EUROPE!!!

So if you were wondering why you haven't seen me blog for a month its because I was traveling the beautiful Europe!!! I had so much fun and loved everyday... So here are some pictures from my adventure...

London, England

Buckingham Palace... No the queen wasn't there (her flag wasn't flying) but yes we did watch the changing of the guards (of course)

London , England

I loved all the small cars... I took at least thirty pictures of different brands of little cars... I got obsessed

Amsterdam, Netherlands

When someone says there are thousands of bikes here they aren't lying... I have never seen so many bikes... This was a "bike parking lot" that was three levels high and full on both sides and all the levels... It was crazy!!!

Amsterdam, Netherlands

yes we did check out the RED LIGHT DISTRICT... but we only looked... I can't believe that stuff really exists... I couldn't take pictures of the actual red light district but these little red lights dotted the area... I thought it was kinda cute:)y

Berlin, Germany

This is the Berlin wall... I loved everything about Berlin and learning about their history... It was so interesting...

Prague, Czech Republic

This was on the main bridge... Prague was way cool and all the buildings were medieval looking... I loved it!!!

Munich, Germany

We got to go to the Neuschwanstein Castle which was amazing!! The Disneyland castle was built after this castle... I can see the resenblance a little... But this castle was gorgeous... I loved it!!

Munich, Germany

We ate at the Hofbrauhaus House... and I got a big stein of water... Ha Ha Ha!!!

Munich, Germany

They put a swell on this river and surfed on it... It was so sweet to watch... I heard its extremely hard but they all looked like pros!!!

Austria

Austria was gorgeous... we only spent the day here we didn't get to spend the night... but it was so gorgeous!!!

Austria

We went white water rafting... it was freezing cold but so much fun!!!

Venice, Italy

Yes we went on a Gondola ride... it was a lot of fun and recommend it to anyone that goes there...

Leaning Tower of Pisa

It started tipping so I was trying to push it back upright... (I know such an original picture, I was only the 500th person to do it that day)

Rome, Italy

The Colosseum was amazing!!! I loved all the Roman architecture because I just love the Romans!!! Rome was just amazing... We hit up the vatican city here too... that was pretty cool...

Florence, Italy

Seeing Michelangelo's "David" was the highlight but seeing Florence was great too... It was beautiful!!!

Engelburg, Switzerland

This was on top of the Swiss Alps (10,000 feet) so we were above the clouds... it looked pretty cool...

Engelburg, Switzerland

I was wishing I was skiing on the swiss alps... but I wasn't, so I pretended:)

Lucern, Switzerland

I loved Lucern... It was such a cute little quiet town... It reminded me of Alaska with the mountains but a huge lake instead of the ocean... I loved it!!!

Paris, France

We got to meet up with my mom in Paris and spend the day with her... We had so much fun!! I loved the Eiffel Tower the best:)

Paris, France

The Arc De Triomphe (Napoleons Victory Gate)... Our bus drove around the round a bout... It was so much fun!! I don't think I would dare to drive around it myself... It was a little crazy!!!

London, England

Stonehenge was awesome!!! It was so peaceful and amazing!!! Its so indescribable and I love that its a mystery... It just makes it that much more better... You can make your own theories about it... I think God did it so that people would have to think and wonder but never know... :)

London, England

The famous Beatles crossing (from their album cover)... I know its hard to tell... but we had to do it...

I have a million more pictures but I just narrowed it down to a few... I had so much fun and miss it so much... I started to feel like I lived there and that was my life... I hope to go back again some day:)

I am so jealous! I wish that my passport could have as many stamps as yours! That looked like it was so fun. Was it just you and your sister?
