Euro Pic Spam Ahead! (Part One)

Jul 10, 2007 22:35

So I finally got all of my pictures from Europe onto my computer! Yeah! Between my friend Allison and I, we had somewhere between 300-400 pictures. O.o I somehow managed to narrow those down to a more reasonable amount, lol, but the process was fairly arbitrary. So if some of these pictures strike you as really random choices to put up, my ( Read more... )

Those are some great pictures. I think my favorite is the Tower of Belem and the Tree of Awesome. And the monastery in Belem...okay I think they are all awesome. :D

And very pretty. *g*

Yay! Glad you liked them ... especially the tree! XD In general, Lisbon was quite photogenic. *grin*

Aw, it looks like such a place! Is that fog in the Christo Rei image?

I'm uber jealous, just so you know. Wow! :3

Nope, just heavy clouds. ^-^ It does look like fog, though ...

Anyway, thanks for looking at the massive pic spam! Do you like to travel? *grin*

I don't get to travel often but when I do, I love it.

Hopefully the next year brings me to Japan, Vancouver, Texas, New York and the UK.

Buuuuuut, realistically thinking...uh...hmmm.

I have to prioritize.

Eee, that sounds exciting! And Japan! Ahh! *swoons* I want to go there so badly. Vancouver, too--the whole Pacific Northwest just sounds beautiful, as does the UK (if you can avoid the rain that is ;p).

I have to prioritize.

What?? You mean to say frolicking about the planet isn't your number one priority? O.o

*grin*

I do hope you're able to make room for all of your trips in the midst of life's other duties! What a year that'll be. :D

Aw, these are beautiful! Belem looks so amazing...now I so want to go there. And Cristo Rei! Yay! (I want to go to Rio someday merely to see what I wrote about, LOL).

The decorated streets look so gorgeous!

Belem was an outlying neighborhood in (or maybe a suburb of) Lisbon. Most of it looked like the rest of the city, but a lot of the cool old buildings and monuments were concentrated there, too. :)

(I want to go to Rio someday merely to see what I wrote about, LOL).

I also want to go to Rio to see what you wrote about! I have this unnatural fondness for that city after reading E&S ... I almost feel like I have significant personal memories from there, as opposed to remembering something that happened in a fictional world to two fictional characters, LOL.

One of these days, fandom needs to organize an E&S tour. Like the Sex and the City tours in NY that stop by all the places that were featured in that show. Only much more awesome. :D

*blushes* That is a truly amazing compliment. Thank you!

Are you SURE you want to go here?

Yes, of course I want to go there! That's where Bruce rescued Clark, you silly travel guide!!

I sooo agree on the E&S fandom tour. I crave it. Even the Topeka! Because sure we can rest there and just relax, instead of going crazy and stressed over places where we don't speak any lenguage that can be understood and therefore we'll die of hunger! or eat horrible stuff! yes, those are my sources of stress.

I love Cristo Rey (Rei? Don't know how it's said in Portuguese) because of E&S too. I'm terribly fond of it and I squeed happily when I saw it made it to the new 7 World Wonders. Crazy Fangirl!

I love the awesome Tree pic, sis! Lol, I know it seems like a crazy pic, but I don't see flowery trees, and it looks so pretty.. and everything looks so sunny in a 'won't roast you if you step out' way! The Castle and the stairs surrounded by trees and plants looks so fantastic! I love all the locations the Old World has, it's great fodders for the imagination, and the legends are really interesting...

What was the decorating for again? I think you might have said in one of your entries, but I can't remember...

Beautiful!

The decorations were left over from a festival for Saint *runs to Google* ... for Saint Anthony! My friend and I arrived right after the festival ended, but I was happy just seeing the streamers. *grin*

The Tower of Belem was quite cool, especially the way it was just sitting out in the middle of the water ... it was an interesting union of the man-made and the natural. ^-^

And hurray! You like the tree, too! *dances*

*does a double take* It's over the water!! *swoons* Oh god, that's so awesome! ahhh!!! so awesomeeeee!!!

I might just die of joy if I ever visit Venice, not because I'm really into venice, but because water+buildings=!!!!!!!!1eleven!

Also, the hostel does look pretty cool. I really like the painting. I'm glad it was clean and pretty! hostels can be deceiving sometimes...

Agh! Venice! I don't really know what's there aside from the water and the ... buildings on the water either, lol, but I totally want to go there just for that. Some of the cities in the Netherlands, too, with the canals ... they don't look quite as cool as the Venetian ones, but still pretty awesome nonetheless. ^-^

Yeah, I've heard lots of hostel horror stories, but we lucked out with them this time around. *grin*
