Class is in Session

Ohhh come on!!!!
As many pages that are in my passport book you managed to restamp a stamped page (really!)
When I arrived in Germany the Customs lady stamped my PERU page : ( darn

On our way to Hedersleben, I realized just how green the German countryside was.....

After getting settled in and taking a tour of our Campus. It was dinner time, I must say that Schnitzel was the Scnizzel (Fantastic!!)

The next morning for breakfast we had bread and cheese before heading to class for the first time. Day 1 we covered the alphabet and numbers or shall I say (Alphabet und Zahlen) after being in class I realized just how difficult it must have been for my non-spanish speaking groupmates when we were in Peru. (I'm not conquered it's only been the first week) We got word that we would be taking a field trip to the town of Quedlinburg which would cost 1 Euro (3 dollars) not bad!

So we headed out to the town of Quedlinburg... We met our tour guide at city hall then went to Collegiate Church which is an UNESCO World Heritage Site, after the church we took a walking tour of the town. While walking down the coblestone roads the guide informed us "that for around 900 years this town was ruled by women".

* Fun Fact : They have the most timber homes in Europe. (Great history fact.)

What better way to finish a field trip then with an Ice cream from a local parlor..... YUM!!!

I know you're thinking what I was thinking.. Where's the Meatballs!? (creative!!)

What's a break without fresh air?

It is natural for us humans to become complacent with our lives, the people, and the opportunities at our disposal. This behavior is innate and completely understandable. Think about it, if you saw a [beach] everyday, you may not view it with the excitement of someone who grew up days away from the ocean. This is not due to a lack of appreciation, but rather because [it] was at your becking call, [it] was easily... accessible. Take a chance and try something new, you never know what awaits I think many of us can agree that humans are often habitual creatures. More often then not, our lives get busy and we find comfort in our routines. The increasingly fast-paced, urbanized, and technologically advanced nature of society does not help combat this tendency. Luckily, there are currently 61 National Parks across the United States that can provide the change of environment and therapeutic experiences many of us subconsiously seek. https://www.mapsofworld.com/usa/national-parks...

Where Now?

First off I want give a sincere Thank You to everyone who made the trip to Canada great and who supported and showed up to my party. Took a bit to get there, but the trip was thoroughly enjoyed and seeing/ spending time with you all made my summer (and it isn't even over yet.) Where to next? well you will just have to stay tuned! You mean no 5 o'clock traffic? The blueberries weren't out yet, but at least these guys were around Just something about a country lifestyle that makes you happy It was all gone so fast When you realize afterwards that you didn't photograph your food Looking a little thirsty I was... pretty stoked to see a few bees buzzing

Pflanzen aus der Mojave und Colorado Wüsten

I never envisioned that I would stop and photograph so many flowers during a trip. I personally am more of a landscape person, however sometimes we also have to pay respect to the little things as well. Somethings are just posing for pictures Beavertail Cactus Chia Barrel Cactus A Joshua Tree beginning to bloom What's the point of snapping photos just to snap if you still don't ever understand where you where and why the land is the way it is. The Desert as dry, hot and unforgiving as it can be holds many jewels and in my opinion is a very tranquil and relaxing environment free from the hustle and bustle of city life and monetary drive. Flowers or communal weeds? Mojave Yucca Cholla Catus. The lighter the fingers; the more water A blooming Ocotillo. Trademark of the Colorado Desert Blooming Yucca Brittlebush Another variation of the Cholla Cactus Cohabitation by choice or by necessity? So I le...
