Europe In a Backpack: Dresden, Germany & Bruge and Brussels, Belgium
http://katiesackett.blogspot.com/2008/04/dresden-germany-bruge-and-brussels.html
Sunday, April 6, 2008. Dresden, Germany and Bruge and Brussels, Belgium. After Berlin, Abbi and I took a train to Dresden. This city was completely demolished by WWII and we could definitely tell that because all of the buildings were new (like in the states). We definitely loved the waffles and the chocolate, but we didn't experiment too much with the beer, so I can't give you a definite yes or no as to whether that part of the rumor is true. Brussels. wasn't my favorite city. Sure it is home to...What ...

Europe In a Backpack: Last Spring Break Stop: Barcelona
http://katiesackett.blogspot.com/2008/05/last-spring-break-stop-barcelona.html
Friday, May 16, 2008. Last Spring Break Stop: Barcelona. So, I haven't written in a while, so I thought I would finally write about my last stop on spring break: Barcelona. On April 7 (I know, it was a long time ago), Abbi and I took a 6:00 am train from Nice to Barcelona. We were on a train for 13 hours! It was very awkward and amusing. We finally managed to get out of there after an hour. The next day, Abbi and I just hung out. Believe it or not, it's definitely quite tiring traveling around for a ...

Europe In a Backpack: Blog Corrections
http://katiesackett.blogspot.com/2008/03/blog-corrections.html
Monday, March 31, 2008. OK I figured out where I went wrong when I got Thursday and Fridays activities mixed up. Thursday, March 20. We went to the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace, like I said before. But after that, Matt and I headed to the Parliment building (where Big Ben is) and took a tour of that. The Great Hall area was AMAZING! And for some things that I left out of Amsterdam. my first day in Amsterdam (Easter Sunday) was the first time I saw snow all year! Europe In a Backpack.

Europe In a Backpack: Back in Notts
http://katiesackett.blogspot.com/2008/05/back-in-notts.html
Friday, May 16, 2008. So there hasn't been TOO much going on in the past month, but I'll go through some highlights. The next weekend we took our last group field trip to the Lake District National Park. We drove in 2 cars and first stopped near the Yorkshire Dales in a little village called Haworth. This is where the famous Bronte sisters lived. We got a tour of the cottage plus a background information presentation about the family. It was really interesting. It's hard to believe that I will be graduat...

Europe In a Backpack: October 2007
http://katiesackett.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 30, 2007. Some videos that it wouldn't let me post in the last blog. Wow I have a lot to catch up on! I've been so busy, but I don't know with what! After a couple, we decided that we all needed to go to the bathroom, and instead of taking us to a gas-station or something, the bus driver pulls over on the side of the interstate and tells us to go! It was so cool! I only saw these kinds of markets on the movies and I didn't even know they were real! Sunday, October 21, 2007. Anyways, I'm ...

Europe In a Backpack: Paris
http://katiesackett.blogspot.com/2008/04/paris.html
Tuesday, April 22, 2008. I just thought I'd catch up from my spring break. On April 1st, Abbi and I took a French train to Paris in the morning. We checked into our hostel, which happened to be in the ghetto, and went grocery shopping for the next couple of days. We decided that after living on bread and cheese/jam, we deserved some 'real' food. On the tour, we learned more about the Moulin Rouge (fact of the day - Moulin Rouge translates to 'Red Windmill' in French - pretty creative, aye? After the tour...

Europe In a Backpack: The French Riviera
http://katiesackett.blogspot.com/2008/04/french-riviera.html
Wednesday, April 23, 2008. After all this traveling to some of the best cities in (Western) Europe, I was completely stoked to spend my last 9 days in the sunny, 70-degree weather on the Southern Mediterranean coast. Can we say beach time? We got to Nice [pronounced niece] in the afternoon and it was gorgeous! It's right a long the coast, and the Alps were in the background! The next day we headed straight to the beach, naturally. We took. An 80-year old lady goes scuba diving EVERY week! It was a little...
