Well mark that one for the books, I officially completed my 3 week journey through western Europe all alone and made it to Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Italy (skiied into Italy), and France! 5 countries and about 12 different Citys and Towns I visited! I went to Salzburg, Munich, Innsbruck, Zurich, Luzern, Interlaken, Zermatt, Cervino*, Chamonix*, Paris, and to Cherbourg (normandy). My favorite places were probably Cervino Italy and Chamonix, because they reminded me of Durango, very small friendly towns surrounded by enormous mountains and alot of outdoor activities! The past 3 weeks have been crazy and I just arrived back in my quiet apartment. I feel like I am still on that 17hour ferry ride that I took from Cherbourg, France to Killare, Ireland, as I sitting here slowing moving back and fourth how the ship was. I have been traveling so much the past few days I am pretty exhausted. I have soooo many stories, photos, and experiences to share, I don’t even know where to begin! I am so glad I made it out and explored Europe, there were highs and lows of the trip, but overall I know that I will remember this forever. I am so grateful to have supportive friends and family members that take great care of me, I love you all! I will work on getting some photos up and out next week and sharing some stories. As for now, I am gonna crash really hard because the past 3 weeks have been nonstop. Just wanted to let you guys know that I am Alive and Well! I will update this more as I find time and energy to! THanks and GoodBye! Have a Great Weekend!

The Oscar Wilde overnight 18 hour Ferry cruise from Cherbourg-Normandy, France to Rosslare, Ireland!

After arriving in Rosslare at 4pm, I took a 3 hour bus ride from Rosslare to Dublin, then a 4 hour bus ride from Dublin to Galway, 7 hours on a bus! I managed to pull 25 hours of non-stop commuting in one day! Got into Galway at 11pm, from the bus station I walked to a pub where I met up with some friends for a beer, then finally made it back to my home to crash for the night! Crazy 3 weeks of non-stop travels!
