For the first week of my three week break I went with my class to the Czech Republic and we visited the following cities: Prague, Kunta Hora, Holsavice, Budjevice, and Cesky Krumlov.

So guess what? I am in Vienna! Mom and I arrived today after an amazing time in Prague. But before that I was busying touring Prague and surrounding areas with my class after a blissful two weeks with Alexi in Copenhagen. I can’t even begin to retell the amazing events of the past 3 weeks. … More Missing in action!
Making coffee when light was pale a box fell on my toe I will probably lose my nail Today the rain dripped from the sky my face got wet walking to the bakery where a chocolate croissant I buy Tomorrow is Friday and then it is Saturday Alexi is here in one week..Hooray!
Today was bright, sunny, and wonderful. Too bad it’s only Tuesday and not next Saturday. Because Alexi will be here! Yay! But the sun makes everything better. And hopefully will make time pass faster too. My weekend was fun though, I attended two birthday parties with my family for some of their friends. I ate … More Sunshine

It’s the kind of snowfall that is calm and peaceful, definitely unlike the angry Nor’easters that attack Maine with forceful blizzards of stinging ice. The kind of snowfall you pray for in a country of freezing rain. After pulling … More It’s a hygge life

Why go outside in the freezing rain or biting sunlight when I can jump from place to place? In a city, the outdoors is only a backdrop to what hidden gems lie inside closed doors and dirty window panes, beckoning … More Looking through the glass
I love Wednesdays. We don’t have class but do have day trips with our classes, if they’re scheduled. Last Wednesday was the trip to the DR station with Lost in Translation. But today, nothing. Which is great considering it snowed in the morning but then became freezing rain. I’ve been able to get my work … More Lazy Wednesdays
Today I slept in after a relaxing night of watching the Denmark Eurovision song contest on TV with the family. Eurovision is this weird European thing where each country holds a live contest between 10 artists for the best song. The winner from each country will compete in Moscow for the #1 song in Europe. … More First Real Weekend
This week just keeps getting more and more interesting. From getting lost en route to the train station, searching for authentic Danish smørrebrød, arriving to survival Danish an hour late after alarm failure, riding a bike home with about 50 pounds of books, failing to lock my awesome yellow bike, watching Obama’s inauguration with a … More It takes getting lost to find your way
