Sorry... too busy to blog!

I'm having a great time. I have gone to Munich, Prague, Amsterdam, Paris, Nice and now I'm in Barcelona. I have met a pretty girl to take up all my time. I know you all will understand. Here are some pictures in the mean time:

 Florence, Italy and I am under the replica of the David by Michelangelo

On the top of the world! Eiffel tower again!!!

Leaning tower of Pizza?

Well, I saw it and I took that corny picture. I had to do it. It was really cool to see but Pisa is somewhat of a boring little Italian city. I didn't realize that it would be so far away from anything. There was a very nice cathedral and a some other stuff, but nothing really noteworthy. I liked how I gave up a day in Florence to see it, but in the end it probably was worth it for this amazing picture.

Tuscany wine is superb.

So the other night we got to wine taste in Tuscany, Italy. It was only a few miles away from Florence where we where staying. We got to try lots of different wines from a family owned vineyard. I think I got a little tipsy to say the least. I bought some bottles to bring home, but they are long gone by now. On the way back we had a surprise stop at one of the Michelangelo's David's which overlooked  Florence. It was breathtaking and somewhat unreal. I have included a picture of me at the wine-tasting.

Mitchell from Modern Family

Check out the picture I took of Mitchell while in Vatican City!

When in Rome .... Do as the Romans do!!!

Rome is historical. The buildings are big and made of marble. I think..... Yesterday we went to the Colosseum and the Roman forums. Last night we went out on the town .... EuroBash. It was some random party we found that was in the Ghetto of Rome (Great). It was fun and all, but we had to walk back to the hotel which took hours. I think I got back to the hotel around 4 AM. Today we got to Vatican City. The Sistine chapel and St. Peter's square. The Sistine chapel amazed me, I didn't realize that Michelangelo painted it all in 3D. I also didn't realize that God and Adam was only a small part of the ceiling. For all those Modern Family fans, we ran into Mitchell. He said, "Don't look at me, look up!". It was pretty funny.


Corfu is beautiful

We got to stay on a resort on the beaches of Corfu for a few days. It was so quaint. It was relaxing to not have to do any sight seeing. We went to two different beaches each day.  We went out one night and people went skinny dipping. One girl got stung by a jellyfish and had to go to the hospital. Old town of Corfu was kinda disappointing, but we had a weird Greek food which may or may not have been called Macaroni sandwich. The second day we went to a beach on the other side of the island and got a tour of some caves. I have included a picture of us on the boat.


Delphi: Know thyself and Nothing in excess

Delphi was a very cool Ancient Greek site that we got to visit the other day. This is where many cultures of the world met and worshiped Apollo. The famous oracles are known to have gave insight to many people. We learned that there is actually a natural methane fault line that many believe the oracles inhaled to make their predictions. I have included a cool picture of me in front of the ancient amphitheater.
