2007 Trip to Europe
16 days traveling Europe -
Notre Dame Cathedral
Went to Notre Dame Cathedral today. Didn't get to go inside the line was really long and the food they're serving us is pretty bad so we decide it was best to find something to eat -
Lunch
Found a nice little bistro by Notre Dame so we decide to have lunch. -
Effiel Tower
We walked up a huge amount of stairs to get to the top of the Effiel tower. It was a beautiful view and we even got to see a man propose to his girlfriend. -
carcassonne castle
Went to the south of France today and got to spend some time at a medieval castle almost bought a sword, but we're not allowed to have them in our luggage. -
Train Ride to Barcelona
Didn't take any pictures today we were just on the train all day. Four people crammed in a tiny little room is not a good thing when you're traveling for hours without stopping. -
Barcelona at last
Finally off that horrible train. Thankfully our tour guide Marco is letting us relax and do our own thing today. I went to the Aquarium and then to the open markets to go shopping. -
Guell Park
Prettiest place in Barcelona. The architect made Guell park as a resdential neighborhood for wealth families, so they could live closer to nature and farther from the city. Nobody wanted to move that far from the city, so it became a public park for everyone to enjpy. Everything here is made out of recycled material and covered in mosiacs. -
La Sangria Family Cathedral
This is the coolest church I have ever seen and its not expected to be finished until 2050, and they have already be working on it for 20 or 30 years. The building is covered in images from the Bible including the crucifixion -
Back in France
We caught on a Bus last night and traveled back into the south of France. We stopped in Cannes and finally got to spend a day at the beach. -
Italia
Finished the bus ride to Pisa, Italy and got to see the leaning tower. Sorry, but it is not as spectacular as everyone makes it sound. -
The Statue of David
Found out the statue of David that is outside in the square is actually a reproduction the really statue is housed in the museum and it's a three hour wait to see it. -
colosseum
Went to the colosseum it is so cool to walk around. The sad thing is people have been damaging the building by writing their names on the walls. The were getting ready to have a concert, so the stage was being set up over the old colosseum floor. -
Shopping
Marco let us shop in Rome today. We got to see local art students decorating the sidewalk. Marco said students were required to spend one day earning money just like past artist did on a daily basis. -
Pompeii
Pompeii is just amazing with the beautiful architecture and mosiacs. It almost spooky to walk around and see homes and businesses abandoned with everything still inside. -
Gelato in Firenze
Went shopping around Firenze and had the best Gelato ever. They make it fresh every day and with all natural ingredients, so it blows ice cream out of the water!! -
Last full day in Europe
Traveled by boat to the island of Capri to spend the day shopping and walking the perfume gardens. -
Getting ready for the flight home
We are all packed up for the flight back to the states. I decided it would be fun to get a picture of everyone together before we left the hotel.
