Im home!

I arrived home on June 12th... I cant explain how much I will miss it in Austria... I feel like I have to homes. Part of my heart will always belong in Austria. I am happy to be home with my family though!  I missed them like crazy!!


(The balloons have the colors of the Austrian flag)

Erica and I had a photoshoot!!

This girl is the one who I will miss the most. She was my best friend. She was just as crazy as I was, even a little more so. She made me happy when I was sad! And she was just as awkward as I am!  I will visit her soon. Because I'm having Erica withdrawals...

Class then and now

This was my class in Austria for Language camp, we took one at the beginning of the year and one at the end!


These people were the so nice and accepting. They never judged me on how horrible my German was and they always made me so happy!  I will miss these girls so much!! I really hope we get to have a reunion one day for our class :)

Italy!! :) Day 12-16

I got to finish Eurotour by visiting places in Italy. Cinque Terra (my favorite) Pisa, Florence, and Venice!!

  
This is in Cinque Terra!  It was so beautiful there, I can only descibe it as a dream come true.  We had Italian Gelato, and I will never be able to eat American Ice Cream again. Ever.  We had to walk into town because the sea was too wavy for boats. We had to walk because no cars or buses can get into the city!


This is us outside of an ice cream shop :)


I met some of the best friends I could ever ask for! I grew so close with them in only two weeks!  We are like a family!

This was a street performer in Italy. He was speaking German, but NO ONE understood him!! haha He had such a strong accent!


Each night we would sleep in a hostel. Its like a hotel for kids!  Its a lot cheaper and a lot dirtier. But it was fun nonetheless!

Italy was absolutely a great adventure!!!

Day 7-11

Andorra and Spain!

Andorra wasnt that great but me and Erica always have a good time together!!\

There was also some awesome art structures in Andorra

 And Barcelona, Spain was my FAVORITE!! Its probably the most beautiful place I have ever been to!!

 I got to be with amazing friends...

Make inside jokes...

Look at amazing views...

 Enjoy the architecture

 Take hikes...

and eat amazing food.  I know I have been saying amazing a lot, but I need to. Its the best word to describe Barcelona, that and unforgettable. 

France days 3-6

I cant believe I got to spend my birthday in FRANCE!! How crazy is that?  It was a dream come true!  The Eiffel tower was shimmering with lights and all the exchange students had a grin on their face.  It was an experience that i will never forget!


We spent 2 days on our own and 1 together in a bus.  It was difficult because during the bus tour guide would tell you about something, and we would look out the window but then we drove past it. So i couldnt see much that way!  We did visit the Louvre!  I got to see so many amazing paintings and artists!!! Mona Lisa, in my opinion, was highly over rated.

I tried to look french.... :)


I was so lucky to have the opportunity to go. I hope I will be able to go again someday. Though, hopefully next time I wont eat so many croissants ;)
