Riley's Adventures

It is sad to leave Germany. When I hit the ground on the airplane at Albany International I felt like there was nothing special in USA after experiencing a year in Europe. We drove back to our house for about 30 min because we were just dropping of our luggage. When I walked in the house I just felt so sad because my body was reminding me that I wasn't in Germany or any other destination in Europe. When I was in Germany, I was planning that when I entered the house for the first time that I would run to my room, but I didn't realize how sad it would be. I looked out the window and saw that there weren't any trams driving by, then plain old cars. It was really sad...

We visited: Athens, Greece Istanbul, Turkey Mykonos, Greece Crete, Greece Santorini, Greece Rhodes, Greece Pathmos, Greece Kursadi, Turkey Me in front of an Athens, Greece Subway My favorite city, was "Istanbul Turkey". They had Trams and Subways(+ Buses), too.

I am waiting for breakfast to be done, on this morning, which is a Friday morning, here in Germany.

Today, we traveled to Vienna. We were on the train for 6 hours, and had our own little space. We went though Prague, Germany, and Austria.  It was sort of fun. The train had outlets on it going up to 230 Volts. I went on my laptop, but they were no Internet Connections. There were some on the train, but they had passwords.  I wrote in my journal.  When I got onto a Vienna regular tram going to our hotel, which was line 62, were like Dresden old trams. We got off at Pauler Strasse, then were standing there, looking at the map, then 10 minutes later, Mom saw a sign leading to the street to the hotel.  We were lucky!  We went out to Starbucks, are had Hot Chocolate. I had a Cookie, Maggie had a Blueberry Muffin.  I wanted Mom to get a snack besides hot chocolate, but she refused.  We went sight seeing on a Tram, the good kind of tram, and Mom saw some Ice Skating Place, and she said we were going to go there tomorrow!  I fall down when I Ic...
