My first time in Europe!

I'm finally sitting in my bed at hostel in downtown Vienna, I'm in love with the place, but I am exhausted. I'll recount the events of the last 24 hours:

I pulled an all nighter in Berkeley and then boarded the subway for my plane out of SFO. On my ride from SFO to Minneapolis, this really nice man offered me his seat in first class because he wanted my seat because it was next to his grandson. Being in first class was an awesome start to my trip! I felt so spoiled as I ordered cup after cup of coffee in a ceramic mug and munched on my fancy airplane food. IT WAS AWESOME. I sat next to a cool business man and he asked me about the philosophy papers I was reading, blah blah blah.

Then I had a layover in Minneapolis for about 2 hours and I met some other cool kids who were going to Amsterdam too. Then I boarded my plane for Amsterdam with a feeling of light-heartedness.

I couldn't stop smiling when I first got to Amsterdam, IT WAS MY FIRST TIME IN EUROPE! I couldn't believe it was real. I'm really making things happen! Its so magical! I digressed. Anywho, I had an 8 hour lay over before my final plane to Vienna & I decided that I wanted to explore Amsterdam. I made friends with an American boy when we were buying train tickets and we explored the city together and had very "amsterdamish" adventures.

Then I had to get back to my plane, and I then proceeded to leave for Vienna.

Vienna is GORGEOUS. Its so beautiful. Breath taking architecture everywhere and cobblestone streets. I'm already in love with the place. Peace out ya'll I'm so tired.


My internet connection is really bad right now, its not letting me upload pics, maybe I'll have better luck in France?

The view from the plane as I left the bay area: you can see the campinile!
