still going, and going, and going...

geez louise...i don't even know where to start.

sucks when the internet at your hostel is either too slow, or too expensive to use. anyway, life is good...i'm 23 now!!! sweet!! and had a really interesting/fun time turning 23 in an irish pub in barcelona, hanging out with 4 older blokes from england (we're talkign married with kids older). it wasn't exactly the bday celebration i had in mind, but i had a bunch of fun...i even got a cheesy rendition of happy bday from them in the pub.

sooo, since i last wrote, i've been to quite a few places...after paris i went to montpellier, then barcelona, then interlaken, and now i'm in prague. here are a few highlights from each:

*montpellier: cool small town in southern france...home to france's first botanical gardens (which are awesome!!) and i found richter park there!!!

*barcelona: the most colorful place i've ever been to. the city literally turns orange at sunset...it's gorgeous. i've decided that gaudi, the architect who designed much of barcelona it's both a genius and on crack...his designs are incredible, it's like he brings dr. seuss's illustrations to real life. and barcelona's reputation for being a place to party and stay out all night is definitely true...the first night i was there, i went on a pub crawl and didn't get home until 6 in the morning!!

*interlaken: beautiful town in a valley in the swiss alps. breathtaking views, and tons of cool adventure stuff to do. i was considering going snowboarding in the alps (how could you not?!) but apparently there's more snow falling in malibu right now than there is in the swiss alps. i also visited luzern, bern and zurich...the taxi cabs in switzerland are all mercedes benzes and bmws!!! after walking around a bit, i was convinced that it must be illegal to have dirt on your car in zurich (the banking capital of the world) because the cars were absolutely immaculate!

*prague: i still need to go and visit the city, but so far, awesome...it's been super windy (but luckily not very cold) and i've been hanging out with these cool chileans that i met while in switzerland. life's good!

so that's just a spot of everything right now. life's terrific and each day brings something new. i'll try to blog a little more frequently so i have better updates, but that's all for now!

au revoir!!
