There are so many things I need to upload on here. I've just been lazy. But now I'm busy as well, since I'm moving to San Francisco in a few days.

It feels strange, saying that.

Moving to San Francisco.




I've uploaded one deviation... from my Europe trip. So many pics from that...

8/18/08 EDIT:
I was telling a friend about the Europe trip and my comment was so long I thought I should just put it in the journal...

well.... we didn't stay in London too long and we were all jetlagged so I don't think we didn't enjoy it as much... Oxford and Bath was beautiful and peaceful... I totally want to go back to Bath...

The ferry across the English channel was huge- we thought it would be a dingy little boat! but it was like, half cruise ship. not really. but it was nice.

Normandy was cool and we stayed in a quiet area with narrow streets and very French store signs. Paris, especially the night life, was awesome. At night every hour the Eiffel tower has tons of lights glittering for a few minutes. There were people picnicking and drinking and relaxing alongside the river in the evening. And a variety of live music. We went to this small place up on this hill, and there was a crowd of people listening to people do covers of songs like Crazy by Gnarls Barkley, and around the end they played Hey Jude and everyone was singing along! Oh, and the banana & nutella crepes were HEAVENLY!

We thought we were heading to Germany already, but it turns out the towns of Strasbourg and Colmar (sp?) were still in France, near Germany. They were alright. A bunch of people watched the final of the Euro Cup in this small bar near the hotel. OH and we had the most disgusting dinner ever... it was one of the prepaid, pre-scheduled ones... basically it was a giant lump of sauerkraut, two different kinds of sausage, a slab of ham, and a thick slab of bacon that was 99% fat! D: Oh and half a potato.

In Germany, we stopped by Heidelburg and stayed in Rudesheim. I really want to go back. It was a lovely town.. I ate Weinershnitzel, which was tender and delicious, and they had year-round Christmas stores. Their ketchup was a different formula... a little sweeter, but good. Our hotel was right next to the Rhine river. On the last night, many of us went to this small club and danced.

Oh and in between all of that there was a bit of drinking. We took advantage of the lower age limit, haha.
