Europe:Day 10 Florence, Italy
Hello to all my friends! This will probably be the only time I will be able to use a computer for the rest of my trip, so I'll take my half hour of internet time to tell all of ya'll that I miss you very much and bought you some very nice souveniers. Here's how my trip has been so far:
Days 1-2, Landed in london basically didn't do anything other than a short walk around a park next to our hotel. London is really awesome, but expensive.. I think I spent close to 80 bucks on food and water. Cigarettes are 11 bucks a pack =/. We found out who our roomates are.. mine are Kevin miller, John Pappas, and JD Tucker. Day 2 was spent at Big Ben, Buckingham palace, and Saint Paul's. On our free time, I and a few other guys found a very interesting store.. it turns out shrooms and peyote are legal in london, so we each bought 15 grams of mushrooms and walked around pickadilly circus. It was.. quite an expierence. All in all London was a lot of fun but far too expensive.
Days 3-4 Was spent in Paris. Long story short, we went to the top of the Eiffel tower, got lost, jumped the subway toll, and walked endlessly. Paris was my least favorite city so far.. it was dirty and crouded and the people were really fucking rude. ( Its only saving grace was the louvre)
Day 5 Was spent in Strausburg, France. Nice little city, very peacful and really pretty.
Days 6-7 We spent in Switzerland... it was really really really beautiful. We went to Lucern and went to the top of Mount Pilatus. Other than that we didn't really do much other than get drunk in bars and get in trouble with Mr. Parks. "One" of the kids on the trip had a little too much to drink, and threw up in the hallway of our hotel room. Some very nice girls cleaned it up with a towel, then shook it out the window. The vomit got all over the front of the hotel, and out tour guide had to pay 10 euros for the damages.
Days 8-9 Drove 6 hours in a bus to get to Italy. First stop was the leaning tower of pisa. Pisa sucks ass. The tower wasn't that great.. I thought it was too touristy.. but Cathedral and the basilica were really neat. Now I'm in Florence, we went to the Duomo saw Michelangelo's tomb. On our free time Krista and I waited for 45 minutes to see David, we met up with JD, and now were all sitting in an internet cafe updating our livejournals.
I have three minutes left, so this is goodbye.. After Italy we are going to Turkey, then Greece! See you all in 11 days! I miss you!
