It is so bittersweet. I am not ready to say Goodbye to Switzerland. I have made such great friendships and have so many amazing memories here that it's so hard to leave. I am ready to be home for summer though. It has all gone by so fast that I don't quite know what do now. It has truly been the most amazing experience of my life, hands down. It's something that I will always remember for the rest of my life and be able to look back on my life and say "Switzerland changed me". For the last week, besides focusing on finals and papers, I'm just focusing on cherishing the time we have left and the friends who I'll be saying bye to. But in one week I'll be home in sunny California!Ceele Dennishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14174980942435105946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105496892135269627.post-31875506648677007522010-04-01T04:41:00.000-07:002010-04-01T05:00:26.498-07:00Last Trip of the Year!

The next weekend, for the last travel weekend of the year, we flew to London to visit Natalie! We had booked a super cheap flight a few months back and applied to stay in the London Pepperdine House. However, a few days before leaving we found out that we did not get a spot in the house so we needed to book a hotel or hostel somewhere close by. Well, this was no easy task. After much frustration and stress we finally booked a quite expensive hostel that was no less than a 2o minute walk from the house. We got to London and decided to hang with Natalie at the London house before going to the hostel, of which we arrived at at midnight. I can't even find the right words to explain how disgusting the hostel was. For close to $200 we paid to sleep in a room with 4 other random guys who we had no idea would be in our room, the beds were barely big enough to fit your entire body, and bathrooms were no where in sight (except for communal ones down the hall that had naked boys and disgusting wet floors covered in hair). Needless to say all I wanted to do was cry, or go home. But going home wasn't a possibility so Alex and I, out of sheer fear, slept together in the same bunk bed (of which was covered in mold). We set our alarm for 7am and woke up and got the heck out of there. Luckily, our prayers had come through and we were accepted to stay at the Pepperdine House for the next 2 nights. Such a blessing!!! For the next 2 days we spent time walking around London, seeing Parliament, Big Ben, the London Eye and Westminster Abbey. It was such a great time and I absolutely loved London, mainly because it is a European city that speaks English so I was able to get myself around! Imagine that. I hadn't seen Natalie much over Christmas break and I was so excited to see her. After spending 3 days with her I realized how much I had missed and it only made me even more excited for next year when we will all be together again back at Pepperdine! We always have such a great time together. Although, by far, my favorite part of the weekend was seeing Lion King on stage in London the first night we were there. It was absolutely spectacular! The costumes, singing and music were fabulous and I was blown away the entire time. This was something I have always wanted to see and now that I have I can say that it was one of the best things I have ever spent my money on.<div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Ceele Dennishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14174980942435105946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105496892135269627.post-27096203217120764232010-03-22T06:52:00.000-07:002010-03-22T06:56:14.510-07:00Apologies for the Lack of Commitment to the BlogOk. So after having found out that more people read this blog than just my mom, I thought I would apologize for the lack of commitment to the blog. I have really been slacking off and not writing details as I did before. Things have been crazy busy over here so I only write when I get the chance and usually it's not a lot of time so I have been keeping it to a bare minimum and just discussing details over the phone. Anyways, thought I would apologize for the uninteresting blog and hope that I can only explain these things when I get home. It will give us something to talk about right?<div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Ceele Dennishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14174980942435105946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105496892135269627.post-26726077115165022462010-03-14T05:39:00.000-07:002010-03-14T06:05:23.020-07:00Spring Break<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqcqAjLNz1DMTNqX7NCZTyCHPlgx8TGBbUTs_ao77qPJX4DukrEvneFfb-lJ2G9xpuOAxOKboYpPOi8sPW8S4fJsReaNwhenFcPS0nl8I0hKvd23eoYEyeo3t6gH2Y8egy6wBjpkyzqmGK/s1600-h/IMG_0629.JPG"><img style="display:block;

Of course, not thinking about weather conditions in February we chose to go to North. We did Northern and Southern Ireland, Sweden and Denmark. In Belfast, Ireland we stayed with a family that Andrew knew and they had the cutest little house with 5 kids and were the best family ever. Super nice and cooked us the best meals. After Belfast we took a train to Dublin where we stayed for 3 days. It was so cold but so beautiful. We took a bus out to the countryside and it was just as you've seen on TV. Absolutely green and rolling hills of Ireland that everyone imagines. This was by far my favorite part and we got to see the places where Braveheart and PS I Love You were filmed. From Dublin we flew to Stockholm, Sweden and this was the coldest city we went to. It snowed the entire time. However, the city was really neat. Stockholm is made up of a ton of tiny little islands that are connected by small bridges. So there are bridges that go over the Baltic sea and separate all the little islands. It was really cool to see the city but we spent most of our time inside cafe's or the movie theaters because of the constant snow. From Stockholm we took a train to Copenhagen, Denmark. It frigid cold, but snowy so it was a little nice. This city is right on the water too and is known for its waterways with old boats and such that line the streets. It was my next favorite city after Dublin. We walked around the city mostly and then enjoyed our Marriot hotel. Amy found an amazing deal at the Marriot so we stayed in a super nice room which was a nice way to end the trip where we had stayed in cold hostels every other night. We slept in, got warm and watched 3 movies in the hotel room and still managed to see Copenhagen. I was so glad that we had actually taken the time to relax at some point in our trip. Had we not, we would have been so exhausted when we got back. <div>It was such a long trip so I don't want to bore you guys with details, but it was an amazing time and I saw some places I would have never seen otherwise.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Ceele Dennishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14174980942435105946noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105496892135269627.post-57941609410294044792010-02-15T08:30:00.000-08:002010-02-16T02:56:01.236-08:00Greece<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQAip2IKf_PKtNEqSpTEDxGQvVNdfB3F7fl2B5Qo0TJn3_iVv6rZeMaqlfVqaMHSfwN8PvEmvdfWKXOlfw3EZIY2wtIZ9Vexbm1gI47zcYZkfJ2WLJm03OGu6Sy1f0tVMKbrxS_8CVyauA/s1600-h/IMG_1154.JPG"><img style="display:block;

We stayed on the mainland in Athens and took a boat out to some of the small islands on one of the days. Greece was so awesome and crazy and fun. I love traveling with the whole group because you really get to make some close friendships and strengthen the ones you already have. Last semester I saw it happen in Corsica and I had been looking forward to it in Greece. We left Monday morning and split the group in half on two flights going over. We arrived at our hotel, threw our luggage on the bed and opened our curtains only to see the Acropolis and Parthenon sitting atop the hill right outside our window. It was one of the coolest things to see. The first thing they gave us when we got there was 8 hours of free time to explore the city. I chose to go with my professor to Mars Hill, the place where Paul gave his famous speech to the Athenians. We walked up to this mound made out of marble that had a steep staircase to get to the top of, so we all climbed up while holding on because it was so slippery and when we got to the top it was such a beautiful view. One direction was a clear view of the Acropolis and Parthenon, the other was the Agoura and on the other side was a complete panoramic view of Athens, Greece. Of course we stood up there taking pictures for quite some time and then finally we took a moment to let it set in that we were sitting atop the very hill that Paul had once preached from. Being the Christian group that we are, my friend Amy had a bible in her backpack and we sat on the hill as she read the passage of Paul preaching on that same hill. That was such a cool experience, especially since we read the passage at dusk and got to see the view at sunset.<br />The next few days it decided to rain on us but luckily we were in the shelter of tour busses driving us around Greece. We went to ancient cities and ruins and ate the best food of our lives. On the third day we took a boat out to the islands of which I was really excited for. Turns out, it was a little bit of a let down. Since it was winter many of the shops and stands were closed and the weather wasn’t all that great. Also, I was expecting the white houses with the blue tops and the glistening blue water that I’ve always seen in pictures of the Greek Isles, that is not at all what we got. Things were definitely white with blue accents, but it looked nothing like I had seen in all the pictures. They were still really cute and pleasant islands though. I just wish we had been able to go to Santorini or Mykonos (the famous Greek Isles).<br />At the end of the trip we strolled the morning markets and bartered with people and bought fresh strawberries and eventually headed to the airport. There is so much more to say about the trip but I don’t want to drag it on. I think I got the general gist of it out though. The pictures will tell all.Ceele Dennishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14174980942435105946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105496892135269627.post-35335211296474634112010-02-13T09:44:00.001-08:002010-02-13T09:45:40.060-08:00Florence<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0Zwfw0WUoaerMYHR09bixh2HIAeZB6-ka8k_oeevjqtAkIPtSmBp0JvvVibVcb9waJebcGo5UyPOsbJV1KJYE_4BuV7vnkeZ5lkvWTRoZ2V0DgxCDQSGiKwfnd_sTMfTetfZHflJb5kvI/s1600-h/IMG_0300.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 304px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0Zwfw0WUoaerMYHR09bixh2HIAeZB6-ka8k_oeevjqtAkIPtSmBp0JvvVibVcb9waJebcGo5UyPOsbJV1KJYE_4BuV7vnkeZ5lkvWTRoZ2V0DgxCDQSGiKwfnd_sTMfTetfZHflJb5kvI/s400/IMG_0300.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437785631807425970" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLtONvaALN5IuDuiJ0cheIX64PEuyMUwZ1BMf1fj0GhEv_xq4CkLtpeN0jcaQiToFXP03aLUXMtVaeAXCJKqJyGlpDy2Tsspgmt7jt7tWP741fmSw-iZnJGh7eL-EHng2zaCkfWO8xEZ9r/s1600-h/IMG_0294.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLtONvaALN5IuDuiJ0cheIX64PEuyMUwZ1BMf1fj0GhEv_xq4CkLtpeN0jcaQiToFXP03aLUXMtVaeAXCJKqJyGlpDy2Tsspgmt7jt7tWP741fmSw-iZnJGh7eL-EHng2zaCkfWO8xEZ9r/s400/IMG_0294.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437785628028339426" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj546gRmf1rHxnDzJBAMM38szkmoigvjEOodQYswrmntaaTQQzf5tdzK6GLmJilISS_y5NuPvrYcMpKWanxU47jWgG8PzfaE3HJebE1U5BCruapOCJaghnt3UDZ4UzvHkGbVoLGSLrVMXJw/s1600-h/IMG_0293.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 298px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj546gRmf1rHxnDzJBAMM38szkmoigvjEOodQYswrmntaaTQQzf5tdzK6GLmJilISS_y5NuPvrYcMpKWanxU47jWgG8PzfaE3HJebE1U5BCruapOCJaghnt3UDZ4UzvHkGbVoLGSLrVMXJw/s400/IMG_0293.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437785616109629122" /></a><br />Florence has always been a city that has been talked about highly and I knew I definitely wanted to visit Florence while I was in Europe. Pepperdine has an international program in Florence as well and if you travel there you are welcome to stay in their Villa for free if you can reserve a bed. So luckily we applied early enough so that we would get beds in the Villa and we didn’t have to pay for a hostel, which was so convenient. Also another perk was that we know a few of the kids in the program so they were more than willing to show us around the city all day and take us to the trendy dinner joints at night. Our suitemate Allie from last year lives in the Villa so it was really nice to be able to see her again. We arrived on Thursday night and stayed until Saturday at which point I went back to Lausanne by myself while the rest of my group went to Venice for Carnevale. I wasn’t too excited to go to Venice so I just decided to come home and have a day of rest before we headed for Greece. So on Friday we toured the city and saw the Duomo, the David and the Uffizi gallery. I enjoyed walking around a city where so much history took place. Having learned about the Renaissance, the Plague and everything else that has happened in Florence it was cool to see the city. I had always heard such great things about Italy, but to be honest I wasn’t that impressed with the city. It felt so dirty compared to Switzerland and the people are much more easily irritated and some of the streets are just too sketchy. I was completely fine only being there one full day because I felt like it was like long enough to see everything I wanted to, get some good food and wine and come back to Switzerland. After seeing Florence and the Villa and the people in the program, I had never been so happy that I had been rejected from the program in the first place. I had originally applied to study in Florence and wasn’t accepted and now I understand the saying “everything happens for a reason.” I totally would not have enjoyed Florence as much as I love Lausanne. I am so happy to be in a place that I love and can safely call my temporary home.Ceele Dennishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14174980942435105946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105496892135269627.post-39035370642483076922010-02-13T08:58:00.000-08:002010-02-13T09:43:54.783-08:00Paris<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVIPv1tola_D-pSGPtbAjlAc_lVxrbRMi8kPW19jUVEn-g4KrcKkzy0yxqBp7ef3MB_dvNnEhtYRSj705LzgZgSXBl7m10wXXttFg8PEhk-0eejPTuAC1Pb8S5-XlgjxzVsBmEv5zxsOw4/s1600-h/IMG_0753.JPG"><img style="display:block;

We stayed for 3 days and got to see most of the stuff that we wanted to see. We went to the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, Musee D’Orsay and the Arch of Triumph. Of all those things I would have to say that the Eiffel Tower was the most impressive, it was so much larger than I had ever expected. We went to the halfway point up the tower (they wouldn’t let us up all the way due to the wind) so we got to see Paris from above and while we were up there it started snowing. How many times can you say that you watched it snow from atop the Eiffel Tower?! However, the Louvre was what really caught me by surprise. I had been to the Met in New York before and thought that was the biggest museum I had ever been to, until I went to the Louvre. We waited until after 6pm on Friday because student’s get free admission so we had only 4 hours to get through the whole museum. It was completely impossible to enjoy the entire museum in 4 hours. We only got to see 2 of the 4 different wings of the museum but I was happy to see the works of art that we got to see. It was so cool to be able to see the paintings in real life that we have learning about in our Religion class and our Humanities class. I actually felt for once that I understood the paintings rather than just standing there in front of them with a blank expression. There isn’t much to say about Paris other than that we saw all the main attractions and it was absolutely freezing. I think I can legitimately say that it was the coldest I had ever been in my life. We weren’t able to do much more than site see because it was absolutely freezing outside and snowing and we were only there for 2 day. My absolute favorite part of Paris was going to Sacré-Coeur (Sacred Heart). It’s a small place on top of a hill that overlooks all of Paris and we happened to make it up there for sunset and I got some great pictures. I would love to go back to Paris in the spring or summer and see it again. I did love the city though and it was cool to see how different French sounds between Swiss French and the French from France. I felt like there was so much else to see other than the usual tourist attractions, so I would love to go back.Ceele Dennishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14174980942435105946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105496892135269627.post-44209262941123142052010-02-07T11:01:00.001-08:002010-02-07T11:06:21.957-08:00Thonon Les Bains<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH09lyGLc1-uuxdAQMJ4pPXWZngxNprGnYjT1lpEheMg8zYNt648vgeniLu31ElHUqEm3wbOeR7llmg2WtpP5SkSZHvuM0JjbVmOtj9XpnWfspVHe4sl2gIFruX2rZasluCdhe1FdydaMY/s1600-h/IMG_0166.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH09lyGLc1-uuxdAQMJ4pPXWZngxNprGnYjT1lpEheMg8zYNt648vgeniLu31ElHUqEm3wbOeR7llmg2WtpP5SkSZHvuM0JjbVmOtj9XpnWfspVHe4sl2gIFruX2rZasluCdhe1FdydaMY/s400/IMG_0166.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435579914400179938" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIf_TLGZi5mtLB34cu5V41FQgHWwvyC8mQzpQGYIcVhBXdMjDrB1NnKac4Ujcf0aZZsESX3B5hXBop0FOMZTDSprv8bFRgVVI28Y50IRpGeIWeDtfhLO1tyaIwT6Roy0e6XGX0OeU5FTlR/s1600-h/IMG_0178.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIf_TLGZi5mtLB34cu5V41FQgHWwvyC8mQzpQGYIcVhBXdMjDrB1NnKac4Ujcf0aZZsESX3B5hXBop0FOMZTDSprv8bFRgVVI28Y50IRpGeIWeDtfhLO1tyaIwT6Roy0e6XGX0OeU5FTlR/s400/IMG_0178.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435579905951106242" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmd6UPY32mf2r1aynEajsixew_sDHp4Cd-EqznEdDzocWjtv8EkPoL-idxvv0OdWltHMYtki-MGD4wWeCYTrkDsG8LoQbgDFMwgjhLezSJAF3laVqMZqSz00PrH0DG3sl8O7YOrDZeixE0/s1600-h/IMG_0195.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmd6UPY32mf2r1aynEajsixew_sDHp4Cd-EqznEdDzocWjtv8EkPoL-idxvv0OdWltHMYtki-MGD4wWeCYTrkDsG8LoQbgDFMwgjhLezSJAF3laVqMZqSz00PrH0DG3sl8O7YOrDZeixE0/s400/IMG_0195.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435579905054474114" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWipcROXNsSrctw-i_TtJwLxLKVcii0pSOyaLD-SuoQx5AAj1HWZyEO_vwOEy1sVN1T17H-eA9UvTxaZE9FcHbwXaCBzzFpayukYy1xvCXiWH2f56GY6sieoOuhM_7cA3bdLMDejswpfCC/s1600-h/IMG_0171.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWipcROXNsSrctw-i_TtJwLxLKVcii0pSOyaLD-SuoQx5AAj1HWZyEO_vwOEy1sVN1T17H-eA9UvTxaZE9FcHbwXaCBzzFpayukYy1xvCXiWH2f56GY6sieoOuhM_7cA3bdLMDejswpfCC/s400/IMG_0171.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435579894912045426" /></a><br />As a day trip on Friday a few of us took a trip on the ferry across the lake to a city in France called Thonon Les Bains. There wasn’t much to see but we walked around and got a cappuccino and came back. It was freezing and somewhat a waste of money but at least we know what is across the lake now. Just a few docks and small houses with a small town square.Ceele Dennishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14174980942435105946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105496892135269627.post-43773642944907828122010-02-07T10:53:00.000-08:002010-02-07T11:00:57.025-08:00Chateau D’Oex<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifgStvErM9W5Kz01gW8JS3bWJsKK4oHDaUUPGjaqEh82KEUgi45FlhD-h02oGQzYc63IQj4oop7dFAvsZEc_W635UxiahH84qc83TeXGmjcS0n5EX9s-uYqHQjdsu58us36JVKfsox52rv/s1600-h/IMG_0478.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifgStvErM9W5Kz01gW8JS3bWJsKK4oHDaUUPGjaqEh82KEUgi45FlhD-h02oGQzYc63IQj4oop7dFAvsZEc_W635UxiahH84qc83TeXGmjcS0n5EX9s-uYqHQjdsu58us36JVKfsox52rv/s400/IMG_0478.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435578397372049218" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilYjQDMLlP8TCIYpqS6FBsCYprIocXMzpIWe05AbymCCWU0lOYHvFjJxzXRMS4H3hWO3wSLPfGX96YPMFgfXfKXYnLfpjynO3VN8JsvfbUmzRbL27Ir8Njmsq1U2edyO5q4qnkfgBKKSFT/s1600-h/IMG_0362.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilYjQDMLlP8TCIYpqS6FBsCYprIocXMzpIWe05AbymCCWU0lOYHvFjJxzXRMS4H3hWO3wSLPfGX96YPMFgfXfKXYnLfpjynO3VN8JsvfbUmzRbL27Ir8Njmsq1U2edyO5q4qnkfgBKKSFT/s400/IMG_0362.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435578393304913634" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUMlTV3NsmQO038BIzlkTn9dY_EvVCeNznyDoDCslo-vkEgSzrXcNi3sUam4OsYMm4wkS-5SCXLoeUQ99MG4bK0iK-qXLqA3MbD4GttGgMLf6g6n9qqCXt8li5DLvtBCGQ7kR_xEH2gD_s/s1600-h/IMG_0329.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUMlTV3NsmQO038BIzlkTn9dY_EvVCeNznyDoDCslo-vkEgSzrXcNi3sUam4OsYMm4wkS-5SCXLoeUQ99MG4bK0iK-qXLqA3MbD4GttGgMLf6g6n9qqCXt8li5DLvtBCGQ7kR_xEH2gD_s/s400/IMG_0329.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435578384076275442" /></a><br />The next weekend we stayed in Switzerland again and headed out to a place about 3 hours from our house to watch the famous Swtizerland Hot Air Balloon contest. It was in a huge field that was covered with snow and had hot chocoloate stands everywhere and it was a festival full of crazy painted hot air balloons that took off at various times of the day. Some were painted in crazy colors and some were made to look like Scotsmen playing the bagpipes. It was cool, but so cold!Ceele Dennishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14174980942435105946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105496892135269627.post-81909729664289354402010-02-07T10:46:00.001-08:002010-02-07T10:53:03.539-08:00Solothurn<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8UcTQANeJdPrNC50ks33r6K2Ghy7STIpZSE9rj8ExGZvMGC-Yz5flqctcp_m7Mos0CSvbPqx1VMTrgKsH2NfPNQvW9ikPHRy97gCJDDxK_gYSKuplj5ABEH5SPcJdlsIkMFXu43fCGuD0/s1600-h/IMG_0083.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8UcTQANeJdPrNC50ks33r6K2Ghy7STIpZSE9rj8ExGZvMGC-Yz5flqctcp_m7Mos0CSvbPqx1VMTrgKsH2NfPNQvW9ikPHRy97gCJDDxK_gYSKuplj5ABEH5SPcJdlsIkMFXu43fCGuD0/s400/IMG_0083.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435576449200020034" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipThUfnbM3nuNLciFtA1EYwbzc_13SiOKF7Je7BDdLzTe37m_cHlg9OHIhJVRwYtWzzYI2Ru4oCxbu52Sz8tWXFtBo-q2nmmMgIJ9TmsFHXFOl75nMkR9Gn36t3aj-t7hSXTAuLvP7ExQ-/s1600-h/IMG_4853.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipThUfnbM3nuNLciFtA1EYwbzc_13SiOKF7Je7BDdLzTe37m_cHlg9OHIhJVRwYtWzzYI2Ru4oCxbu52Sz8tWXFtBo-q2nmmMgIJ9TmsFHXFOl75nMkR9Gn36t3aj-t7hSXTAuLvP7ExQ-/s400/IMG_4853.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435576446181492466" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh04Bk74sOwR2jxXN34mWPE5D-r1JhnNBuMAqGIctUtR8YbJWscoWtj6mtg7InK9APHQcOegENy4I5pEf61Kklj60VZI7JE5VQLC-2ZZ5DUmBv7-FMhFMOS8epKfR2vmIjcR_5tjQbCmPXy/s1600-h/IMG_4844.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh04Bk74sOwR2jxXN34mWPE5D-r1JhnNBuMAqGIctUtR8YbJWscoWtj6mtg7InK9APHQcOegENy4I5pEf61Kklj60VZI7JE5VQLC-2ZZ5DUmBv7-FMhFMOS8epKfR2vmIjcR_5tjQbCmPXy/s400/IMG_4844.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435576438325814642" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF_8hLaon_B7Fm8ypoa7V3OSwek7jWD0O5C5EK3KwvtLbZHA5kKpZKOSMkZ5cjbDs9pYYg78RS608OSjkYi0Gve_jGyRu0sTT63Ny6V3xp1ieGEwAJWCj09DSgHOrzVXDpodShCwcHJo_z/s1600-h/IMG_4823.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF_8hLaon_B7Fm8ypoa7V3OSwek7jWD0O5C5EK3KwvtLbZHA5kKpZKOSMkZ5cjbDs9pYYg78RS608OSjkYi0Gve_jGyRu0sTT63Ny6V3xp1ieGEwAJWCj09DSgHOrzVXDpodShCwcHJo_z/s400/IMG_4823.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435576431231373858" /></a><br /><br />For the first weekend of travel in the semester we were given the offer to tag along with a friend and stay at a family’s home in a place called Solothurn, Switzerland. Our friend Mariesa is new this semester and was studying abroad in London last semester. Since we met we got along really well and she felt comfortable inviting me and Alex with her to Solothurn for the first weekend. She knows a family that lives there through their daughter, Maddy, who was an exchange student with Mariesa’s family back in the States. Maddy invited 6 of us to stay at her house for the weekend and offered to take us all on a ski trip. We got to the house and the family was absolutely amazing. The dad and the kids spoke English, but the mom only spoke German so it was a little hard to communicate with her but the kids and dad did a great job of translating and making sure that she was involved in all of our conversations. When we first got there we walked around the small town, the city itself is very small and quaint. Afterwards we went to Maddy’s house where her parents had set up a full Raclette meal for us. It was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. For the entire time that we were there they fed us three full meals a day and all of them were so amazing! They made the beds with new sheets and comforters and were one of the most hospitable people ever. On Saturday Maddy woke us all up and we ventured out to a mountain called Wengen (pronounced Vayn-gen) where we rented skis and proceeded up the mountain for my first time skiing ever on the Swiss Alps (let alone my first time skiing ever). Not paying attention we had been taken on a lift that took us to the top of a black diamond ski run. We stood at the top of the mountain in disbelief that we were about to attempt to go down. Long story short, it was the scariest thing of my life and I petrified. I literally thought I was going to go off the cliff and die. Luckily a local man found me on my butt on the side of the mountain crying after having just taken a spill. He picked up my poles for me and helped me up and stayed with me the entire way down the mountain while linking arms with me on the steep parts so I wouldn’t fall. He was an angel in disguise. 4 hours later we made it to the bottom. Needless to say I turned my skis in and never want to go again! But it was a cool experience and I’m glad I can say I’ve skied on the Alps.Ceele Dennishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14174980942435105946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105496892135269627.post-69430848936584356102010-01-08T10:12:00.001-08:002010-02-20T05:02:09.223-08:00Snow Shoeing<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj85m1e96snuNK9c7KctYonzGXLbat2P3KUVSUKMCptV7MI51-wSYba5EuoBNxcBGMNLNpOktnWd1-dqC7nucUn6misyPYobZ2JlzNtdZalpwqCjr-eeeg0Up4NT04ClxAVpvxHtsQNSCBU/s1600-h/IMG_0053.JPG"><img style="display:block;

I wasn't sure if I wanted to go at first because it was going to be so cold, but I thought that would be a lame excuse to miss out on all the beautiful scenery and the experience of snow shoeing. So I layered up in long underwear, three long sleeves, a north face puffy jacket, jeans, and old tennis shoes with wool socks. Let me just tell you now, I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO COLD IN MY LIFE! Once we got our snow shoes strapped on and headed out into the snow I immediately wanted to turn around, but I stuck it through and was so glad I did because it was such a cool/experience. We hiked in the snow for about 2 or 3 hours then stopped for hot chocolate before heading back to the house. The forest was so beautiful covered in white!<div><br /></div>Ceele Dennishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14174980942435105946noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105496892135269627.post-57625149163013291882010-01-08T02:41:00.000-08:002010-01-08T02:45:36.415-08:00It's Snowing!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq08US2Ma5Whklbi3RZVROcWN9ALLQcyx5E-9ozxncMDhbXP2fLevrKO5xjFBl51IQj0TgXbG-KTftQSa2W6qD0jt1gd0lKUTGZs9clNABvKjnmEvo2yxNriPA0SPpTlnHMhK7C1doz6UL/s1600-h/IMG_0019.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq08US2Ma5Whklbi3RZVROcWN9ALLQcyx5E-9ozxncMDhbXP2fLevrKO5xjFBl51IQj0TgXbG-KTftQSa2W6qD0jt1gd0lKUTGZs9clNABvKjnmEvo2yxNriPA0SPpTlnHMhK7C1doz6UL/s400/IMG_0019.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424318149569794050" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#009900;">Day-time</span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhflOq5nd_uTip-9eaOYclPbVrbV_u1tfh9UwD65MpZMaveQTIsQA6JIRvC0sirKtv07h2NwULEJNyPKBoSk7ngLh2K3ysGYYIg3kRY8L02J8ZR90xK6x0H5PlfZKntbukf3XZVgfAX-L_j/s1600-h/IMG_0016.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhflOq5nd_uTip-9eaOYclPbVrbV_u1tfh9UwD65MpZMaveQTIsQA6JIRvC0sirKtv07h2NwULEJNyPKBoSk7ngLh2K3ysGYYIg3kRY8L02J8ZR90xK6x0H5PlfZKntbukf3XZVgfAX-L_j/s400/IMG_0016.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424318141001671474" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#009900;">Night-time</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#009900;"><br /></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#009900;">I have officially arrived back in Switzerland after an amazing month at home with the family and friends. It is covered in snow and absolutely gorgeous white! Today we are going snow-shoeing somewhere up in a mountain (I'll get the details later), which should be interesting. I have never done something like this before so we will see how everything pans out. Snow is falling as we speak so I should be getting some great pictures soon, but here are a few just for now. </span>Ceele Dennishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14174980942435105946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105496892135269627.post-87141183725993047852009-11-30T06:05:00.000-08:002009-11-30T06:32:22.143-08:002 weeks left<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy8MFkohiCYeyM9pVXpyFjoflAFx_P_0ss7tpQDxrL9VX_xR5cj73fWOMMPqNCDsFvxAnjx62Azl-BiSNn1uL3HAcx2pv3YivED4JBleUEeVzuLtmB_GtoiasTqO2pttkoimheg3pWjyVs/s1600/IMG_4165.JPG"><img style="display:block;

I love Switzerland so much but I am so excited to see my family for the holidays. This past weekend we went to all the Christmas markets in Lausanne and neighboring cities. They are much like a street fair with small stands of vendors selling home-made unique things, but it is all Christmas based. It was so much fun. We bundled up in our warm clothing, gloves, hats and scarves and set out to stroll through the Christmas markets. With everyone drinking hot chocolate and cider, our breath foggy when we speak and the smell of cinnamon and chestnuts filling the air and Christmas music playing it couldn't have felt more like Christmas. We took our time looking at all the stands and the different things everyone was selling. At the end of the night we rode the ferris wheel in the middle of the markets and like to froze our butts off, but it was well worth it. The view of the city decorated for Christmas from the top was so beautiful. I can't wait to be home for Christmas!!</span><div><br /></div>Ceele Dennishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14174980942435105946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105496892135269627.post-27722766372960866142009-11-30T05:46:00.001-08:002009-11-30T11:55:42.963-08:00Thanksgiving in Switzerland<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-KgPTt1whSpw_tNvq0EECCy0z-U4qL_pSjNH253Bz__Yka5w0Z1AkJJ8mnf1L-YVwbZbBNKE6gLSnYRZgqwufojx9yaIQ9ZDxsiBZD0See2cdPIA1MSyWUkEDAlJpdpa7GgoRS3Cp5sAn/s1600/11259_1293399336399_1272753161_859925_5429119_n.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Thanksgiving night here consisted of 100+ people, skits, music, 17 pies, a ton of turkey and a very different atmosphere from home. During the week leading up to Thanksgiving, we spent our time baking pies, preparing crafts and decorations, cooking turkeys and everything else that goes into making Thanksgiving a success. With a stressful school week for everyone it was nice for everyone to get together and release some stress with a huge feast. I thought I would miss being at home for Thanksgiving, and don't get me wrong I definitely did, but being in Switzerland was such a cool opportunity. Everyone was away from home so we all tried to make it feel as much like home as possible. After dinner, I helped clean up and then stayed up till 3am decorating the house for Christmas. We set up a Christmas tree with fake presents, lights and ornaments. Decorations all over the house, snowflakes on windows and stars hanging from ceilings. It was a great success and everyone was surprised when they walked downstairs for breakfast on Friday morning. Here are some pictures of the night. </span><div> </div>Ceele Dennishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14174980942435105946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105496892135269627.post-68622431676675026252009-11-10T13:17:00.000-08:002009-11-13T05:24:41.414-08:00Egypt!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA6YyzyR7Qr5hyphenhypheneDzv538EZoDMsmaEoslT5rnA-bZTDwrhAURnlUWG55ghFUUj9v1dVGZU4UQtaMoPTlN5VXsopNc1b5N58BxUEbJeb98cqZ5-huGd1YeSCT-nBlOK2YfXaC4vvaaVX3K7/s1600-h/IMG_1690.JPG"><img style="display:block;

It's gonna be a big one so you might want to grab a chair or just take a peak at the pictures and read it later. Just thought everyone would want some details on this trip. Since it's such a long one I'll break it up by days like I did for Corsica. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3366FF;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3366FF;">So we had fall break last week where we had 5 days off from school and were free to travel wherever we like. Alex and I chose to go to Cairo, Egypt with 2 of our other good friends Michelle and Yvonne. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3366FF;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3366FF;">Wednesday: We left at 10am on a flight out of Geneva and headed for Egypt. We had a 9 hour layover in Rome so instead of staying in the airport for 9 hours we took the metro out to the Vatican. We toured the Vatican Museum and went into the Sistine Chapel. We had about 4 hours at the museum and wasn't enough. The museum was one of the greatest museums I had ever been to. We started at the beginning and took our time strolling through each room and exhibit and we still felt rushed and like we couldn't have walked through one more time. The Sistine Chapel was absolutely breath-taking. There were no cameras allowed in the chapel so I don't have any pictures but they wouldn't have turned out great anyways because of the lighting. The ceiling and walls of the chapel are completely by Michelangelo and are what he is most famous for. Some scenes he painted included God giving life to Adam, Adam and Eve in the Garden and the Great Flood. There are no words to express this work of art. It was the end of our tour so we were ready to sit down for a few minutes once we got to the chapel. A few minutes was an understatement. We sat in silence staring at the ceiling and the walls that are completely covered in paintings and frescoes. After finally leaving, we caught dinner at a pizzeria down the street and hopped back on our metro back to the airport to catch our flight to Egypt.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3366FF;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3366FF;">Thursday: We arrived at the Cairo airport at 2:30am and were dead tired but so excited to be in Egypt we didn't let our exhaustion get to us. By this time we were delirious and finding everything funny. When exiting the airport we went through customs and security check and they were checking Egyptian visas. Our hears all sank because we didn't know that you had to have a visa before coming into the country. The last thing we needed was to be stuck in the airport with no way back because we didn't have a visa. Luckily, that was not the case. If you were only there on vacation you can buy a visa for $15 at the window before the exit gates. I guess this was our first indication that Egypt doesn't really give a crap about anything. So we bought our visa's and got the heck out of there. When we got the bottom of the escalators there were two men waiting for us with our names on a plaque. This was so cool, I had always wanted someone waiting for me at the airport! His name was Muhammed and his partners name was Husein. They were our tour guides that would be in charge of us the entire time we were there. I was so happy to know that we would have a local with us at all times because judging from what I had only seen at the airport so far, I could tell that this wasn't going to be a safe place for four girls on their own. When we arrived at our airport we had a little mishap because our reservation was for Nov. 5, but their days don't start until 6am instead of midnight so we technically didn't have our reservation until 6am. It was 4am and we did not want to pay for a full night to just sleep there for 2 hours. But long story short, we ended up getting suckered into paying just so we could go to bed. Just as we got into bed and started to fall asleep the city had its morning prayer call. The churches have towers called minarets and they are all over the cities and at the same time all of the minarets have people in them that start chanting their prayers and the entire city stops what they are doing to pray. This was the first time we had heard it and got a little freaked out until we realized what it was. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3366FF;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3366FF;">Later on Thursday: We got up at around 11am and ran downstairs for breakfast then got ready for our tour which picked us up at noon. Our tour-guide's name for this day was Rehem, but we called her Rico. She was really nice and cool and had our whole day mapped out for us. We went to the Egyptian Museum which houses all the mummies and the treasures from inside King Tut's tomb. They also have the entire history of Egypt in this museum so we took some time brushing up on our Egyptian history that we had learned about in high school and college. Next we went to a perfume shop where they mix all the oils to make their famous perfumes. Ancient Egyptians were known for their talents of mixing oils to make perfumes and the recipes got passed on over time so they have the exact ingredients of Cleopatras favorite scent and other oil remedies they would use for calming and relaxation. This was the same idea as wine tasting but with perfumes and oils if you can imagine. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3366FF;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3366FF;">Thursday Night: This was the most epic night of our entire trip. We got picked up from our hotel at 8pm and were taken in a van for about an hour out of town until we pulled into this parking lot that had 4 camels waiting for us. There was a camel driver and his son waiting to take us on a camel ride into the night. We hopped out of the car and were all a little hesitant to get on the camels after seeing how huge they are. After a couple deep breaths we got on them and they got up like transformers in a bunch of different movements. Our tour guide got on the camel with Alex and the camel driver got on my camel with me. Michele and Yvonne had their own camels that were tied to ours. We headed out into the desert and after about an hour we were completely in the middle of the Sahara desert. It looked straight out of Aladdin, rolling hills of sand for miles and miles and nothing but darkness, the stars and our camels. After a while of riding we took our camels up to the top of this hill where our tour guide had a surprise waiting for us. They had set up a pic-nic before hand with a blanket and pillows and tea and traditional Egyptian food. So we proceeded to eat our food in the middle of the Sahara with our camels huddled next to us and as we looked around we noticed that the Pyramids were off the distance and they were the only things we could see for miles. It was so surreal, literally something out of a movie. I would have to say this was one of my favorite parts of Egypt.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3366FF;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3366FF;">Friday: Today we had a full day tour. We got picked up by Rico and we headed out for the Pyramids. After a little drive were standing in front of the biggest pieces of man made creations I had ever seen, let alone the oldest. 6,000 years old and still standing strong they looked amazing. They seemed to not be as big as first but as we got close to them we realized how enormous they were. We even crossed the rope and climbed up on them for a little photo session. I can't really do much more explaining without pictures so once you see the pictures you will see how amazing it was being able to see the Pyramids, the Step Pyramid and the Sphinx. Later on Friday night our other tour guide Ahmed asked us if we wanted to hang out with him after hours and he took us to the top of a mountain that overlooked all of Cairo and we had tea and talked for a few hours. It was really nice and he was really cool and nonetheless it was a beautiful view.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3366FF;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3366FF;">Saturday: This was our last day in Egypt and we didn't have anything planned so we of course had to see the biggest mall in Africa so we took a day trip out to the mall that was 7 stories and had a ton of stores. It was really cool being able to see it, even though I didn't buy anything. Not much went on this day, we really just were killing time before our plane left that night. We felt like we had spent the perfect amount of time there and had seen everything we wanted to. At 2am our plane left and we couldn't wait to be back home. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3366FF;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3366FF;">Don't get me wrong, Egypt was the most amazing experience ever and I absolutely loved it but I was so ready to be back home in Switzerland. The city in general was extremely dirty and resembled a third world country. Lots of poverty everywhere we went and was really unsafe, although we were always safe with our tour guides. We also had found a liking for this food called Koshary which ate two times and fell in love with. It's traditional Egyptian food that we drove into the slums to get just because we wanted it that bad. Well after being back for a few days, I am regretting my decision to eat all the Koshary. I'm still feeling the effect a week later, if you know what I mean! </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3366FF;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3366FF;">There is so much more to say about Egypt but I feel like I've written so much already that it would be excessively long to write it all out. Also, if I tell it all on here then I won't have anything new and exciting to share when I get home. So that's all for now :) xoxox</span></div>Ceele Dennishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14174980942435105946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105496892135269627.post-46553821221638560612009-11-08T09:49:00.000-08:002009-11-08T11:51:10.814-08:00Disneyland Paris!<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#33CC00;"><br /></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#33CC00;"><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjURHUNd9DmdJsFJEPNJZIWp7US8sczweH_aa72I5idPjoZ5jLSfFuU79Pltmw0LX4LQZHTvHtCzo2PsLwvs3WauDmxykf4YOZOaF0RnrvfCmR3ECqn8lo0s9QDYdufa-meTSMzyUh9Ldlr/s1600-h/IMG_1359.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjURHUNd9DmdJsFJEPNJZIWp7US8sczweH_aa72I5idPjoZ5jLSfFuU79Pltmw0LX4LQZHTvHtCzo2PsLwvs3WauDmxykf4YOZOaF0RnrvfCmR3ECqn8lo0s9QDYdufa-meTSMzyUh9Ldlr/s400/IMG_1359.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401797913566987602" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#33CC00;">Notre Dame Paris</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#33CC00;"><br /></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTimt7J5BrGTqAq-13uQuWc3gxDmKhX9pSQCSeB3C5xpn3Q2mw3LqLySzdBmR4JhORIp4WDjcbpME2us_xsZReqhNoiqlxjpBhB0oXEMrRVs3HEl1SobAiUpzd9_EEacD50mLiFw94yYDe/s1600-h/IMG_1348.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTimt7J5BrGTqAq-13uQuWc3gxDmKhX9pSQCSeB3C5xpn3Q2mw3LqLySzdBmR4JhORIp4WDjcbpME2us_xsZReqhNoiqlxjpBhB0oXEMrRVs3HEl1SobAiUpzd9_EEacD50mLiFw94yYDe/s400/IMG_1348.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401797913084518498" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#33CC00;">Disneyland Paris Castle</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#33CC00;"><br /></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0HW-ykC6Gf1GZfmm_NNi7muo3r-3G9K3Bk7n3vZkCrL9e8QFqCDKwV1XSJ3aUQVZpDQ5guV6tXS04Ugh1jIn8dnzmai2_DTZvekzwLNNcPTKHicEJZ1JDi6cas0APVKpIzBAN_dU1NOSZ/s1600-h/IMG_1345.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0HW-ykC6Gf1GZfmm_NNi7muo3r-3G9K3Bk7n3vZkCrL9e8QFqCDKwV1XSJ3aUQVZpDQ5guV6tXS04Ugh1jIn8dnzmai2_DTZvekzwLNNcPTKHicEJZ1JDi6cas0APVKpIzBAN_dU1NOSZ/s400/IMG_1345.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401797908496683810" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#33CC00;"><br />Since we had the field trip on Friday we couldn't do any big weekend traveling so we decided to take a day trip to Paris and go to Disneyland. Disneyland closes at 10pm and the last train going back to Lausanne left at 5pm. So we spent the night in Paris and planned on catching the 8am train back to Lausanne on Sunday morning. We spent all day Saturday from opening to closing at Disneyland. It was so much fun, and almost exactly like the Disneyland in Anaheim, except for the rides are so much more intense. We rode Space Mountain about 10 times and Thunder Mtn. was just as fun. It was raining all day and I was wearing canvas flats that ended up getting soaked and my jeans were trashed by the end of the day, but it was so worth it. However, on Sunday morning we woke up early to catch the metro to the train station and then the train back to Lausanne. BUT, while on the metro, Alex realized that she left her phone in the hotel room so we had to jump off and catch the metro back to the hotel. I waited in the station until she got back and we caught the next metro to meet our other 2 friends at the train station. Our train left at 7:58 and we were going to have about 2 minutes to spare to run through the station and make it on our train. But with our luck the metro broke down in the middle of a tunnel for about 3 minutes and we missed our train. We ran up to the platform as the train was pulling away. I could have literally reached out and touched it, but we were about 10 seconds too late. To make things worse, that was the only train going back to Lausanne on Sunday. So every way we tried to get back home didn't work out and it looked like we were going to have to spend the night in Paris, with mid-terms the next morning. After 9 hours of trying to get back home we finally found a whack route back to Lausanne on a train where we had to switch 4 times. 18 hours later, we got back to Lausanne at 1am and had to study for our mid-term the next day. Little did we know that going to Disneyland for one day could cause so much drama. But while stuck in Paris we tried to make the best of it and walked down to the Notre Dame and took some pictures before catching our train. </span><div><br /></div>Ceele Dennishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14174980942435105946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105496892135269627.post-35105290507767424922009-11-08T09:31:00.000-08:002009-11-08T09:49:06.808-08:00Geneva, Switzerland<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjYAqRk_DBKanTT_x85il6eImMctO1DzM4oTXJ6zH2XkdHbpaoeocj38kuuba49GsyviFG-dXlGt15XXQLW3yw-2Y-h1eKp-36TkNQ0BYLjgJDu3xWZIhf4Wap0EyyawpnaVs4eukLqPyN/s1600-h/IMG_3841.JPG"><img style="display:block;

Finally! Ok, so if any of you are like me, you probably had never heard of Corsica before, or if you had you didn't know much about it. Well that was the intent of the field trip for us. It is called an Educational Field Trip, so each semester we get to spend a week in a location to solely learn about it. Corsica is a fairly large island in the Mediterranean, south of France and west of Italy. We stayed in the capital of Corsica, Ajaccio. Don't ask me how to pronounce it, I avoided saying it at all costs! Our trip lasted from Tuesday to Saturday. So much happened on each day that it would be one tremendously long paragraph if I wrote it all in one. So I'll break it down by days :)</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;">Tuesday:</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;">We met in the lobby of our building at butt-crack of down (4:30am)!!! Two buses picked up our group and set out on our 7 hour journey to Avignon, France. We arrived in Avignon around 11am to tour the Palais des Papes (Palace of the Popes). During the 1300's the popes relocated to Avignon to escape the violent chaos in Rome. Many Popes lived in the palace up until 1377 when they went back to Rome. We took a walking tour through the palace and a little bit around the town. If the weather had been better it would have been enjoyable, but it was hard to focus on anything when it was about 45 degrees plus heavy winds. I was so glad I had a long sleeve shirt and scarf on. Some girls had expected the weather to be warmer and were in shorts and shirts...I would have died! After touring the palace we went to a group lunch at a nice restaurant in town. They served chicken (just like every other meal here) so of course I had the vegetarian meal. It was so amazing though!! Penne pasta with pesto sauce, sun dried tomatoes, snap peas, green beans and olives all mixed into one! Mmmmm. After lunch we headed back to the buses for another 3 hour drive to Marseilles to catch the ferry to Corsica. We had been told that we were taking an overnight ferry to Corsica, and that we had cabins with beds to sleep in for the night. However, they didn't tell us we would be taking something close to a cruise ship! When we pulled into the port to board the ferry we were staring at what looked like Queen Mary..Ok. Maybe not quite like the Queen Mary, but it was the nicest and biggest ferry I had ever seen. We boarded around 7pm and after getting settled in had dinner on the boat. I took a Dramamine before getting on so that I wouldn't get sea sick and would be able to sleep easier. It definitely did the trick because I was zonked out before we even left port. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;">Wednesday:</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;">We arrived at 7am on the ferry in Corsica and once again our trusty buses took us to our hotels. The group was so large that we had been split up into 2 different hotels that were about 15 minutes apart. One was right on the water, and the other was directly in the center of town. Although the seaside one would have been nice, I was satisfied with ours being in the middle, it meant that everyone had to walk to us! Our hotels offered buffet breakfasts in the morning which were amazing. I actually ended up taking food from breakfast in my purse to last me until lunch so that I didn't waste money on snacks. In the afternoon, we toured the house of Napolean Bonaparte. He was born in Corsica and lived there unitl he was 9 years old. Nothing too special, but believe or not it was the only claim to fame that Corsica has so of course they took it and ran with it. Everything in town is named after Napolean. Our hotel was Hotel Napolean, the restaurants were Restuarant Napolean, I mean you can see where I'm going with this. It was a little bit ridiculous, but to each their own I guess. Not much to talk about or Wednesday, just went back to the hotel and had some bonding time with other students. Why is it that when you travel with people you always become close with them? Weird concept.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;">Thursday:</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;">After another amazing breakfast in the hotel we boarded our buses once again for a 3 hour drive into the center of the island to a place called Corte. It is a university town of supposedly one of the most historic universities of the island. Again the weather was not permutable for much enjoyment with low temperatures and wind chill. We spent most of the day in museums and shops except for the trolly/train ride we took around the town. It was buried into the mountains and was actually a very quaint, pretty town. To get to the town we had a 3 hour bus ride up a mountainside. It was just as intense as driving to Big Bear. Now imagine that drive on a huge tour bus, you can only imagine the amount of people who got car sick. We had people laying in the isles and taking sleeping pills to avoid it on the way back. I usually don't get car sick but by the end of it I just wanted to puke. It was pretty bad, but the drive itself was pretty to say the least. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;">Friday:</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;">This was my favorite day of the trip. We boarded a tour boat at 8:30am and didn't come back to port until 5pm. We spent all day touring the coast of Corsica and splashing through the Mediterranean. It was absolutely gorgeous! I had never seen something like this before! The boat was pulling in between huge caverns and rocks that had never been touched by man. We saw nature at it's peak. The water was so blue you could see for days to the bottom! We stopped at a small village on the way that only had 18 people living there. We had packed sack lunches that morning to take with us and eat when we stopped at the village. A few of us found a small swimming cove that was just a little bit of a hike around the hillside, but it was well worth it. One of the most beautiful views I have ever seen. It was amazing being able to eat our lunch on a rock, cliffside that overlooked miles of clear, blue Mediterranean. After getting back form the boat tour we were on our own for dinner so of course we resorted to a panini stand that we found, always a hit! They were amazing!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;">Saturday:</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;">This was check-out day. The plan was to check out at 11am and have free time for the rest of the day until we had to be at the airport at 6. So my roommate and I decided to sleep in that morning and go down for breakfast, then pack our bags, checkout and roam the city. A stress free morning right? Wrong. We got a call from our director at 8:50am who was frantically trying to get a hold of all the students to tell them that the hotel had just informed her that our checkout time was 9am and that breakfast was also closing at 9am instead of 10am. Well well well, isn't that lovely. We had no time to shower, no time to get ready. It was basically, jump out of bed, run down to breakfast, run back up throw clothes in the bag without folding, sit on bag to zip it shut, checkout and then try to have a nice day on the town after all the hussle and bussle. Luckily it all worked out and we ended up having a really nice day. I spent more money than I probably should have, but I consider it money well spent. A group of 12 girls, including me, came across a piercing shop and decided they wanted to get their ears pierced. Of course I got suckered into it and got my second hole on my lobes pierced. It was definitely the most impulsive thing I had ever done, and it actually didn't even really hurt, which I was grateful for. At 5pm we loaded the buses and headed for the airport and said goodbye to Corsica. It was definitely a trip to remember that was filled with bonding, laughing, crying, and exquisite memories. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;">Hope this wasn't too boring for everyone to read!

Just our luck that the one weekend we stay, the weather is horrible and raining all weekend. That's okay though, all the more reasons to snuggle up with blankets and watch movies all day (which is what we did all day Friday). Saturday we got up early and took a train into Geneva then went out to a town called Broc. There is a chocolate factory here that shows you how the famous Swiss chocolate is made and at the end you get free, unlimited samples. Needless to say, it was amazing!!! I bought chocolates to bring home for family so don't worry :)</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">Tomorrow will just be another day at the house.

It was basically the same group of people except for 2 people switched out for 2 different ones. 8 of us caught the 7:20am train out of Lausanne and headed straight for Milan. It was nice not having to make any train changes on the way. It was only about a 3.5 hour train ride to Milan from Lausanne, much nicer than the 7.5 hour train ride to Nice the previous weekend. I was not in charge of booking the hostel for this trip, and now I know that I should probably always handle the hostel bookings. We showed up to a hostel that was not near the center of town so it was a pretty far walk from everything we wanted to do, it smelled of bad Asian food, and was really janky. One of our rooms had only a bidet in the room, and it was literally IN the room. The toilet was in the same area as the beds with no door, very awkward. Needless to say, the people in that room used our bathroom. </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">It was fashion week in Milan the weekend before we went, so the city was still decorated a little bit from fashion week. There were large coke bottles everywhere that were decorated differently as an ode to fashion. We spent Friday at the Duomo (the cathedral) and walking around the shops and trying to find our way around downtown. Milan is known for its designer labels and name brand stores. Needless say, we didn’t do much buying, just window-shopping. The Prada store is based in Milan so we got to visit that which was pretty cool but intimidating. We visited a castle the same day and walked through a really cute park in the middle of town. At the end of the day we found a pizzeria that was really cheap but had the best thin crust pizza ever! We super excited to find it. </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">On Saturday, Alex and I decided to break off from the group and take our own day trip to Lake Como. We found our way to the train station and bought a ticket on our own (I was very proud of us, this is quite a daunting task when everything is in another language). It was about a 40 minute ride from Milan to Lake Como and well worth it. It was one the prettiest lakes I’ve ever seen. When we got off at the train station we met these 3 older couples traveling together who were form Austrailia. They all had been away from home for close to a month and were starting to miss their kids and grandbabies so they insisted that we tag along with them. They got us on a ferry boat and we rode for two hours around the lake and ended up at a small town called Bellagio. It was absolutely adorable and beautiful at the same time. Bellagio is known for their silk and cashmere so there was plenty of shopping to be done there. Lake Como ended up taking up our whole day and we got back at around 9pm (after ending up at the wrong train station and having to find our way back on the metro). </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Sunday morning was basically the same as Friday. We ate breakfast and sipped cappuccino’s on the steps of the Duomo. Quite an experience on a Sunday morning. Not much more form Milan, a weekend was enough time for me, any longer would have been too long. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"><br /></span></p> <!--EndFragment-->Ceele Dennishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14174980942435105946noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105496892135269627.post-6802232933603911032009-09-30T02:43:00.000-07:002010-03-08T01:34:42.356-08:00Fondue Dinner @ Mary's<!--StartFragment--> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">As part of schooling I am enrolled in a class called Enriching the International Experience. It is taught by the Director of the House (Mary Mayenfisch) and my Humanities professor (Anthony Gorton). Yesterday was our first class meeting and instead of having class we met at Mary’s house for a class dinner. About 15 of us caught the bus to her house which was about 20 minutes away and had a nice dinner with her and her family. They taught us how to make fondue, which is a traditional Swiss dish, and for appetizers we had dried meats from all different parts of Switzerland. I can’t say I was a huge fan of the dried meats but a lot of people seemed to like them. It was a different food experience but I don’t think I would willingly choose the meets again, but the fondue was great </span><span style="font-family:Wingdings;mso-ascii-font-family:Cambria;mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin;mso-hansi-font-family:Cambria;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;

I don't even know where to begin. This weekend I went to Nice, France with 7 other friends and had an absolute blast!! We left on a morning train at 7am out of Lausanne and arrived in Nice around 2pm. Our hotel was walking distance from the train station and for the price we paid for it I wasn't complaining. Definitely not a 5 star but good enough for two nights. The first thing we saw when arriving in Nice was the amazing beaches. Nice is in the South of France and is a little beach town on the Mediterranean. If I had to compare it to another place I would say it is like the Hawaii of Europe. The water was so blue and clear and filled with speed boats and yachts. I took many pictures but they don't do it any justice. The whole time we were there all we ate were paninis, crepes and gelato! The food was so expensive but well worth it. We went out to a nice dinner and club one of the night and we met some really nice guys from Holland, Italy and England. We were only there for 2 full days and left Sunday morning. I definitely wish we could have spent more time there, it was so beautiful. This upcoming weekend are taking a trip to Milan, Italy (hopefully) so I'm looking to top the last weekend but I'm not sure that will be very easy. </span>Ceele Dennishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14174980942435105946noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105496892135269627.post-78802492095228691112009-09-24T00:05:00.000-07:002009-09-24T11:49:43.102-07:00<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">So I just thought I would post this video because I thought it was really cool. In our house we have a music room downstairs that is in the student lounge. It has a few guitars, piano's, a harp and some other random instruments for all of us to use. The other night a few of us were hanging out in the music room and a couple people picked up guitars and a box for a drum and started messing around.

In Lavaux there are the World Heritage Vineyards which we walked through. This had to be one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in my life.

We met an older woman named Finola who showed us around the town and treated us to cappucino's at a cute little tea room in Lutry. We fell in love with her, she was so cute! She took down our names and told us that she would love to take us out to dinner one night so we are trying to find a day that would work best for all of us. These are pictures from Lutry and the boat ride we took around the lake from Lutry back to Lausanne.</span><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhQ3rhB_gxwsAy-J4NwU8TsyEETrHdTFz3VbMtNzUZ-hjxdlSddA0n-Crkzy0wioxrn20HxOKIy4p7hgHHLUuMheZTIqGXD4iBrUPDTqVOkXohyYiz2ohnZ0aeqSnOtNFpBBzUhNAj4PWn/s1600-h/IMG_0983.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhQ3rhB_gxwsAy-J4NwU8TsyEETrHdTFz3VbMtNzUZ-hjxdlSddA0n-Crkzy0wioxrn20HxOKIy4p7hgHHLUuMheZTIqGXD4iBrUPDTqVOkXohyYiz2ohnZ0aeqSnOtNFpBBzUhNAj4PWn/s400/IMG_0983.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382045463092907186" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">The Beach in Lutry.</span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEiVZaakAIkP3YhCWWWtbrOTny7lEH8AooQjxLp58Qg-kE5W5YqaWS04RUlQP6ZkU3bjjwlSKlQAOnFtiEOWJiL5D6nP0bzirK-9IScT-Mmlubw8APLGOrO7CHY5scoA1xfpIApsfPCI5w/s1600-h/IMG_0981.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEiVZaakAIkP3YhCWWWtbrOTny7lEH8AooQjxLp58Qg-kE5W5YqaWS04RUlQP6ZkU3bjjwlSKlQAOnFtiEOWJiL5D6nP0bzirK-9IScT-Mmlubw8APLGOrO7CHY5scoA1xfpIApsfPCI5w/s400/IMG_0981.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382045453618227890" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">The docks of Lutry.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"><br /></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFhW43d7i_f09MOlQTvYPuZhYT-e07O6oizzBS7nv3sZC0r1cJ-bcHDAbfD_bLMPherYJHs-efCE_Fu-Izl1k-XqEjux5blMthkbynclobUnbm8xZRWgCjHG3zyUkXTRB9xC65-XXjgURM/s1600-h/IMG_0973.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFhW43d7i_f09MOlQTvYPuZhYT-e07O6oizzBS7nv3sZC0r1cJ-bcHDAbfD_bLMPherYJHs-efCE_Fu-Izl1k-XqEjux5blMthkbynclobUnbm8xZRWgCjHG3zyUkXTRB9xC65-XXjgURM/s400/IMG_0973.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382045448019870770" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">The Town. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ9SG5TFMZs-q-XS-voTS1DfgyS5EZHyG6q2qYPikHFK0KkOX9OC5Feo-hhnbATxIP8qPxadznkd59ccBsCOLDQWH6onso69SiVDudneTvaaUeaeqRc13cqhLdLFeLtQoITcR3iOWSCVAi/s1600-h/IMG_0970.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ9SG5TFMZs-q-XS-voTS1DfgyS5EZHyG6q2qYPikHFK0KkOX9OC5Feo-hhnbATxIP8qPxadznkd59ccBsCOLDQWH6onso69SiVDudneTvaaUeaeqRc13cqhLdLFeLtQoITcR3iOWSCVAi/s400/IMG_0970.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382045437324070018" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">More Town...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"><br /></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYgvYOFR3RJA6mt7Wwo2tOZv5LJVQ-TlrBdRcq3h_LzYTn51LVkOp3I49gO6qTCJoBoap3wSVAOqL7UiKsuwmfe0kusKi9xeMOnfFfKnlDLnEOtK1hmfjuUV73hYxkaRhzQw6mt0St0fJf/s1600-h/IMG_0967.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYgvYOFR3RJA6mt7Wwo2tOZv5LJVQ-TlrBdRcq3h_LzYTn51LVkOp3I49gO6qTCJoBoap3wSVAOqL7UiKsuwmfe0kusKi9xeMOnfFfKnlDLnEOtK1hmfjuUV73hYxkaRhzQw6mt0St0fJf/s400/IMG_0967.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382045429744309010" /></a><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">Waiting for the boat to pick us up :)</span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"><br /></span></div>Ceele Dennishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14174980942435105946noreply@blogger.com0
