I don't know if I posted this picture above or not but its of me in Freud park and it's a statue which says something about silence and intelegence basically.
I have some many pictures (500+ pictures) so I may throw a couple randome ones in like these
Silly pictures!

Ok so I never had the chance to write about this part of the trip because I thought it would take the most time to talk about, and it Brittany and I had been operating on limited time at the internet cafes. Anyway, this picture above is a book which we had read by Viktor Frankl(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Frankl). He was a psychologist who had been imprisoned in a concentration camp and actually survived. In his book he shares stories about his and other inmates' lives and experineces in the camp. His theory centers around the psychotherapeutic benefits of finding a reason to live. This picture was taken before we had gone to Mauthausen Concentration camp, a camp where thousands of people where imprisoned and killed.
This is the Outside of Mauthausen. (ABOVE) Whats so interesting is how beautiful the landscape is around it. I could only imagine what the prisoners felt when looking out into these fields.
The sign above is a caption for the crematorium
This entire prison was built by the inmates who had occupied it. The prison was built with large stones which the prisoners would carry up this staircase from a rock quarry below. If somebody carrying a rock fell, he would often knock down the others behind him and then a domino effect would happen, creating a big rock avalanche killing many who were closer to the bottom. When I walked this staircase I realized how hard it must have been. I had sneakers on, and I had food in my body, and no real weight barring down on my back, and yet I was still struggling getting to the bottom of these steps.

The pictures below are at an abbey in Melk, Austria (http://www.sacred-destinations.com/austria/melk-abbey.htm). We stopped here after our trip to Mauthausen. This abbey is known for its amazing display of Baroque architecture.
While we were here, we saw one of the most beatiful churches. The paintings on the ceiling and the gold everywhere was breath taking.
Out for a walk in Vienna...I love you!
So the Picture you see above is me as we enter Bratislava Slovakia. This was an amazing place! I can't believe how close it is to vienna. We had taken a train and made it there in an hour!!! Awesome right?!?
Picture Perfect! The picture above is in one of the historic squares of Bratislava. We had lunch at the restaurant with the maroon umbrella on the right side of the picture...it was great!
I just wanted to put this picture in here because I thought it was a good one of brittany and I in paris!!! Oh yea I said paris!!
This picture is of brittany and I near the vienna museum. The building behind I will get back to on because the name slips my mind as there are so many huge churches and historic buildings.
So this is brittany and me again in Karlsplatz Vienna. I was tryin to get this huge building in the background its to the right in the corner but I felt funny as everybody kept staring at us funny!!!
This is the 
Even the allys in viennna look awsome hehe!!! (Did I spell ally right?)
Well we finally made it here in vienna and it is awesome!!! It took awhile to get here because of some bomb threats that shut down some of british airways terminals. You might have seen on me on king 5 news but anyway I will write more about it after I catch you all up on where brittany and I have been.
Anyway, this is brittany and I flying into Paris on air france. We are very tired here because we both had not slept more than 4 hours.
Here's our room...it's great because we have a great big window that looks out onto the street. The room is compact but clean and modern. Plus, we have all of the amenities: plasma tv, kitchen, bathroom, dishwasher...so glad we finally made it here!
Here I am going to the storage unit to grab a few last items. ( I hope those books are up here)
Doesn't it look like you could make a good scary movie here! I think so!
Ahhh almost all done!!!
This is probably not the most exciting thing you will see on this blog but dang it, packing has never been so fun!
