It is now JULY and I am HOME and a million and one things have happened since you all last heard from me. Are you excited to hear about them? Are you salivating with excitement? I do sincerely hope so.
From the 28th of May till the 13th of June I traveled around europe.
Yes, yes, it was wonderful. It began and ended in Woerden, The Netheralnds, at a castle of sorts. The trip was really amazing. It is hard to put into words the wonderfulness. I saw so many famous things it is hard to believe it was only 17 days. It feels like forever. I also became much closer to most of the other exchange students. I really love them all so much. I find it funny that a person can make such close relationships with people when only knowing them for a short while. I really can’t imagine living without many of them in my life. They are the most lovely people and I want them to know that so I hope that they read this! También lo voy a dicer en español. Creo que ustedes son gente encantadora. Yes I did have to translate it to the correct forms on goodle translate but it is still directly from my heart! Ik ook zeg het in Nederlands: Ik vind jullie echte leuk mensen omdat jullie bent lief! Mijn Nederlands is ook slecht maar het mag niet uit! wheeee!
Directly below is a picture of most of the wonderful people whom I love.

So small story. A delightful Cristina friend of mine has her own little world inside her head. In that world I was a part of her “dolls”. There are only two other dolls and they are named Felipe from Brazil and Jas from Mexico. I am her “new england” doll. Here is a foto of angry dolls at the Vatican.

Here is a list of the places that we went:
1. Berlin, Germany
2. Prague, Czech Republic
3. Vienna, Austria
4. Lido de Jesolo/Venice, Italie
5. Roma, Italie
6. Barcelona, Spain
7. Lyon, France *
8. Paris, France
* Lyon is on the itinerary because technically we did go to there. But, saying we went there is the same thing as saying that a gas station in middle of nowhere Germany was a sightseeing itinerary worthy stop. During our time spent in Lyon we got to see the glorious inside of the train station bathroom as we hurriedly and crowded-ly tried to change ourselves into somewhat presentable individuals after enduring an overnight bus ride from Barcelona which came to a close at delightfully early morning hour. After we had “freshened up” we sat around the train station waiting patiently for our train which would deliver us to a fun filled day at Paris Disneyland. Few at the moment were thrilled by the thought.
So so so. Here is a cute picture of Tammy, Canadian beauty, and I hugging a column near St. Peter’s Basilica. 
What else must show you…

The above picture was taken in Prague. This next picture was when I woke up all early one morning and the sun was just so warm and it made our room bright and good. I also just have to add that a certain someone’s midriff is showing and I think it is funny.

Here is a South African love.

COLOSSEUM 

Blah, I am having a hard time getting inspiration to write witty things. I have no idea what it may have to do with but I will try and power through and all that. stiff upper lip…
In Prague we went to the Opera. The magic flute was playing in German but up at the top of the huge stage was a screen with subtitles in English and in Czech. Gezellig. Most everyone dressed up in a fancy manner.


Oh yes.

Upside down picture taking.
One last foto of fun was taken before Europatour even started. it was the night before Europatou began and morgan and cindy were over and we were waiting for tamita to arrive…

The end until I can force myself to make some entertaining content and the rest-ness of my Nederlandish times. Liefde altijd, Julia
