we came back.

Catching up to Prague

I can see why Prague is called the Golden city, it felt like you are in an old luxury own where it seems that either everyone was well off or everybody had good taste in architecture cause all the buildings were impressive or peculiar. Exploring by ourselves was I feel the best because we were truly exploring the world and everything and everywhere we went was new. It reminded me of being a child again, and enjoyed it.  Here are some images of the city. We dd have some rough patches like the traveling back was quite interesting since we planned a time schedule however since it turned out an airport was 2 hours away from the city it got us hustling through Europe for our lives. The fact we got back after all was an accomplishment. Taught me to research lil bit more before we travel.

Berlin Time

Of the things i did in Berlin these are my Highlights:

Berlin Dom

Sachsenhausen

Matrix Club 

East Side Gallery

Holocaust Memorial 

Bradenburgh Gate

Third Reich

Potsdam Platz

And definitely have to eat Curry Wurst it is one of those street gems, plus college budget friendly.

A guilty pleasure was THE TRAIN STATION PASTRY. Pretzels, and all the desserts i dont know how to spell or write. I will do some research.
