haha euro-trip... and i stuill havent seen that movie, unfortinutely i watched cast away

ok sorry i havent posted in so long guys, been a widdle busy. last week for 10 days i went to europe, i went to germany, switzerland, france, nd a cupple of little countries along the way. i got to fly over iceand, an i saw the capitol. an i flew over england. but all the while on the trip i was looking foward to france. but in reality germany and switzerland were the best countries i visited. in france, little old ladys used the universal signal... while yeling obsenitys about americans and bush. in germany, they dont have laws about "indecent exposure" when you think of english gardens, what do you think of... well i thought of a little park, with a lake an pretty flowers... haha, boy was i wrong!... it was like a nudist cult. nothing but nekid peope. haha. so we got outta there as quick as we could. it was funny, sick, but funny. yeah we went to about a million castles in germany it was so beautiful, people were so nice. except 1 snooty waitress... we went and bought sandwiches from this restraunt for lunch. we see the name of the place we bout them from, and we see a ittle pickic table with the same name on the umbrella. so we sit down, and a waitress comes over and starts screaming at us in her language so we just look at her with a dumb expression, and tell her- in english- that we no speaky german-ease. well she walks off and we continue to eat our sandwiches. she comes back, and starts screaming at us again, finally she walks off so we took off as well and ate our nasty sandwiches elsewhere. i turns out only people being served wer allowed to sit there. because, she would get a tip from them. sheesh. on out last day in germany they brought us to a concentration camp, dachau. it was extremely depressing, before we left they made us watch a video of what they did to people in this camp, it was about how adolf hitler punished the jews, just because he felt like it. this place was hitlers experiment on how many people he could kill in the shortest amount of time. it was extremely depressing, if you have any questions about it feel free to ask, i have lots of pictures if any of you want them.. switzerland was by far the best country, great CHCOLATE!! swiss chocolate, the best kind. and me and only 1 friend from my school went skiing in the alps.. that was 1 deadly trip. i almost skeed off a cliff, they dont believe in guard rails, or face clothes for that matter. we drove along mountain tops, on skinny roads, that are about the width of 1 american lane... they have skinny little cars over there. but anyway, along mountain tops, where u look sown and you see a sheer cliff, and no guard rails, so basically u lookout the bus windows and look down at death. so yeah my skiing trip, that was fun only 4 out of like 30 people went skiing, and only two students, just me an rachael, and my mom an mr. gram. trhats it, the mountain was called "titlis" for a readon, because they certainly couldnt call it "ball-less" because you need balls to go to the top, which is where i went, we got on these huge lifts after we got our skiis. they held ike 30-sumthin people, ant there is only 2 of them, then we go up a little higher in the mountain an get on another one of those lifts, which dropped us off at 3/4 mountain, we get on another lif to take us to the top... it was the worlds only rotating lift, called the "rotair" as you climb the mountain the entire thing makes 1 full rotation as it rreaches the top. well we go skiing, i start out i make it down the first three slopes, i look ahead, and there is a cliff, dead ahead. and i was going about 50 mph. so i dove for the ground and skid to a stop.my skiis sticing outta the snow strait up, and im laying on my stomach laughing my fool head off. so then we wait for my turtle of a mother to come down to where we were, she was only going maybe 10 mph, and still did bout 5 cartwheels. and this was on their so called "bunny slopes" ha yeah right, so my mom gets down to whee i am, and we ook down the next hill and it is like a sheer drop, but we have to go down it, because there is no lift until the bottom of it, so my mom says what do u think we should do, i say... take it like a man... on that note i shove off, i fly down that slope, and reaching a speed of about 80 mph im hummin it down the slope and i see pedestrians on 1 side, and a snowball on the other, an i mean a big snowball. so guess which one i chose to hit. well being the good samaritan i am, i chose the snowball against my better judgement, of coarse i only had about 2 seconds to make up my mind before impact.. so i hit the snowball, which mostly deteriorated on impact, it knocked off 1 of my skiis, and sent me spinning, i did ballet on skiis. then i whipe out, land face first on the ground with my leg twisted around and, for some odd reason i didnt loose my poles, but if it hadnt been for my large watch on my wrist, i probably would have broken my wrist. but instead i just skrewed it up a little bit, pulled a cupple muscles.... so that was the end of round 1. my mom decided to hang up her skiis for the day of coarse her cartwheels scraped up her knees, and hands so she was bleading, but on a lighter note, she didnt break a nail!! she got to brag bout that haha. so she was done for the day but i wasnt, i guess im just a sucker for punishment. i did another run down that ong steep slope, and only wiped out 1 more time, and slid down on my butt, involuntarily i might add.. i litterally couldnt stop.. and my skiis just dragged me down the hill then spun around an dragged me backward down the hill. then i dug my hands into the snow, finally stopped, and stood back up. then by that time my wrists really hurt, and they hurt for a cupple days after that. but it was fun, and definutely memorable. and so ends my switzerland experience. and now on to france. france was almost like america in the rude people department. the only thing that was different, is that we dont have the louve, or the eiffle tower, oh and people understand you here, the first thing i ate once i got home was chicken fries and a root beer from burger king. the only safe thing to drink over there was sprite and coca-cola.because its universal, they arent alowed to twiek it... they even twieked apple juice.. they made it carbonated! icky!!.. and even their water was disgusting... our travel guide told us the water in paris has already been through 14 people... eewww, so i steered clear of the water, because he wasnt joking. but yeah, pretty much walked through the davinci code, when i went to the louve. and i went to the eiffle tower, i only went up half way, because once we got up there our stupid chaperone decided we didnt have time to go to the top, so we went back down and had to wait another hour just for our tour guide to show up, we couldhave gone to the top an back down in that amount of time, ugh! but yeah despite certain circumstances it was a blast, i made some new friends, and had an amazing cultural experience. if you have any questions for me please dont hesitate to ask. and if you would like to see some pictures as well just ask, i will be more than happy to send them too you. well sorry this was such a long post, i havent posted in weeks, and i didnt want to break up the story so, yeah i hope you enjoyed my long winded experience, an i look foward to your comments.. ok ill shut up now, toodles
