Pretty much I LOVED Paris!

I was obsessed with taking pictures of the Eiffel Tower!

I loved being here!

The Louvre

Inside the glass pyramid

The ceiling inside the Louvre! BEAUTIFUL!

In the Streets of Paris

A cute little french street

Notre Dam... saw NO hunchback, quite upsetting!

Inside Notre Dam

This is like the German Bear Lake! The water was so

clear and blue you could see to the bottom!

Willy Showing his muscles!

Annemarie, me, Willy (max is taking the picture)

All of us on the beach!

This is at Heide Park! (amusement park that has the world

record for tallest wooden roller coaster)

In the gift shop being vikings!

OH it is love?!

Welcome to Quedlinburg! 1200 year old city!

Place of the first German castle, where the king of

Germany was crowned and Heinrich Himmler

(Hitlers right hand man) tried to be crowned king there.

Inside the castle walls!

Above: I'm standing on the castle wall looking over
the city 2 steps in the wrong direction i would have fallen

into the city pictured below!

buildings in this city!

This is our last night in Germany, we all went to Max's house

and we grilled burgers! This is Willy and I in Max's kitchen.

Max is VERY proud of his George Forman Grill.

I have a million more pictures, these were a jist of what you didn't see in my earlier posts! :) I left the island out of this post because they are all the same but different! We had a great time and came wait to go back!

J'ai Taime Paris

Even though I'm back home I still wanna blog about Paris! It was absolutely wonderful! I would like to start about by saying I found my inner french girl! those of you who don't know what that means I would suggest a trip to France to find out! We left Willy's house at 3:30 in the morning to drive to the airport and catch our 6am flight! At the Paris Orly airport we had to catch a bus into town... 13,80 Euros later we had a bus! Where we had to catch the metro! probably one of the scariest places ever! Since Willy and I were so early into Paris we couldn't check into our hotel for a while! (good thing we only brought backpacks) So we hopped off the metro and headed to Notre Dam... Saw NO hunchback, that was quite upsetting to me! It was beautiful inside but honestly after visiting the Magdeburger Dom this cathedral seemed slightly weenie! Next we walked clear down to the Lourve where we saw the Mona Lisa! I felt like i was in Da Vinci Code or something! The glass pyramid was really cool but smaller then i expected! by then we were tired and... slightly grumpy from the lack of food! So we stopped at McDonald's... I know I know Mcdonalds in Paris pretty lame but this was the most modern and crazy nice mcdonalds i have ever been in. After a quick lunch we walked to our hotel and crashed for about 2 hours for a much needed nap! Then we headed to the Eiffel Tower! It was SOOO much bigger then I imagined! It was BEAUTIFUL! This was the highlight of my trip to Paris! Willy and I decided to save some money and take the stairs to the 2nd level then take the elevator the rest of the way... 1665 stairs later and 3,330 stairs round trip my legs feel like jelly! Here is Willy and I at the very top!

Let me just tell you that those french love fashion and food! OOOOHHHHH the bakeries! YUM! I had the most amazing adventure in Germany and Paris and I'm counting down the days til i can go back! I don't know why we even left! I love it there and it was an amazing trip!

More Pictures will be posted about the rest of my trip I didnt blog about! stay tuned! :)

The Island!

Welcome to the Island! this past weekend we got to go and rough it German style! We took Papa Kühne's sail boat to this island and camped for the weekend! It was beautiful and FREEZING! There were alot of other people on the island but you were far enough apart that unless you wanted to you didnt have to see them! Willys friend Denny (aka harry Potter) was there so he came and camped with us for a while! It was a great time with lots of spiders and im glad im back on land!
Here is Jonas and Willy while we are heading to the island!

Me and Annemarie!

Me, Harry Potter, and Max! After a Freezing Swim in the lake!

Willy just messing around! :)

We had a great time and im glad i got the chance to go!

Biking In Germany!

Okay so I have to admit it has been about... 10 maybe 11 years since i have been on a bike. So last night Willys aunt said that I could borrow her bike while we are here so Willy and I can go in to town easier! So we picked it up rode our bikes home and everything was fine! This morning we went to ride into town and from that10 min. ride from yesterday made my butt is really sore! So this morning we are riding into town and i passed about 3 people smoking while riding there bikes...WTF! (what the fire) Who the crap does that? Im huffing and Puffing along add smoking while I ride and I would probably keel over! Mind you these are not slim or fit people. These are old people with guts!

Here is Willy and I Riding our bikes. yes I did take that picture and no I didnt crash!


Here is what we have been up to!

Döner!

Out With Friends! Annemarie and I

Willy, Jonas, max

Der Magdeburger Dom!

Its Beautiful and its over 800 years old! All stone and the detail is amazing! I love this place!

Willkommen in Magdeburg!

After a 24 hour trip for SLC to FRA we have finally arrived in Willys hometown! We have been having alot of fun and have been very busy! Here are some of our highlights!

-Didnt sleep on the flight, I had 2 hours sleep in 37 hours!

-About 12:30 or 1 am every morning here Willy and I are on the hunt for food! Its dinner time back home and even though we ate already we are hungry!

- Driving from Frankfut to Magdeburg (about 3 hours) we passed a truck that had Füherer Gardens on the side! Who knew Hitler was a gardener?!?

- Ate my first real German meal! Provided by Opa Manfred and Oma Doris!

-Visited Der Magdeburger Dom! It was the first gothic cathedral to be built on German soil! it stands 120 meters long and 101 meters tall! This is by far my favorite place!

-Ate my first Döner... I have mixed feelings its good but not AMAZING like Willy and Max promised it would be!

- Everywhere we go and have to order something Willy makes me order myself! So I have orderd in German a few times!

- I know you are all dying to know... There is no Diet Dr. Pepper here! Life Almost came to a halt when... i discovered Coca-cola lite. Its alot better then Diet coke in America!

- This is the second time i have wrote this blog... Willys home computer is old, slow, and like to do tis own thing...
I would add some pictures to show you all this cool stuff, but I have just discoverd... This computer does not like to upload! :) I will try to put some up later but.. no promises that it will work!  

The Diet Doctor!

Its the very eve of my trip to Germany... My German and I are packing our suitcases... We decide we need drinks, so we hop in the car to go to the gas station... I get of course i diet Dr. Pepper with a shot of regular Dr. pepper, he gets an iced tea (like always)... Life is GOOD! ... Driving back from the gas station my German turns to me and says the most devastating thing... "I don't think we have Diet Dr. Pepper in Germany." I don't know how to take this information. My Diet doctor is my drug! I need it daily! Sometimes more than once! So for the next 3 weeks I'm going cold turkey, maybe i can try to replace where the diet Dr. once was but... there are NO substitutes! So Whoever picks us up on Sept. 12 i hope your have a cold one waiting for me!

Just MY Luck!

Its 17 days and counting until I leave for Germany and Paris! yay! I think it was last Thursday... there Willy and I were with our friends Bree and Brian hiking up this mountain to this waterfall in PG. we were all taking pictures and having a good time! (no harm was done to my camera) haven't dropped it, it didn't get wet, NOTHING!) well the next day I go to take a picture and... This!

This is what I see! It makes a funny buzzing sound before it turns on and AHH! So now I have 17 days and counting to buy a new camera for what is going to be the best trip ever! But really my camera couldn't have broken like next month or something? It just had to be now because that's just my luck! :]
