New Years in Prague

New Years in Prague

New Year’s in Prague was a blast, literally!
Prague is a very fun city with an interesting mix of old and new. It’s hard to describe it in a way to do it justice, so here are some pictures from the city:

The fireworks show in Prague is pretty much provided by the attendees. [...]

New Years in Eastern Europe

For New Years I want to try something different, so I’ve decided to go some place I’ve never been before: Eastern Europe. For selecting a location, I used a very detailed method for narrowing down the process. I went to google, searched for fun new year’s locations in the world, and Prague was at the [...]

Zurich

Weekend in Zurich visiting a friend. Awesome city, lots of fun. Relatively brief summary since the parents might be reading…

Bern

Over the weekend I took a trip up to Bern, which is the capital of switzerland, to look around. Bern’s a pretty cool place because it didn’t get bombed back to the stone age in WW2, so it’s still got an old look to it. Here’s some random photos I took while I was there [...]

Country Night: Gstaad?

Most of the country music fans that I’ve met were confined to 2 or 3 states in the south, so you can imagine my surprise when I got to Gstaad and discovered that their country music festival is one of the big events of the year. All the big country music acts come from around [...]

Arrival in Gstaad

June: Switzerland

June seems like as good a time as any to take a trip to Switzerland. I had other reasons too, which might not be a good idea to detail on a public blog just yet. Nonetheless, I headed over to scout out the place.
Gstaad is a pretty small ski resort town up in the Alps. [...]

May: Let the world take a trip to you

May came and went and I didn’t manage to take a trip anywhere cool, but someone that was taking a cool trip came to see me. That’s almost as good, right?

April: Miami

What is one to do when Easter weekend rolls around and you’ve got no plans? Why, go to Miami of course!
I headed over to Miami last weekend to visit Brian. I had printed out some driving directions to his place from the airport, but when I arrived I discovered that the main road that I [...]
