Salute

I think it's about time for me to leave this former Socialist Country and get back to the USA. I am starting to act more and more like a soilder everyday.

Missing Debrecen

It's hard to believe that soon my time in Debrecen and Hugary will be coming to an end. I have had a great experience learning about the history of Eastern Europe particularly that of Hungary. I have enjoyed learning about the Hungarian heroes who fought against the Ottoman Turks and other invaders. I have learning about the spirit of the Hungarians and their surrival after the German and the Russian occupations. I am very glad that I came to Hungary and this region of the world.

The picture I have posted before but I thought another look at my school would be good. When I walk inside it feels what I imagine Hogwarts in Harry Poter must feel like. It is a grand old building with staircases everywhere.

My Parents

Here is a glimpse of my Parents. They are two of the greatest and kindest people I know. I took this picture after we had climbed to the top of a large mountain in Hawaii this past March. They are my exampe of strength and hard work. Thanks Mom and Dad!

Latest Adventure (Germany)

I got in a car and 12 hours or so later I was in Freiberg Germany looking at the LDS temple. It was a long drive but worth it. I was able to pass through Slovakia and the Czech Republic on my way to Germany. I stayed in a cousy hotel across the street from the Temple and was able to attend multiple sessions during my stay. I loved Germany mainly because of the food. I ate a lot of chocolate and brats! I was able to see one other German city which was Dresden. I really enjoyed this city. It was old and had some beautiful buildings to see. On my travels home I was able to stop in Prague and visit it for the day. I loved how old it felt but was amazed at how many tourists were there even in November. I can't imagine what it is like in the summer. It was shoulder to shoulder trafic as I navigated through the old winding streets. After this trip I needed to get out of the car and take a break from traveling for awhile. Sitting on my bed with a good book sounds more exciting then any city in the world right now.

Latest Adventure (Prague)

This was taken at the main square of the new part of town. Here is where thousands of Czechs protested the Russian Regime. Just behind me there is a memorial honouring two men in 1969 who set themeselves on fire to protest the Russians.

A famous astrological clock in the old town center. Every hour a keleton comes out and rings a bell.

One of the many beautiful churches of Prague. This one reminds me of the castle in Dinsney's Sleeping Beauty.

Here I am.
I would have posted more pictures of Prague but my memory card for some reason was acting funny and deleted my pictures of Charles Bridge (a famous 14th century bridge), the prague castle and hill top views of the city. Oh well.
