Over the past few months life has been hectic. We did our Europe trip...Which I don't feel like rewriting so i'll just copy/paste what I told my girly girl!
"My trip was awesome and oddly enough the best location was Turkey.

Each picture should be tagged with the location it was taken. I'm afraid I didn't really sort them out as far as doubles are concerned so many pictures are of the same thing just from a slightly different angle.
We spent the first 2 nights in Germany with my sister, just kind of relaxing and getting ourselves on the correct time. After Germany we headed down to Venice, the GPS we got before the trip saved our lives as far as driving is concerned. We stayed in a hotel just outside of Venice proper and as we had to board the cruise boat th next day we decided to try and get most of Venice proper done that evening...We ended up getting all of Venice done as we got horribly lost for nearly 5 hours. I've never been to a more confusing place in my life, it was literally a maze. We eventually made it back to our hotel outside of Venice proper and we decided not to risk going back into Venice itself as we might get lost and miss our boat.
We got on the boat and of course as it was a cruise it was awesome =P our first stop was Croatia which is what I was most excited about, and Croatia was absolutely gorgeous. The war was like Caribbean blue but the weather is more or less like Southern California there, so perfect all year round. Our second trip was to Turkey which I didn't really what to expect from, but it turned out to be the best stop on the trip as far as historical and just plain unique goes. We saw Ephesus and also where supposedly the Virgin Mary died and also some of the new accomplishments of their country as they're trying very hard to become a modern tourist country. After that we ended up going to two Greek isles...I've not got much to say about that. Greece I just plain didn't like.
After we got off the cruise we headed up to Rome which is where my first pizza horror story goes. My brother can't read which is what you first need to know, second thing you need to know is I can hear. So my brother orders Salmone pizza...He read Salami and I heard Salami, so instead of a typical Salami pizza we got Salmon and oh my goodness. Imagine a pizza with literally fillets of Salmon on it. It was horrible. We got it to go and ended up using it as Frisbees on the way back to our car. We figured some of the cats might like it.
Rome was more or less what you might expect, the only thing unexpected about Rome was how good their subway and train system was. Absolutely amazing, so we actually covered all the major stops in Rome in a single day. The next day we did all of Vatican city. Vatican city is kind of cool if you like art, but then same can be said for Rome...I don't like art though hehe.
We then drove up to Lago Di Garda which is like a Germany resort town in Italy it was pretty, but nothing particularly impressive, just a massive lake with markets around it. However, this is where pizza horror story two comes in. This time it was a problem with translation. "Speck" is like, bacon fat in German. I love Bacon on my pizza and so I figure these are Italians, they probably aren't translating it correctly, they probably mean Bacon...Wrong. I order that thing and it's a gorgeous looking pizza covered in RAW bacon fat. That fat was maybe cooked just enough to get the distinct taste of raw pork stuck in every inch of that pizza. OMG, couldn't eat even a single piece. We spent the night there and headed back up to Germany.
After that we hung around in Germany with a lunch day in Austria and eh, that's it more or less. It was a great trip."
Then of course...I came back and lost my job...This sucks, no money down to my last $90...=( Petrol is expensive again too. =(
I'm trying my best to get into University of Southern Indiana come this fall...But not really, that's a little short notice for me and my girlfriend. I hope to truly get in come Spring of next year. We'll see though =P
That's all that's new though, so meh...
