Less is More.: 2010

Shawna's Photos- Uhhh, Places.

A party at the girls' apartment. Jessica Britta Nate Janis John Me. Looks like it must have been a football Saturday since I was wearing my ND "The Shirt". It was a small party, I think our first little grill-out after class on probably a Friday.

I still can't seem to always remember which train trip this was. But the sun was making me hot. It was either Valencia or Pompeii. I think Valencia.

Jessica Kat Dave Me Britta Alex. Somewhere.

Ah this was one of the more fun things we did- I love feeling adventurous and exploratory- we were climbing over big hunks of rock way down this breakwater San Sebastian, Spain, on the coast. Cept the hunks of rock were like smooth granite, and it was raining. It was really slippery and there were huge gaps between the stones where you'd basically fall way down. All the more adventurous :)

We've seen this one already :)

Another angle, of me trying to eat the pyramid. Hope I didn't offend the French.

Me John and Dave in the escalator tube of the Pompidou Centre in Paris.

Same. Great view. Taking pictures.

Checking out the grass-covered stadium in Paris.

Me Shawna and Jessica on the Eiffel Tower.

Jessica Me Shawna. Yeah being on the Eiffel Tower was sweet.

Yeah! Shawna and I about to roll on our scooter.

Our silhouette.

The view over my shoulder from Shawna's position on the scooter.

Britta Me Dave John Kat. Pompeii.

Jessica's back and my front. Pompeii.

Jessica and I. In retrospect we're in a lot of pictures together for whatever reason. I guess we traveled together a lot, dunno...

Another view down into the well in Pompeii.

Me Katie Britta. I think Madrid. Or Valencia.

Kat and I.

Once again, me on the sculpture in Madrid.

Jenny and I sharing the world's most delicious beer, Kasteel, in Madrid. It was hard for both of us to drink out of it at the same time :)

Jenny's Photos- Barcelona, Madrid

My friend Jenny came to visit. She took photos also. Here they are.

We video chatted with our friends Rob and Michelle real quick, and got to play with some webcam with their kid Logan. Hilarious.

Jenny took this for me cause I didn't have my camera. Great little photo.

More um-ba-rellas.

Plaza Mayor in Madrid. Fat Spiderman doing his thing.

Jenny, me and Dave watching some ND football.

Sweet sculpture that looked like it wanted to be climbed on- and thankfully other people were climbing on it too so I didn't feel bad about it. Madrid had some huuuuuuge parks.

And lots of sculptures to climb on.

Our favorite Belgian bar in Madrid, drinking my new favorite beer.

This was a little chair someone left out for the garbage man- which I enjoyed first, while we sat outside and finished our bottle of cava (Spanish champagne). Delicious.

That is all.

Jessica's Photos- Lots of Places.

My friend Jessica's photos. Means more with me in them.

San Sebastian. Raining. I didn't care- what's it gonna do, get my hair wet? I don't like carrying an umbrella anyway.

John, Nate and I lusting after some pastries.

Kat, me and Jessica's friend Kare, in Granada.

Kat, Jessica and me. In shadow. On the steps of some cool building near the river in Granada.

Kat, me, Kara.

Us in Holland. A big orange theatre behind us.

Me eating a cheese-covered hot dog in Amsterdam at the end of the night, that looked delicious in the glass case but I'm pretty sure it was quite day-old. But it was still tasty enough.

Also Holland. Katie, Britta, Alex, me, Jessica.

Me, Janis, Britta, Shawna. Out for a beer in Amsterdam.

Me and Janis at the girls' apartment. It was smaller than it looked, considering there were five people there.

Shawna, Janis being photogenic, me with some kinda beard, and Alex.

Foosball! Me, Alex, Steve, Ryan. In Barcelona. Our first night out.

I'm staring at the camera.

I dunno where these light glasses came from.

More foosball. The place we had Thanksgiving. But I don't remember if this was Thanksgiving.

The sign going up the mountain in Barcelona. Looks curiously like a hand signal.

Lights from the boat on the river in Paris. A mistake, that turned out to look cool.

The church on the hill in Paris. Sacre Coeur.

Me going where I shouldn't be, when we were climbing up on top of Sacre Coeur.

Dave, me, and John in the hunt for a piece of famous architecture in Poissy, outside of Paris. Cool church in the background, that we couldn't get into.

Shawna and I in front of some monument thing in Paris.

Shawna and I again.

The greatest meal I had in four months in Europe! In the olive groves outside Florence.

Us at Pompeii. Britta, Nate, Kat, Katie, me, Dave, Shawna, John.

About to go scootering!!

We're getting ready to hit the road.

Shawna was my backseat buddy. Once we started driving, I realized there was a lot of pressure on me to uh, drive safe :) Those scooters were not that safe or easy to drive!
