Paris

And I'm off to London!! Its expensive to get there but I have someone to stay with (my cousin) so things will balance out I think. Not much new to report, just killing time til my train. Oh, and I shot a roll and a half of Paris last night, but would you expect anything less of me?

Paris

Well, already things have changed. I hit Cannes and Avignon instead of Marseille. Apparently Marseille has high crime especially at night and I was planning to spend the night on the street. Also, now I think I will be in London for new years. I am burned out from all the travelling and stress. I need a break. But I am enjoying myself. Have a good new years.

Nice

Alright, here is my tentative itinerary for the next few weeks:

28 Nice, Marseille
29 Barcelona
30 Barcelona
31 Paris
1 Paris
2 Luxembourg
3 Bruxelles
4 Amsterdam, Rotterdam
5 Frankfurt
6 Munich
7 Vienna
8 Salzburg
9 Innsbruck
10 Zurich
11 Interlaken, Zurich
12 Bern
13 Geneve, Zurich
14 Copenhagen
15 Oslo
16 Oslo
17 Winnipeg

Well, there you have it. I may switch some things around and hit London for a few days. I still have to decide. Well, enjoy your new years. Hope you had a good Christmas. Mine was quite nice, albeit alone.

Rome

Hello from Rome! I have made it and have a place to stay for 2 nights. I have received a huge blessing. Someone in Mexico decided to give me $300! That is why I am in a place tonight instead of on the streets. Praise God! Mom and Dad, be sure to thank him profusely. To all you in Ecuador, I am jealous. I miss you all and wish I could see everyone again.

Well, Venice was amazing. It was so laid back. The entire city had the feeling of vacation. It was also the closest I've felt to Lima in a long time. There were panetonnes everywhere and I had stracciatella ice cream on the waterfront. So relaxing. No gondola rides though. They were €35. Take care everyone. Merry Christmas, in case I don't get back on before then.

Leipzig

Well, after Copenhagen, things have really picked up. I had a great time in Germany. Saw a bunch in Berlin like the wall and the Reichstag. In Wittenberg I saw all the Luther stuff. In Leipzig I saw Bach's grave and the church where he was choirmaster. And even more, but I'm paying for this time so I'll keep it short for now. I'll be in Rome for Christmas.

Stockholm

Ok, so everything is working. I dropped off my bags at the house of one of my friends from Nordfjord. Now I'm in Stockholm waiting for my train to Copenhagen. It has been an interesting night. Bad planning got me here at 8:00 pm and so I got to see the night life but it left me without a place to sleep. The trainstation closed at 12:30 so I was out in the snow for a while. Then I found a 7-11 "thank heaven". So I spent 4.5 hours talking to druggies and reading a book I picked up. Good times. But Stockholm is a great city. I got some wonderful shots of the king's castle, the parliament, House of Nobility and some cathedrals. I also saw the Nobel Museum (unfortunently it was closed) and the city hall. All impressive architecture. Now I move on, hopefully with better planning. Today: Copenhagen, tomorrow: hopefully Berlin and maybe down to where a German girl from Nordfjord is. I will spend a couple of days there being guided in a very beautiful part of the country.

Nordfjord Folkehøgskule

Well, this is it. I am leaving the school in a couple of hours. All my possesions are in two bags. I must now finish saying my goodbyes.
