VeNeZIA

hey so we just got back from venice and i am so happy because we got to esthers house and her mom had made us cake!!! but not that that has anything to do with venice, anyway we had a really good time, our first night there we were waiting for the guy from the hotel to come and pick us up and we were all thinking he was going to be in like a car or a boat maybe, and then when he finally came and we had to walk to the hotel. it wouldnt have been bad except we were all wearing flipflops and the ground was wet because it had been raining, so we were all slipping all over the place and esther biffed it like 12 times i swear, it was so funny. when we finally got to the hotel it was like a house and we stayed in a room that had 2 twin beds and 1 bunk bed. the room was smaller than my room at home, but at least it had a bathroom connected to it so that was good, also it was clean and safe which is always a plus. when we got there we thought we were in the ghetto because it was dark and everything was closed so you couldnt see that there was even anything there, but when we woke up we soon realized that we were in like the middle of the old city, which was really cool. the first and second day we were there we just ate ice cream and pizza and shopped. oh and we took pictures with hott guys and got kissed by the gondola man! and that itself was pretty freaking great!! the second and fourth day we watched the sunset and went to lido di jesolo to go to the beach and that was pretty exciting except i got eaten alive by bugs!! oh and on our bus home from the beach we thought we had a round trip ticket but when the guy on the bus came to look at our ticket we got our heads bit off because it wasnt a round trip and he tried to make us pay 31 euros each and needless to say after listening to us fight with him about it he realized it wasnt worth it and we only had to pay 4 euros all together. but other than that we had a amazing time, Venice is a really beautiful city, with a lot of history. oh and i forgot we went to san marcos our last day after the beach and there were so many pigions it wasnt even funny! and the gross part is that people were like holding them! ewwww!!! well tomorrow we are going to stay in munich at bekka´s house until tuesday and i think she has a computer so i will be able to update the blog!! so until next time!!

HuRRay fOr ItaLy!!

hello!! its me again!!! this will be my last post until friday, because we leave in just 2hrs to go to the airport so we can fly to ITALY!!!! we are all having lots of fun, over the past 2 days we have been hanging out with all of Esthers friends and let me tell you they are crazy!! on friday we didnt go to bed until two because we were at a party with them at the institute, and yesterday they took us to a sports bar (dont worry we didnt drink anything except water) to watch soccer it was way cool. Today Esther took us to primary with her and german children are so cute! they talk in these little voices only its in german. . . . . . i think thats why i think they are cute. well anyway we love you all and will see you soon!!!!
love kate, em, and jess

hallo, from the german country! Jess, Em and I are having such a great time!! So far i think we have seen way more naked old women then we have in our entire lives!!!! Esther took us to this mineral spa, its like a bunch of swimming pools filled with mineral water and it has all of these crazy things that you do such as walk on rocks in freezing cold water and then dip your arms in freezing cold water. but i think that the best part of it is that all of the old people there just stare at us because we were so loud. Also Esther got us lost trying to find the spa and we ended up walking through a park and Em and Jess got their white pants sprinkled with black dirt. But dont worry because we had some spaggetti ice to make the walk worth while. :) oh yeah and on our flight over here some flight attendedant kept bugging me, Em, and Jess because on the way home i am flying unaccompanied minor and she thought it was on the way over and when i told her i was with them she said that they hardly look like parents and so far Jess is the only one who has been asked for her I.D. and she is the oldest.

So its been a while huh? 

Well let me tell you about my summer so far. . . . . it is fan-freakin-tastic!!! I went to St. George with some of my cuzs and that was a blast!!! I drove down with my Aunt Ann and 3 of her boys Christian, Sammy, and Alex, and my other cousin Natie. When we got there my Aunt Sandi was there with her 2 boys Jacob and matt and her daughter Sarah. Sarah and I roomed together and it was amazingly fun we didn't go to sleep until like 2 am almost every night!!! one of the nights we were going to bed and we were so tired, then all of the sudden this cricket started chirping. . . . . so Sarah and I went outside to kill it and failed, it was hysterical really it was, needless to say that eventually it started chirping like it was dying and then we never heard from it again. also on Christian's birthday his little brother alex fell and broke his arm, and Sandra Dee will forever be "special".
