This is Jimmy. I know that we will all be together in a few days but I thought it would be better to write now than never. The reason I am writing about my summer so late is because I just returned home yesterday from 9 weeks in Europe. Words really can not describe how amazing my summer was and how much I experienced but I thought I would briefly describe the trip.
In the beginning of June I left for Munich, Germany. In Munich, I attended an international language school for German. I spent three weeks at the school and all lectures and lessons were in German. My teacher actually spoke no English! The first week of class was incredibly difficult as I had had almost no prior instruction in German and had not taken any classes at Richmond. However, as the time went on I was able to understand everything and actually speak the language.
After Munich I traveled to the north of Germany and stayed with a friend who was an exchange student in my town when I was a Sophomore in high school. From there another friend from home came to Europe and we departed for our "Euro Trip." We went to Prague (Czech Republic), Vienna (Austria), Ljubljana and Bled (in Slovenia), Zagreb, Dubrovnik and Split (all in Croatia), Munich, Germany and then again back to our friends house. We also took a weekend trip with our friend to Berlin. Because we were traveling primarily to cities we did not have much of an opportunity to experience the outdoors and unfortunately missed out on the alps simply due to bad planning. However, we did get to see some really amazing places and meet a lot of interesting people.
Here are a few pictures of my new favorite places in the world! (also the cities/towns that had the most outdoors activities).
Dubrovnik, Croatia
Bled Lake, Slovenia
If I were to continue talking more about my trip I do not think that this post would end. So I will leave it at this and if anyone is interested in my trip feel free to ask me and I can tell you more about everywhere I went and also share more of my 300 plus pictures. See you all in about a week!
-Jimmy
