Prague! Voted #1 most visited city

Prague  • 
Prague was such a gorgeous place. There was so much to do. Let me just give you a "small" list of all that we did. - took a lovely stroll along the river at night - went to church in Czech. Didn't understand a word, but we felt the spirit, and we met three families from America where the husbands ar...

From Mountain to Mountain, Beauty will be Beauty

I think the Swiss Alps must be the best experience since Africa! We did so much hiking and it was lovely. I haven't had a work out like that in a long time. So in the morning, we left to go the the national park in the Swiss Alps. We weren't quite sure where we would go because there are many tra...

Is this what Heaven looks like?

French Alps  • 
Staying in the French Alps was absolutely amazing. It was so beautiful and peaceful. One morning, we even woke up to 4-5 inches of snow. And it is summer! I had a great time playing in it, but everyone was talking about how they didn't bring any snow gear...well neither did I, and I am the one w...

Genovia the land I call my...wait...Geneva!

Geneva  • 
There has been so much that has happened since I have been in Europe. I feel like a lot of different events occurred while in Arica, but it sure is fun to be in Europe. Definite honeymoon material! We first arrived in Geneva where we had 4 hours to walk around the central part of the city right wh...

Gorilla House without the Gorillas

Bwindi Impenetrable Forest  • 
We are in the cutest little town I have ever come across.  Smaller than my town, but there are tons of people and I have no Idea where they come from.  I believe that they all live up in the mountains in their adobe houses and come down to the town to by supplies.  Our first night in Bwindi, the loc...

We came we saw, but could not conquer.

Queen Elizabeth National Park Gate  • 
On the ride down to Queen Elizabeth National Park, we stopped by the equator to see if the water really does change direction depending on whether it is on the north of south side....It really is true! I saw it with my own eyes! North is clockwise and south is counterclockwise. On the equator, there...

Elephants, Hippos and Giraffes...OH MY!

Murchison Falls National Park Chobe Gate  • 
It isn't so great to be sick with a cough and a fever, but especially on a study abroad program. Maybe it was from the jet lag and not getting enough sleep, but about 5 of us came down with some nasty coughs and, in order to preserve the rest of the crew from getting it as well, our professors thou...

Church and the Sabbath Day

Kampala  • 
Today was quite a long day surprisingly. We first went to church in the Kololo Ward, but we got there an hour early. We just sat there watching as the missionaries came in and the members who where very kind to us. During announcements, they had each of us go up there, state our name, where we wer...

1st Day in Uganda

Kampala  • 
We were all quite dead from the 24 hour plane ride over here, but I just realized how good plane food can be! Today was just a lazy day, as our professors called it. We had three cars take us all around Kampala and we went to go visit some tombs, but apparently a year ago, the tomb was burnt down an...

Before the Trip

Everything is packed and ready to go but it always worries me if there is something I forgot to bring or if there is one thing more that I need to buy. I don't have lots of free space if I wanted to buy anything because I decided that I didn't want to bring a huge suitcase to haul around everywhere...
