My trip thus far...

Blog- sum up thus far

Well I am two weeks into my six week Europe adventure, and what an adventure it has been! I have been through three main  cities in three different countries. Each had a different language and a different lifestyle. I have seen thousands of sites and experienced different cultures of the world.

I have learned more than one could imagine, seen some of the most famous sites in the world and challenged myself. The most important quality I have taken away thus far is that you must always keep an open mind. This has gotten me through the whole trip. It has opened many doors. Every time Kelsey and I got lost, or just off our path a bit, we would always keep going and find one of the must magnificent places. I tried many food items I would never normally eat (This was usually because we couldn't read the menu, but sometimes it was a part of the culture). I ate bacon, sausage, ham, calamari, lobster/crab smear, mushrooms, onions, and so much more. Not that I enjoyed all of them, but I am glad I tried each. I have challenged theses fears I have always had and taken many risks I would never do. In this I made it to the top of one of the world's tallest buildings (with a tremendous fear of heights), I have lived out of one bag for two weeks and have four more with the same bag, I have done things I could never image doing without this experience. In each country I tried to catch onto the language and use it when I could. Although this was not easy to do in three or four days, you can catch onto enough to get you through. 
In each city, Kelsey and I found that the best thing to do was to observe other people. This allowed us to see which was the right way to walk on the street, how to eat appropriately, when to leave a tip, how to act within their culture and more. 

Well now Kelsey and I have parted ways and I wait for yet another adventure to add to these adventures I have already experienced. Here I come Florence!
I look forward to staying in one place for a bit longer and really get to be emerged in one country and one culture to several weeks.
