Good Times In Greece

Over the past week, my family and I took a trip to Greece. It was very greasy (as you can imagine). We had lots of fun. We visited many different temples and sites including the Acropolis, the temple of Aphia, the temple of Athena, and many more. We also went to lots of museums. None of them really sparked my interest. Here are some pictures -->

Our trip to France

Bonjour! Salut! We just came back from France! While we were there we visited some top tourist sites. Such as -->




The Eiffel Tower.




 


We went by way of the stairs.

Our journey to Germany

Hi! We just came back from a long vacation in Germany and France. It lasted 2 weeks and we did it over holiday break so Laurel and I wouldn't miss any school. 
In Germany, we stayed at a friend's house while they were away and we got to look after their cat! That was probably one of the best parts (for me) since my dad is highly allergic. Anyway, we went out to explore Germany, not fuss over a cat all day, so we decided to take a tour around Berlin (the city in Germany that we were staying in). Here are some pictures -->

 

 I don't know what this is called because I wasn't really paying attention to most of the tour, I was more focused on the fact that I couldn't feel my hands or feet anymore because they were numb with cold!




There was one place that we stopped at was the Holocoust Memorial, where thousands of cement blocks were built to remember those who died.



 


If you can tell, Laurel and I aren't smiling in this picture because the temperature seemed to have dropped so low, the light rain that was coming down, turned to ice drops before it hit the ground!

I never knew that m&m's spoke German!









Schmuck! It means jewelery but in German it sounds so strange!





After spending a few days in Berlin, we went off to Bremen where we stayed with my uncle's brother, his wife and best of all, their dog, Mona.





Isn't she adorable?!










There were some very tall Christmas trees there.





After a great trip in Bremen, we got back to Berlin where we were greeted by Lucy, the cat, and her litter box which was waiting eagerly to be cleaned out. And guess who got the opportunity of doing that? Me.




On top of the couch was Lucy's favorite spot.








Whenever Lucy lay on my lap, she would flex her claws and dig them into my legs. It hurt!




                                                             That's all for now! Bye!
