One Month in Europe Already?!

I realize that it has been some time since my last post, I have just been so busy! For a quick overview, I have been to Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Dalmatian Coast, Stuttgart, Munich, Mainz, The Rhine River and Saulheim in Germany. I have been traveling all throughout Germany and have met many interesting people. Here are some photos until I have some more time to elaborate!

Split, Croatia. This was the first thing that I saw when I came into port at the Dalmatian Coast after my overnight ferry ride. Mate was there waiting to pick me up, at 6am! We went to get coffee, meet a friend and hang out. It was a great morning.














Apparition Hill in Medjugorje. This is such a beautiful place to relax, pray and reflect. I came here one evening right about dusk and stayed until after sundown. I watched people pass and enjoyed the sunset overlooking this picturesque village.


















Katarina and Me. She just finished her studies for the year in Zagreb. We spent a lot of time together and had so much fun. This photo was taken at a dinner in Stuttgart.














After Stuttgart, I stayed at a youth hostel in Munich. I went to see many sights, but the most important to me was Dachau. This was a truly amazing experience.














After learning about the sadder part of Munich's history, I had to relax with some new friends at the Biergarten. Can you believe that they still wear lederhosen!? This group of students were celebrating their new degrees in Electrical Engineering.




















Visiting Munich and making new friends was fun, but it was time to visit old friends. Tanja came to Davis to sublet a room in my apartment 2 years ago and we have kept in touch ever since. Last year I visited her and Bjorn (her boyfriend) in Mainz and decided to come back! We went to a music festival and ate Worscht from the Worscht Sultan.
































The weekend was over so these two had to go back to work but I still wanted to play. So, I called my friend Tina. We studied together at Davis and her family owns a winery in Saulheim. We traveled all around the Rhein River to see what we could find.














We found a secret club named Die Rampenschisser. They had their hideout in the side of a castle (and probably wont be happy if they find out about my exposing them on this blog). We drank beer with them. Pretty cool, huh??















And tomorrow, I just decided, I will go to France. Dijon is my first stop, then perhaps winetasting at the Domaine Romanee Conti? I hope so!!
