Keukenhof Garden

This past weekend, I FINALLY made it to the very very VERY famous tulip garden here in holland. It is called the "Keukenhof Garden"...and my, there were SO many flowers there. It was very nice and beautiful!! But afterwhile,.... funny enough, I got kind of tired of seeing SO many flowers. HAHA There were millions of different types of tulips...of ALL sorts of shapes and colors, and there was a small petting zoo and even some playground equipment for the kids...which of course I took full advantage of! :) Overall it was a realllly cool experience...and I definitely had tons of fun...it was just overwhelming to see SO many flowers...and it was kind of chilly and windy, which was no fun. Anyways, here are some pictures. I took over 200+ pictures...just at the gardens...I know these few pictures can't do it justice.. maybe that means you should come yourself to experience it! :)

ENJOY the pictures. No captions this time (ok maybe just 1 or 2). I think the images are pretty self-explanatory

LONDON UK

I spent Easter holiday in London!!!! WOW what a city! :) I have quite a few friends in London and figured this would be a great time to visit them. I was there for ~6 days, and spent some time seeing ALL the sites that the city has to offer. honestly, it reminds me of paris/NYC, but not AS hectic (Paris), and not as stressful (NYC). And it was really nice because everyone spoke english...so even though there were accents, at least I could understand EVERYTHING being said to me! hahahaha However, I was not prepared for the weather- it was quite sunny the first day I was there...and then random times of sun during the rest of the trip...but i definitely encountered "typical" british weather- dreary, rainy, windy, and cold. I definitely did NOT bring enough clothes...as I thought it would be "spring" weather. but that gave me a good excuse to go shopping! hahahah. Overall I REALLY enjoyed my time in London- they have just about everything America has... ahhh whole foods, krispy kreme, the GAP, ... etc etc.. it was great! it ALMOST made me feel like I was in the states again. ( actually it kind of made me miss the good ol' USA)

Here are some pictures (i have WAY too many... can't choose them all unfortunately):

YAY... time for a real update! This past weekend I went to Athens Greece... WOW what a place! The city was SOOo beautiful! I have some friends who live down there, so I decided to check out the area. It was such a great trip- I went to all the sites in Athens (akropolis, partheneon, monastiriki, plaka, 1986 Olympic Stadium, University area with Socrates and Plato, etc etc)...and I even had enough time to check out Ancient Corinth and Mycenae. I was blown away by all the ancient structures there... next time I need to hit up the greek islands! :) who wants to come with????

Here are some pictures of my time in Greece. Due to privacy issues, most of the pics are either me or just landscapes. Enjoy!
