Goodmorning!

It is almost 9 o'clock in Lorrach Germany, and we are visiting some good friends in their hometown.  We arrived last night, and have been having a great time ever since.  Had a yummy dinner, and I have to tell my parents I tried a bite of a new dish (it was veal with a tuna sauce, and I LIKED it).  We then had the yummiest ice cream! I got to sleep in a comfortable bed! Ahhhhhh..... It was so nice! I even have room to walk around! This is such a nice break! It is also nice to see friends from back home! Everyone is sleeping right now, but we are going to the farmer's market when they get up and then who knows! Lorrach is a really cute town! One of the BEST things is the Milka factory that is right down the road.  I can see it from out room, the beautiful purple lights glowing :) I never knew I could like a chocolate bar so much.... Amsterdam was really fun as well.  I enjoyed walked around  by the different canals, and mostly the people watching.  I think this was my favorite place to sit, have a cafe latte, and people watch.  I could have done this for hours.  One of my favorite things I did was the Museum for Handbags and Purses.  I feel like I should be saying it was some art museum, but I can get bored with those prettty quickly.  There are three people I wish were with me at this museum: my mom, my Granny Jo, and Cheryl Sanders (my moms friend).  They love and have more handbags than anyone I know.  Their personal collection of purses is probably equivalent for the ones in that museum.  It was neat to see purses from the 16th century and today.  Favorite animal skin was the eel skin.  Favorite designer today was Gucci.  I wish I could have taken pictures but they said no! :( Besides the handbag museum (wink wink), Amsterdam is known more for their red light district.  I must say I still cant really believe it.  I heard about it, saw it, and still I can't believe its real and so accessible. We just stumbled upon it while walking around.  Crazy..... Anyways, I know these blogs are scattered and filled with bad grammar, but I write them pretty quickly and remember things as I write, in no particular order! But... Im glad to be in a smaller town.  I pass KFC all the time in Europe which makes me remember the south every time :) Who knew there would be so many! Well Im rambling so ill post more later! Love you all bunches!

P.S. I am dying to check Perez Hilton.com but im too scared of finding out results from the Bachelorette. I tried to watch the full episodes on Tanja's computer, and it turned me down saying "it was only for United States viewers to watch" :( Oh well! Hopefully I can make it a few more weeks! I miss my friends, family, the bachelorette, and turtle lattes. Love you guys!

Hello!!!
We have arrive in Amsterdam after leaving Vienna and Salzburg. I LOVED Salzburg and wish we would have had more time there. It is such a cute little town. I tried the Sachertorte, and it is not my favorite.... the hot chocolate was good at The Sacher Hotel though! We tried to do the "hop on hop off" tour but it was kind of a waste of money. We went to see the trick fountains which was really fun. We went on a tour with a school group, and it was really fun to watch them getting sprayed with the fountains. We also went to see the fortress the morning we left. It would have been a BEAUTIFUL view, but it was a little too foggy. We got into Amsterdam last night so have not been able to do much yet. Wanted to update real quick! We are going to try and take advantage of this beautiful day beause I think it is back to rain tomm. We might rent bikes since it does seem like the popular thing to do. I have never seen so many bikes in my life!! The canals are really pretty here as well. We are in Amsterdam until Monday then off to Lorrach to meet up with some friends. I am really excited! Although I am having a lot of fun, I really do miss everyone at home. Send me a message or email @ an.nelson01@gmail.com Love you all! Miss you!

Hello Hello Hello!
Sorry I have not blogged in a few days. We have not had much time in Prague and Budapest so we have had to make the most of it. Prague was beautiful but a little bit chilly. We met Christy's friend Lindsey there who lived there for one summer. She is really sweet! During our time in Prague, we went to see Prague Castle which was pretty but not my very castle. The Charles Bridge was really pretty and interesting to walk over. There were many street sellers selling all sorts of goodies. We spent some time at Old Time Square which was really cute and beautiful. I wish I was better at haggling, me and Christy could have probably gotten some cute things. We went to the John Lennon wall which was pretty interesting.... I tried some Czech beer at dinner which was yumm-o! It is crazy to me that I can get a beer cheaper than a diet coke. Althought that can be nice, it has been hard since I usually drink qu it ite a few in a week. We have really had to cute back on our diet coke and coke zeros. After an 8 hour train ride to Budapest we made it. Our hostel, Tiger Tim's is really nice, and the people working here are even nicer. I slept great last night; although Christy and Lindsey were woken up my our roomates who had too much fun on the town. We did a lot of sight seeing today, and I am a little sleepy while writing this little update. I w.ish I could have seen Budapest in the sunshine... It was cold and rainy today which gave me a different impression on Budapest than say when it was beautiful and sunny in Nice. I am really excited about going to Vienna tomm. I am hoping their desserts are better than Pragues and Budapest. We have been deprived here in Eastern Europe with their sweet treats. They have NOT been good; although, we kee'p trying to give them our chance and our money. We were just sooo spoiled in France. Everything was amazing! Well I am sleepy. Happy Fathers Day Dad! I love you so much! I am so glad I got to talk to you and mom tonight. Love you lots and lots and miss you so much!

Greetings from Berlin!

Hello Hello Hello!

Greetings from Berlin! I am so sad to be writing this update because we will be leaving Berlin tommorrow early morning to go to Prague. We will be meeting a friend of Christys who has been there before. Hopefully, she can show us around! Berlin was so much fun. I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. Although I am exhausted today from trying to see as much as we can before we are off, I must say I have learned alot. We started our day early and headed to Potsdam. Such a cute town! We went to see Neuss castle, which was beautiful. Christy and I both agreed that it was more beautiful than Versailles. We then headed to Checkpoint Charlie and to the Jewish Museum. After grabbing a quick bite of dorser kebab (mom and dad should be glad I tried this... turned out to be pretty good) we headed for some more sights. Wish we would have had more time in Berlin but our delayed flight caused a little bit of an inconvenience. Oh well! Also, must say that we are staying in the cutest hostel that I believe exists. It is called Ellens Bed and Breakfast (although breakfast is not included). It is roomy, cute, and the beds are SOO comfortable. We even have our own little porch with a yellow chair. We took pictures, no worries :) We have met the nicest people here in Germany. I just love it here! I can't wait to be back when we visit Munich and Loerrach. Well I gotta go! Love you all so much! Miss you too!

Hello!

We have to leave Nice today :( It has not been long enough but we must make it to our next city... Berlin. Im hoping the weather is nice there like it has been in Paris and Nice. We will see! I have eaten so much good food here. We can't stay away from all the treats... gelato, crepes, croissants, ahhh I could go on! We went to Monaco yesterday which was beautiful. I have never seen so many beautiful people and nice cars. Many beautiful boats as well. We made our first meal last night which was a nice switch. You all would have been proud. We had pasta and zucchini and onion stirfry. My favorite part of the meal would have been the baguette with butter and jam. Yummo! We both have nice suntans now from our afternoon at the beach. I must say that I do wish they had sand here. The pebbles can we rough on the feet. Well I gotta go pack! Love you All!

Greetings from Nice

Good afternoon everyone. I cannot find the exclamtion button on this computer, and the lettering is a little different so excuse me if my grammar is not up to par. Good news is that I passed NCLEX and even better news is that I am in Nice. I thought I loved Paris until coming here. It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. Christy and I had so much fun in Paris and got to spend some time with our friends from Nashville. We even became experts at using the metro. I ate way to many ham and butter baguettes but it was well worth it. I will try to get on later and update about Nice but I must get groomed for dinner. Missing you all and loving you lots from far away.

p.s. I am trying to find a USB cord to upload pictures...no luck so far. I know I missed something.

Hellllooooo all of my followers!

Just wanted to write and and say that me and Christy have safely made it to London after a long day. The tube was shut down because of a strike and the streets were crraaazzzyyy. We made it, had a yummy lunch (Prosciutto, mozarella, and asparagus panini and a chicken scalopini mozarella panini) Everyone is loving our accents and us of course. Can't wait to update you later on. We travel to Paris tomm. and are going to be meeting up with some friends. Just booked our bus to the airport. Have a great day. xoxo Autumn and Christy
