Realization and visiting Dain
Yeah, so I just kind of realized that I'm not really going to have had any break between the end of last semester and the beginning of this one. I'm pretty tired on the whole, what with translating and helping in the OR every day here and then we go out at night and they try to make me drink... We get back at like 10 and I just go to bed. Of ( Read more... ) -
Nicaragua
Yeah, I made it to Nicaragua. I'm so very tired though. Left Sweden Thursday morning, flew to Copenhagen, then connected to Madrid no problem. In Madrid, I had to stay from the time I arrived at about 9 in the evening, until 11.30 the next morning. I ended up in a space that a bunch of mexicans had been claiming every night for the past while ( Read more... ) -
Tekniska Museet
I am currently in the Tekniska Museet in Stockholm Museum stealing their internet. Woo! This museum has an awesome robotics section that makes me really happy and I want to play with everything. Tomorrow Jer and I are supposed to meet up with Dain and check out more of Stockholm. I'm very excited because I'll also get to meet Pauline, his ( Read more... ) -
Austria
Yeah, I'm in Austria. Vienna, to be specific. Today is kind of rainy, but at least it's not damn hot. Today we ran through some mazes/puzzle things. That was awesome. Tomorrow we go to Germany. A few days ago we were in Italy, specifically Venice and Cinque Terre. Before that was Interlaken, Switzerland ( Read more... ) -
Paris
I am in Paris and the keyboards are fucking retarded. Jeremy is laughing at me. It is impossible to type, so I am not going to say much. I mostly just wanted to make note of the fact that I posted my Peru pictures at http://elene.dahners.com/photoalbums/peru.php, although I just figured out that one is missing somewhere towards the end so they ( Read more... ) -
Sevilla
Today we took our first trip on the Eurail from Madrid to Sevilla. We also spent at least an hour waiting to make reservations for tomorrow from Sevilla to Malaga. They use the "take a ticket and wait" method here. It was rather boring and annoying ( Read more... ) -
Beginnings of an amazing trip
Ahem, I am sorry to those of you who had hoped to live vicariously through me in Peru, but unfortunately I was very busy almost all the time and the internet wasn't so easily accessible that I wanted to be on it every waking minute. I'm going to try to do better. To those of you unfamiliar with my summer, I am currently in Spain. Family trip for ( Read more... ) -
A lot to do
So, I'm back from Peru. I got back Friday and drove basically straight to Saluda. I was so tired, but it was so great to see 607. Now I'm attempting to see everyone and get everything that I need to get done in one week done. I need to upload a bunch of pictures and stuff, but currently my computer is in pieces in the playroom because our ( Read more... ) -
More than halfway
So, I've been here for more than half my visit. I have 10 class days left... of 16. Friday morning we leave for a long weekend in Ica, where we'll see the sun for the first time in two weeks. It's so cloudy here... all the time. Class is class, though 316 with Leo is rediculous because we're so far behind our syllabus and our test got pushed back ( Read more... ) -
Lima
Lima is good. I've learned to take the micros, which are buses, to class. They're exciting. I have one class at 9.25 and then a break, when I go do homework, and then another class at 12.05. This makes me want to also get a donut and hot chocolate during my free time as there is a combo at the Dunkin Donuts stand in Larco Mar. I've only done this ( Read more... )
