Oh Europe...

The whole time in Europe...Erica and I never really knew what would come next. I can honestly say that throughout my entire trip, I never knew which town/city/even country I'd be in the next day. We left the place we were staying in Istanbul with our bags all packed...in my mind we were on our way to take an overnight train to Bulgaria...boy was I mistaken. Turns out we spent another night in Istanbul and flew to Prague the next day. Prague was never on our agenda...similar things happened throughout the trip so we had to lug our bags around at unnecessary times like here when we were in Ceske Krumlov, we were thinking Vienna to Budapest...nah, back to Prague we went. Here is a picture of Erica in Ceske Krumlov in the rainy weather with her bag that is almost bigger than her.




The whole time in Europe...there were statues everywhere. America really dropped the bomb on that one...the statues bring history, artisticness to the country. Some of them were really funny and brightened your day. Here are two that we saw.






The whole time in Europe...people's unwillingness to speak English. We had been told and kind of already knew that everyone learns English in school so everyone knows at least a little bit. Some people seemed so disgusted that we didn't speak their language or any other European language that they just flat out refused to speak English. It seems fair that they would be annoyed that we come to their country and then expect them to speak the language of our country, but if you are going to be working in a touristy town or in public transportation, come on...english is the language of travel. Here is picture of Erica trying to forcefully break that language barrier with the train attendent.




The whole time in Europe...pigeons were in every major city. Here is Erica playing with them.
