Vienna, Austria
Well our two days in Austria have been very busy. We started out visiting the St. Stephans Cathedral which has the second tallest steeple in the world. Then we went to a Romans Ruins museum which was only discovered in the 70s when they were working on the sewer system. Then we headed to a clock museum which had over 1000 different clocks dating back to the 1500s. Then we went to Beethovens apartment. We got to see some of his music and even a lock of his hair. Then we spent some time at the Austria Museum looking at hundreds of years of artifacts from this country dating back to the 1200s. After that we went to the famous Prater Park. We walked around and then rode the train through the park. Then we took the tram around the city looking at some of the buildings including the Parliment, National Library, City hall,and some churches. We ate a late supper and then went to bed very tired. Yesterday, we woke up and spent most of the day at Schonbrunn Palace. We took a tour of the beautiful palace. Then we went to three mazes on the grounds. We walked around the grounds and gardens. They had many flowers and huge fountains. We also walked up a hill to a Gloriette that overlooked the Palace and it had great views of Vienna. Then we visited the Carriage Museum. It was my favorite. There were so many amazing and complex carriages that the royalty family used. After that we headed back to the Prater park where we rode the famous Prater ferris wheel looking over Vienna. It was enjoyable and the views were great. Then we ended our last day by heading to see the Danube River. So now we have seen this river in three different countries Austria, Hungary, and Serbia. We went to bed and now today we leave to head back home. We leave around noon and should be back in the states around 830 Charleston time, 3am Vienna time. We had a great time and hope you all enjoyed our Blog. See you all very soon!!!!!!!!

Sarajevo, Bosnia
Hello Again,
Well first of all the kezboards are different and some words maz be spelled wrong. We made it safelz to Sarajevo on Fridaz. We walked all around trzing to find the best place to staz. We reallz wanted a place with AC especiallz coming from Mostar with extreme heat and no ac. Well after the hour and half of walking around the hillz town, we did not find ac but it is okaz. We have been sweating like crazy here. It is so hot around 98 and no where has ac. The town is reallz prettz but there is lots of visual affects of the war. But looking at pictures from right after the war thez have come so far. We have been visiting manz historical sites. We visited the damaged historz museum zesterdaz. It had the war stuff. It was so hot inside and between that and the horrible, sad, bloodz pictures my stomach couldnćt take it and I came close to passing out. It was extremelz mind blowing on how people can be so cruel to each other. Thez had artifacts from a shelling of a school who killed several elementarz students and a teacher. Thez had on displaz bloodz books, school work, bookbag, markers, and even the teachers grade book. Verz touching. We then went to the tunnel museum which was dug from a families garage under the airport to provide safe escaping and aid into the citz. We actuallz got to go inside the tunnel a little wazs. There are manz manz buildings with bullet holes in the sides. We also saw the Holidaz Inn which was the onlz functioning hotel during the war mainlz for journalist, we walking on a road know as sniper allez and saw the libarz that was burnt destrozing 300 zears of documents and papers. Todaz we hiked up a hill to a fortress look out over the citz a prettz view. Then we stood in the spot were Frantz Ferdinand was assasinated which started the first world war. We have also went to the olympic headquarters building. not much to see it was also damaged during the war. We are stilling enjozing our trip however I canćt stress how hot it is here.

Mostar, Bosnia
Hello,
Well our 4 hour bus ride from Budva to Mostar ended up being 6 on a bus with a driver wanting to take his last drive. He drove CRAZY. It is pretty bad when the man sitting next to you pulls out is catholic rosary and prayers out loud a lot. You had to hold on all the time. I was so sick and nausuaded. We had to go through Croatia and at the boarder the patrol came on our bus and check our passports they asked a man to get off we watched and they checked through his bags then we just left him. Who knows what the deal was with that. We finally made it and we got a room from a guy at the bus station. It is really nice. Mostar is beautiful yet sad. There are many buildings demolished from the war and a lot of evidence. The cemetaries are filled with tombs that date in 93-95. We are very near the old town and we have visited many musuems and buildings. It is extremely hot here and without an ac at night we sweated like you would not believe our first night. We both woke up feeling very ill. We got a banana and juice and felt to weak to walk around. We borrowed a fan from our host guy and ended up taking a nap for about half a day, then we felt somewhat better after lots of fluids. I however have a cold too. Allergies here are killing me. I do feel somewhat better today. Today we walked around some more and took a bus to a near by town about 30 min. We went to see a river gushing out of a cave in the mountains. They were neat, we also went inside a Tekija a devish monastery. I had to put this wrap around my legs and then a shawl covering my hair and arms. We saw the oldest toliet in the western balkins there. When then hiked up this mountain to a 15century fort. It was great because we were on this mountain and inside the fort all alone it is not visited very often. The views were amazing. We have also visited several mosque and 5 times a day they say a prayer over the sound speakers which is the call to pray. It is very interesting to hear. Except for it wakes you up around 4 in the morning and it goes on until late at night. We will leave tomorrow at 753 on a train to Sarajevo. We will talk back soon it may not be everyday but as often as we can. sometimes we dont have access to the internet. Love you all!!!

Budva, Montenegro
Hello All,
Well we arrived in Montenegro on Saturday. We had a beautiful train ride from Belgrade. The moutains were amazing! We went through some many tunnels I couldn't even begin to count them all. There were so many gorges and steep peeks. The closer we got to the Adriatic Sea the better it got. The water is sooooo clear and blue. Once we got off the train in Bar we took a bus about an hour to Budva were we are staying. We got a room from a lady in the bus station. She lives very near the Stari Grad "the walled old town on the water" We spent Saturday at the beach, however it was not anything like our beaches back home. You literally could not find a place to put your towel down. It was so busy. "Mr. Rick I thought about you, it was way to many people for me ha ha" We still enjoyed it though. The water was very cold. I didn't expect it to be as cold as it was and the sand was pebbles and rocks. The views were great. At night we walked along the harbor strip and inside the walled town. It is really neat and so much to take in. On Sunday, we took a bus about 30minutes to a town called Kotor. It is actually the largest fjord in eastern europe. Again so beautiful, tall mountains and clear blue water. We hiked up to the fortress on top of the mountain over looking the town. It was a very hot day and we surely got our exercise from the steep hike, but well worth the views from up top. That night we ate supper at a Resturant on the water. It was very good we both had seafood pasta. There has been a wildfire on the mountain not very far from Budva. After supper you could see the orange blaze. It was very sad but by yesterday there was only a little bit left. Yesterday, Monday we took a boat to a nearby island called Hawaii. We spent the day on this island. It was great with very little people around. It was hot and we enjoyed the cold water to swim in. Even though it was not a nudist beach there were many topless girls and children and a few in completely nude. Again so different from home and I still have'nt yet got use to all that :) Mrs. Nancy you can tell Uncle Louie, Jessea tried to be him with the video camera on the beach with the interesting views like when we went to Mt. Baldy and the man taking a bath in the stream. He will know what we are talking about. Also tell him Jessea wasn't nearly as good as he was though with the camera ha ha. Anyway, we had planned to leave this morning on the 8:40 bus to Mostar, Bosnia, however the bus information lady told us wrong yesterday. We got up around 7 and walked to the bus station to buy tickets and they said it doesn't leave until 2:10 this afternoon, so we have been killing time for six hours. Then we have a 4+ hours ride to Bosnia. Budva has been a beautiful place to visit. It is quite expensive though. They use the euro here and from what we are told a lot of Russian, and Europeans vacation here. Everyone thinks we are from Poland or England and so suprised that we "Americans" are visiting here. When they find out where we are from they always ask "Why here?" It is pretty funny, because they call us america. At the resturant by the water the owner came up to us and asked where we are from once we told him he called us america the entire time. They even had live music at the resturant, they ended up playing John Denver's song Country Rose and the owner came over to Jessea and shook is cap and said "don't cry america" It was funny then when we left he yelled out bye america.We are having a great time. I am starting to really miss the unlimited amount of tap water I can get from back home. This is not the case here. I seem to always be craving ice cold water and I am so thirsty all the time. Anyways, Well we will talk again soon, We miss you!

Belgrade, Serbia
Hello Again,
This is our second full day in Belgrade. It is a really nice city. Everyone is very friendly here. Yesterday we walked around the city looking at old buildings and churchs. Then we spent most of the day in Kalemegdan a fortress. It was a really interesting place on the cornor of two rivers. Inside the fortress we toured a military museum and a museum with artifacts from the fortress. Last night we went to eat supper at a resturant for Jessea's birthday. We ate at the oldest resturant in Belgrade called ? It was good I had stuffed chicken and Jessea had lamb. Then we ate ice cream and went to an international folk festival. We watched several different countries dance in traditional costumes. It was very nice. We walked around looking at the night life of Belgrade and then went to sleep. Today 13th, We walked around some more and visited the largest orthadox cathedral in the world. It was started in 1935 and is actually still under construction today. We took a bus over the river to a nearby hungarian town which is now called new belgrade. We walked on cobble stone roads and walked up a hill to an old tower overlooking the city below. We have been walking a lot! We also stopped by the goverment buildings that were bombed by NATO in 99'. They were sad to see. It is 6pm now and at 11:10pm we will be boarding a night train to Montenegro. We bought a sleeper cart this time and hopefully we can sleep better than our last over night trip. We will get to Bar around 8 in the morning and then we will have to take a bus about 1-2 hours to Budva. It is on the Adratic Sea. It will be nice to be by the beach for a few days. We will talk back when we get there. Until then Love you all!!!

Heudin, Romaina and Belgrade, Serbia
Wow oh Wow what an adventure we are having. Monday the 11th went arrived in a small village in Romania. Jess stayed there before. Before getting on the train to go there we were approached by a gypsy kid. Jess gave her a piece of candy and wanted something from me. I said no and she was a bother not wanting to leave. She got fed up with me and made bad faces, placed a curse on me, and spit towards us. It is all good though! We left around 12pm and arrived in Heudin around 5. It was an awesome village, so cute and country. Everyone in the village has horse and wagons they rode to and from the fields to bring in hay, etc. In the morning the herdsman would walk through the town picking up each families one or two cows and taking them out to the hill side and at night they would bring them back. It was neat watching because the cows knew exactly who was there owner. The little old women who stand out by their gate and wait for their cow. There was also shepards with sheep on the hillside. We walked there right before we left yesterday to watch them milk the sheep. One of the old men shepards got a little to close for my comfort. It was NOT enjoyable. A little shookend up but okay now. We had good food at this homestay Mrs. Nancy. Traditional meat and rice rolled up in cabbage one night and cucumber salad, hungarian noodles and mystery meat another night. We seem to be eating a lot of myster meat. We had an extremely long night last night. We left the village at 850 pm, switched trains at 12am switched trains again at 5am and arrived in Belgrade today around 1 pm. We did gain an hour though. We had very little sleep of course and sharing a 8 person compartment was not that pleasant. Then this morning on our train from 5-1 which crossed the boarder, we just so happend to be in the compartment with a smuggler. Yes! She was smuggling items across the boarder. CRAZY! She was very pushy and demanding but was saw the secert compartments in the train car. We even sneaked a few pictures and video clips of her. It was wild and unimaginable. I went from yesterday at 6pm until today at 3 before being able to go to the bathroom. I was not about to go on the trains. Disgusting. We also went from yesterday at 5 until tonight at 430 with only 5 crackers each to eat. We came in to Belgrade a day early and had a little trouble finding a place to stay. We end up finding a hotel. So we took a nap and then went out to eat some food and look around. So far the city is friendly. We plan on staying here through tomorrow for J's birthday. Hope all is well, we love you and will talk back soon!!!!!

Sighisoara, Romania
Hello,
Today is Sunday and we have been spending the day in Sighisoara. We got here this morning around 1030. Our train ride was great. We saw sunflower fields, sheperds with the flocks of sheep, men with leased cattle grassing, and beautiful peak mountains. We found a room in a mans house right in the center of the town. It is a very beautiful city. Similar to a Medival times fortress with watch towers, clock towers, churches and stone everywhere. The streets are cobble stone and the houses are rainbow colors. We have spent the day walking around the city. We toured the Clock tower. Inside was a museum with items dating back to the 1500s. The view was great from the tower too. We bought our train tickets for tomorrow and will leave around 1200pm for a village called Huedin. It will take us around 4-5 hours to get there. I am very tired today. We have been walking up and down the hills. I hope all is well with everyone back home. I haven't been able to upload any pictures yet because the computer so far have been too old. Talk soon,

Hello All,
Well, we finally made it after sitting on the run way in New York for 2 hours and 20min in a line of 35+ airplanes to leave for take off. Our flight after that was okay, some turbulance though from a storm. I got very sick upon landing. I suppose it was from very little sleep, an empty stomach, and really bad turbulance. We landed around 1:10 Romanian time. Bucharest is nice. We walked around a little last night after our arrival and went to be around 7:30. Today we visited a few churches, historical buildings where the revolution of 1985 took place. We saw gun holes in some of the buildings, We toured the 2nd largest building in the world next to the Pentagon. It was called the Palace of the People. We also walked down this street where they were exculvating because the people just build on top of previous foundations. We saw human remains just lying there. bones, a rib cage, and an entire skeleton. It was very intersting. Everything was just exposed and they were digging with shovels. I took picures for all to see :) Well,We are leaving tomorrow morning around 5 am for Sighisoara a city surrounded by a wall. It will take us about 4-5 hours on train to get there. I miss you all, Talk to you soon. C and J
