Well. Paris was wet and i was sick…and I was jet lagged and had been awake for well over 40 hours…but Paris was a really cool city. I did the whole boat tour, went up the tower, and ate at the hard rock. Then we took a boat ride up the Rhine, now that was pretty fun. The Rhine is a beautiful river surrounded by beautiful country side and little towns that were really really cool. There are castles everywhere. I recommend a boat ride up the Rhine to anyone wanting to experience the French countryside.

This place is sweet! Too bad I cant find any of my pictures. You go up this really really long steep incline railroad type thing. When you get to the top the view is breath taking. There is a cool little restaurant on top too. While we were up there some swiss guy was all dressed up blowing on his big horn…don’t know what its called…but it was cool.

My friend and I ran up diamond head with our shirts off and got a lot of stares from old Asian men. The view from the top it worth it. There is a little roof thing you can climb up on at the VERY VERY top…its fun to stand on and..take pictures..and whatever else you want to do.

Unless your scouting babes, this beach is extremely over crowded ALL the time. They do play movies on the beach every once and a while..which is kinda cool…maybe. There are far better beaches with far less people in my opinion.

It’s your typical over crowded city, except confined on an island. Pretty interesting place though. Grab a bus pass and go exploring.

If you want to be a typical tourist and have fun in a over populated city for a week, go stay in Waikiki. If you want to have a “Tropical Vacation”, I recommend NOT going to Oahu, but rather one of the other Islands. If you want Volcanoes, go Big Island.

Just decided to stop by and say hello to Mexico while I was in California. Dirty city right on the border…didn’t seem like there was much to do. Rittled with poverty and people trying to sell you things. I was young when I was there…might be more interesting now…but I’m sure there are SOOO much better places to go to in Mexico than Tijuana.

Stopped in Lima for a day on my way to Iquitos. Seemed like a fairly normal south American city. Weather wasn’t that great, but there was a star bucks! There are some markets you can go to and buy lots of cool things very cheap. Like a big comfortable Yak fur blanket. I got a shirt, and some pants. IF YOU GO TO PERU DRINK AN INCA COLA FOR ME :) :) :)

What a beautiful city. You could spend a whole day in the Gardens from the Sound of Music. Mozart was born here I think. I kind of remember alot of drinking..and small chocolates with liquor in them.

Switzerland is probably the most beautiful place I have ever been. Luzern is a wonderful city that I would defiantly go back to. When I was there I took a boat ride to Mt. Pilatus. Here is a picture from the boat ride.
