<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">After a courageous year and a half battle with cancer, my aunt passed away peacefully in early June. Her beautiful obituary is posted below:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>Regina K. Murphy, “Jeannie”, of Hingham, was the daughter of
Ralph MacDonald and Sarah Fenton MacDonald, born on June 22, 1951, in Portland,
Maine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was the third of four
siblings, including her sister Teresa and her brothers Rick and John.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She attended grade school at St. Patrick’s and
graduated from Portland High School in 1969. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>After high school, Jeannie pursued her passions for teaching
and working with children by earning a dual degree in Early Childhood
Development and Home Economics from the University of Maine at Farmington. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>In 1976, while living in Kingston, MA, friends set up
Jeannie with a handsome, young firefighter from the neighborhood named Kevin
Murphy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Despite early troubles
understanding his thick Dorchester accent, Jeannie soon fell in love and the
two were married in 1977. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>At Whitman-Hanson and Weymouth High Schools, Jeannie taught
preschool classes in the mornings and high school Home Ec. in the
afternoon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jeannie cleverly arranged for
her Home Ec. students to partner up with the nursery school children on a
one-on-one basis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The experiment was a
resounding success: It was an early parenting lesson for the high school
students, and an opportunity for some shy youngsters to hang with the big kids.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another special treat was when Kevin would
visit class in his full fireman gear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Mrs. Murphy was a pretty cool teacher to have. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>Jeannie and Kevin purchased their first home in South
Weymouth, MA, and Jeannie joined the local Welcome Wagon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They started a family and had two lovely
boys, Eric and Matthew.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A German
Shepherd was always part of the Murphy home, and over the years Jeannie came to
love Jake, Rocco and Samantha very much. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>In 1988, Jeannie and Kevin finally settled into their dream
home in Hingham.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The small blue house on
the corner with a wrap around porch gave Jeannie a canvas to create beautiful
gardens, and a place to form close friendships with neighbors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The window boxes lining the porch were a
local landmark-always brimming with color to signal the seasons and to
celebrate the holidays.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nobody did the
holidays like Jeannie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At Thanksgiving
and Christmas the house was aglow with candles and filled with the aromas of
cooking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Opening presents on Christmas
morning was always a big event, and stories of great gifts trickled down for
decades.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jeannie loved to report that
she started buying and hiding Christmas gifts around the house--in August. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>When their two sons went away for college, Jeannie returned
to Maine with Kevin to spend time in the same cottage that she knew as a
child.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They quickly re-adapted to the
easy-going Maine lifestyle and never looked back. Jeannie loved to watch the
sun rise over the ocean in the morning, and to grill with family and friends in
the late afternoon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She immersed herself
in the community, volunteering with the Ocean Park Association and the
Salvation Army – and occasionally judging the local dog dress-up contest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Evenings were spent lounging on the screen
porch laughing with family and friends, playing cribbage, or just relaxing with
a cool glass of white wine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The soft
pink light shining on the porch at night signaled an open invitation for
neighbors to stop by for a cocktail and conversation. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>Jeannie was a model patient and was endlessly grateful for
the wonderful care she received from all of her nurses and doctors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She used her crafting talent to assemble
small gifts for them during the holidays, and always greeted the medical staff
with a wonderful smile no matter the circumstances.</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">When she spoke about her own legacy, Jeannie was always
proudest of the two wonderful and gracious sons she had raised, and was
extremely thankful for the decades of unconditional love she shared with her
husband, Kevin.</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">She passed away
peacefully and comfortably on the sunny morning of June 8, 2014, with Kevin
close by her side.</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">She will be missed by
many dear friends and family, and will always be on our minds and in our
hearts.</span></i></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">Introducing Bennett, my new best friend! I adopted him from the <a href="http://animalwelfaresociety.org/" target="_blank">Animal Welfare Society</a> in Kennebunk. They think he is part Australian Shepherd, part some kind of retriever. He enjoys digging in the sand, sleeping in the middle of doorways & kitchens, and hogging my bed.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Last time I wrote about a running event is was my 10K-- my next goal was a half marathon. My freshman year roommate, Colleen, and I had pick out a race at the end of April. Unfortunately, spots sold out before we had the opportunity to sign up. Instead we compromised with a 15K race (9.3 miles) in early May.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large; text-align: justify;">We ran the <a href="http://www.tri-valleyfrontrunners.com/Tune-Up/Tune-Up-announcement.htm" target="_blank">Boston Tune-Up 15K</a>. The majority of runners were prepping for the Boston Marathon, so clearly I did not win the race. I completed it in 1:52:41, which was just shy of my twelve minute mile goal. Next up is hopefully a half marathon mid-July.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So far some time off from school has been exactly what I needed-- it has left me plenty of time to spend afternoons in the park with Solo.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Since graduation, my best friend since high school, <a href="http://nnb0812.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Natalie</a>, has been living in Panama. I had always said I was going to visit, but our plans finally came to fruition over spring break.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">I was only there for a week but Natalie had a schedule lined up so I would see as much of Panama as possible. Natalie, who has since returned home, was living with a Panamanian so we got the native's perspective of the country.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The flight down was painless, we spent Monday(the day I arrived) evening taking a driving tour of Panama City and catching up. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Bright and early Tuesday we drove from Panama City to Venao Cove in Pedasi, with a stop for lunch and zip lining in El Valle de Anton. We didn't arrive to Venao Cove until late, but out hostel was directly on the beach (Pacific Ocean side). It was about a billion degrees but we fell asleep to the sound of the ocean.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">We woke up early Thursday morning to make the trip to San Blas (Atlantic Ocean side). We did a tour, and the company picked us up right outside of Natalie's apartment, drove us the two hours to San Blas, and back. It was BEAUTIFUL. Words could never describe how much like paradise this place was. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I spent my first two months in Boston crashing with Rachel.

In theory this sounds like a really great place to throw a mattress on the floor and live with relatively cheap rent. However, living on the third floor with slanted ceilings and no windows was not all I had hoped for.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">After finally settling into the city, and getting my wits about me, I began the apartment hunt. I was able to find a new apartment on Craigslist, still in Brighton, closer to the green line. This means a shorter commute, oh, and WINDOWS! I'm living with a high school teacher (she's great!), and the cutest little peekapoo (pekingese/poodle), Solo.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As some of you may know I've been on a bit of a fitness kick lately. I started running in the spring, and started off not even being able to run a full mile. I completed by first 5K at the end of July, crushing my personal record, and decided to set my sights on a 10K.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I ran the <a href="http://trails.org/" target="_blank">Portland Trails</a> Trail to Ale 10K at the end of September! It rained the majority of the run, but I did it!! My goal was to finish in 1:15:00, miraculously, I completed it in 1:06:45!! After 3 knee surgeries I <u>never</u> thought I'd call myself a runner, but here I am. Not too shabby if I do say so myself.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Next up? Hopefully a half marathon in the spring!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It's October, and I'm a month into grad school, how is that possible?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I'm taking 18 credits, one of them is yoga so technically it's only 17. However, grad school credits are not like undergrad grads. They're scary, and hard.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">At this point I'm not working. I thought maybe I would, but the first week of classes crushed that dream. But really, how am I supposed to get this all done? The professor of my Women, Children, and Adolescents class (who reminds me of all of my Wheaton WS professors) told us the trick is not to actually read anything, just skim, skim, skim.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I'm taking: </span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Foundations of Environmental Health</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Intro to Epidemiology</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Women, Children, & Adolescents: Public Health Approaches</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Biology of Public Health</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Introduction to Biostatistics</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My brain hurts just thinking about it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I'm living in Brighton. The commute is a little daunting depending on the time of the day I'm trying to get to campus, but I've gotten used to it. The bus offers so many opportunities to people watch.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">After a fantastic weekend spent on campus and in Boston, I have officially accepted my offer to attend the Boston University School of Public Health in the fall!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">The accepted students day was really informative and helped to solidify my decision even further to attend BU. I got to meet with professors and students from my concentration, <a href="http://sph.bu.edu/Degree-Programs-and-ConcentrationsSub-Pages/master-of-public-health-with-a-concentration-in-international-health/menu-id-617346.html" target="_blank">International Health</a> (IH). I also may have been swayed into adding a second concentration, <a href="http://sph.bu.edu/Degree-Programs-and-ConcentrationsSub-Pages/master-of-public-health-concentration-in-maternal-a-child-health/menu-id-617114.html" target="_blank">Maternal and Child Health</a> (MCH). I talked to a couple of the MCH professors about some of my interests and they invited me to an alumni reception their concentration was having that evening. They were all so brilliant and wonderful, I felt like I was back at a Wheaton Women's Studies event-- that awesome.</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">I picked up lots of tips and tricks throughout the day about financial aid, registering for classes, and getting the most out of BU in general. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">I feel so happy, excited, and lucky. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is exactly where I'm meant to be.</span></div>

<br /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">
I have officially been accepted into the Boston University Master of Public
Health program with a concentration in International Health, and my hope would
be to focus on Sex, Sexulaity, Gender, and Health. A mouth full, but exactly
the focus I want. I also was very fortunate to receive a merit scholarship,
which helps make the decision a little bit easier, but I’m still not 100% sure
if I’m going to go. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Why you ask? Well, that’s a complicated question.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">While I know this is the program I want to do, it’s more of a question
of do I want to do it right now? Or should I wait until next fall? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">As most of you know, my plan was to head to Africa, not take a causal
year off before grad school. While it wasn’t what I had intended, having time
off was kind of a blessing in disguise. It allowed me to take a month in
Europe, visit friends in DC multiple times, go to Arizona for two weeks, and
just generally lead a pretty low key existence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">I got my acceptance email and I panicked. Do I want to do this yet? If I
took another year I could visit <a href="http://nnb0812.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Natalie</a> in Panama, or Lauren in
California, or go back to Europe and explore some more with <a href="http://classicbulgaria.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Hannah</a>. I could take more time to travel and volunteer, all without having the
ridiculous amount of student loan payments that grad school will add to my
plate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Then there is the questioning of financing. While BU is a great program,
it isn’t cheap. I know as a grad student I won't have any problem finding
someone to give me a loan, but how will I ever pay them back? Should I work
full time and go to school part time to try to spread out the payments? What if
I just took the loans, hammered school out in 3 semesters and then started
paying? What if I took a year off to save some more? The last thought is just
laughable because if I’m not in school, I’m going to be travelling, not saving.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">As you can see, I have a lot to think about and mull over. I’m stressing
myself in circles, which really isn’t much of a surprise. I’m waiting for my
financial aid packet, and for the accepted students day on campus at the end of
April before I make any official decisions.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">I woke up early on the morning of the 17th to meet up with family to head into South Boston. We arrived far too early, but easily filled
up our spare time with drinks and laughs. The house we were at was right on the
parade route, by the time the parade finally ran by us it was mid-afternoon
and everyone was a bit silly. Shane Lea and I enjoyed the parade, getting free
candy and taking every free give away we could get our hands on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
After the parade we headed back to Brighton for some
libations at a local bar. It was a fun day, that ended with lots of greasy food
and bagpipers walking in and performing at the bar. That’s what Saint Patrick’s
Day is all about, right?</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">I am fortunate beyond belief to have had the opportunity to enjoy seven
different countries with such different cultures and histories. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">While I’d love
to be able to list all the things this trip has taught me, it would be quite
impossible to encapsulate all the things I learned about the world and myself
during my month is Europe. Mostly because a lot of what I've learned is abstract, or
haven’t even hit me yet. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">After some thought I have created a small list of
concrete items that I have learned that I will carry with me in all of my
future travels:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">1. Some cities have more than one train station. Always look into that before getting off at a random train station in an unfamiliar city after dark where no one speaks English.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">2. Going off of #1, if you know you're going to be arriving into a city after dark or on a weekend when things may not be open, be sure to be prepared and exchange some money into your destinations currency beforehand. You may not be lucky enough to have a Mcdonald's convert Euros into Czech Crowns for you. Also, a map wouldn't hurt either.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">3. A lot of cities have companies that offer <i>free</i> tours! While there is no up front cost, it is recommended that you tip the tour guide, but it is still cheaper than most other big fancy tours-- especially if you're on a budget.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">4. If you're traveling in the winter months bring a hat and gloves. Seriously, no matter how tough you think you are.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">5. Staying in different areas of a city is a nice way to experience all the different sub-cultures without having to trek from one side of the city to the other every day.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">6. Staying in a hostel? Headlamp, ear plugs, and eye mask. Waking up well rested ready for a new day of adventure is worth every ounce of embarrassment you may feel from those three very important accessories.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">7. Eastern Europe? Be sure to bring <a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/Coleman-Toiler-Paper-Campers-3-Pack/13848626" target="_blank">travel toilet paper</a> in your bag. I promise.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">8. Staying in a party hostel the first night you arrive after an international flight is not a good idea. As much energy as you may think you're going to have, you will be jet lagged and want a clean shower.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">9. Get to the train station early, always, no excuses. No one speaks English and trying to communicate always includes charades, and you still don't always get an answer. Leave yourself plenty of time or you'll be sprinting through a train station with a 30 lbs backpack weighing you down.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">10. A <a href="http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/45760?feat=3892-GN3&page=therm-a-rest-compressible-pillow-medium" target="_blank">Therm-a-Rest Compressible Pillow</a> can get you through anything. 10 hour overnight bus? 24 hours of travel? Dirty hostel? Train ride? No problem. I will never travel with out this puppy.</span></div>

Budapest you can’t stay anywhere else, seriously. Everyone was super friendly; there was something
to do every night. Our room had a balcony that looked over the busy street.
Clearly, we loved this place.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

first night we went to this really cheap all you can eat buffet, stopped and
got some really cheap beers on our way home, and then met up with the hostel
for a free pub crawl, which went to all of the best ruin bars. Ruin bars are
located in formerly abandoned buildings that local artists have gone in and
decorated, recycling the old buildings into popular bars with an interesting
flair.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

side is referred to a Pest, and the hilly side is Buda.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Keelin found 2 guard stations, and we tried to find this cool labyrinth we read about, but it turned out to be a total tourist trap.</span></div>

Built in 1908 there are more than 12 thermal baths and five swimming pools.The water was over 100 degrees. There were interactive bubblers, a huge fountain, even lounging areas to sit in the water.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">For our last night our plan was to get dinner, have a few drinks, sober
up early, pack and go to bed. That idea didn’t fly. We ending up getting dinner
and a few drinks, and then a few more drinks, and then a few more. Keelin and I
both got about an hour of sleep before getting up at 6am to get ready to catch
our flight. We handed the airline attendant our passports to check in, oh
what’s that? Our flight has been cancelled due to snow in Frankfurt? We could
have slept an extra five hours? Wonderful. They rerouted us through Munich and
we ended up getting home two hours earlier than we were originally supposed to.
Although we had a long wait at the airport, everything worked out just fine.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">We went to see the
opera house, Wiener Staatsoper, and then spent our afternoon at the Frued Museum. </span></div>

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">We split up after, Keelin headed to the Snowglobe Museum and I went to the Das Wiener Riesenrad, a ferris wheel in the city amusement park. My trip wasn’t without some adventure. I had a little bit of a run in with the authorities. There was a debacle with the metro police-- I didn’t have the right metro ticket, they told me I had to pay a 100 Euro fine on the spot, I didn’t have the money, they threatened to call the police and arrest me. Eventually, the metro police just let me go and I got to ride my ferris wheel, but there were a couple minutes where it was pretty scary.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">The train ride from Munich was short and we navigated pretty seamlessly
to our hostel. Compared to all of the big cities we’ve been staying in, this
little town tucked in the hills was a nice break. The big attraction to
Salzburg is all the locations where <i>The Sound of Music</i> was filmed, which
is exactly what led us there-- Keelin is a super fan of the movie, while I
thought being in the hills might be a nice change of scenery.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">We stayed in the <a href="http://www.yoho.at/" target="_blank">Yoho International Youth Hostel</a>, we really liked it. We stayed in a six
person dorm, that was never full, with a table perfect for planning and big,
bright windows. Also, they had a nightly showing of <i>The Sound of Music</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Salzburg, the home of Mozart, is fairly small. For
the most part Keelin and I split up to do out exploring. Highlights from the
city include:</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">The train to Munich was easy. Keelin has a German
friend, Miriam, living in Munich so we were lucky to have a place to stay and
to have a local to show us around and give us advise on the best places to go!
Also, our first morning she made us a traditional Bavarian breakfast—white
sausage and pretzel!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Getting
to Prague was our first adventure using our Eurorail pass and travelling by
train. Figuring out opening the train doors open and finding a seat was an
adventure, but we eventually figured it all out and got ourselves to Prague.
However, we didn’t realize there were TWO train stations, and we got off at the
wrong one. It took us a while to determine that, and then took some conniving
to get ourselves to the hostel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">We
stayed in a hostel called <a href="http://www.czech-inn.com/" target="_blank">Czech Inn</a>. While it was a little ways out of city
center, it was a great hostel. It was more like a chic hotel than a hostel—there
were towel warmers! We spent our first night in a Czech bar and we were
literally the only foreigners. Beers were cheap and it was a good environment.
We went back another night and there were puppies! Why aren’t American bars dog-friendly?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">We
spent our next couple of days meandering and sight seeing. We tried to go to
the National Museum but it is closed for a year or so for renovations. The
building is huge and beautiful. It overlooks Wencesias Square, which is full of
shopping and tourists. We spent some time meandering Old Town Square and a near
by tourist market.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">One
of our big activities was the Jewish Museum, which is spread out across the old
Jewish Ghetto in several synagogues. The <a href="http://www.jewishmuseum.cz/en/a-ex-pinkas.htm" target="_blank">Pinkas Synagogue</a> is dedicated to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust from Bohemia and Moravia; about 80,000 names are inscribed on it's walls. I had read about it and it sounded interesting, but walking into it and seeing the endless names that covered every wall from floor to ceiling was very moving. </span></div>

also went to the Prague Castle, which is </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">where the Kings of Bohemia, Holy Roman Emperors and presidents of Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic have had their offices. According to all the signs hanging around Prague, the Prague Castle is one of the largest ancient castle in the world. We accidentally got their right at noon and got to see the drawn out changing of the guard!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">I slept the majority of the ten hour overnight bus ride from Amsterdam to Berlin. Getting in at 6 AM to a bus station at an unknown location in Berlin was a wonderful test of our travel savvy, we survived. We made it to our hostel, <a href="http://www.heartofgold-hostel.de/" target="_blank">Heart of Gold</a>, and luckily they didn't make us wait to check in. We went right upstairs and napped. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">We started with another free <a href="http://www.newberlintours.com/" target="_blank">walking tour</a>, equally freezing, but this one lasted almost four hours and covered just about everything on our list of things we wanted to see. We learned so much about the city and how it changed during WWII and under Communism, the history of the city is really mind blowing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">After the tour we were both done for the day. We found a cute restaurant, ate sausage, drank beer, and had an easy night.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">We woke up early the next day to catch our tour of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sachsenhausen_concentration_camp" target="_blank">Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp</a> north of the city. The camp was a very throught provoking experience. I'm really glad we did it, and our <a href="http://www.newberlintours.com/daily-tours/sachsenhausen-memorial.html" target="_blank">tour</a> was very informative, but it was a very exhausting day.</span></div>

The gallery was one of my favorite parts of Berlin.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">We flew into Eindhoven in the south of the country, and had to take a bus to a train to get into Amsterdam. Amsterdam is amazingly beautiful. The city is spotlessly clean, has beautiful buildings, and endless canals. My first thought was literally, "Can I stay here for ever?" Hannah can attest to it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Against my better judgement I let Hannah book us in a Christian hostel, <a href="http://www.shelter.nl/" target="_blank">Shelter City</a>, our first night. It ended up being clean, quiet, and cheap-- my favorite things. Our hostel was on the outskirts of the Red Light District (RLD)-- there were windows right on our street-- we did a lot of walking and exploring that first night. The RLD is a lot to take in and digest, I'm going to refrain from using this as a space to even begin thinking about that. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">The next morning we moved to our new hostel, <a href="http://www.flyingpig.nl/" target="_blank">The Flying Pig</a>. It was essentially the exact opposite of Shelter City. Keelin arrived that morning and met us at the hostel. We didn't give her much time to rest before we were off for the day. An absolutely freezing day, we decided to spend our afternoon on a three hour <a href="http://www.newamsterdamtours.com/" target="_blank">walking tour</a>. I would highly recommend the tour to other travelers, but perhaps on a warmer day. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">We did a day of markets-- Noordermarkt, Albert Cuypmarkt, and Waterlooplein-- with brief interruptions for the Jewish Quarter and Vincent Van Gogh Museum. We ended the day at the Heineken Factory, which got pretty silly. The tour came with three free beers, and we (mostly Hannah) acquired another four between us. They basically had to kick us out when they closed at 7 PM. It was one of our favorite activities.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">We spent our final night in another Christian hostel, but in the area of Jordaan, not the RLD. We woke up early to get to the <a href="http://www.annefrank.org/en/Museum/" target="_blank">Anne Frank Huis</a> before the line got too long. The museum was absolutely fascinating, but perhaps not the most upbeat to spend out last morning. Next, we were off to do an hour long canal cruise! It was a nice way to get out of the rain and cold, but also gave us a really interesting perspective of the city.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">We woke up the morning of our trek to the capital, Sofia, to learn that the Bulgarian Prime Minister, and essentially government, had resigned, no big deal. More information on the resignation can be found <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/21/world/europe/bulgarian-government-is-reported-set-to-resign.html?_r=0" target="_blank">here</a>. We knew that there had been protests going on, but could have never have guessed the government would casually resign. The perfect time to head to the capital, right?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">We took a four hour bus ride from Sliven to Sofia. On our way from the bus station to Hannah's friends house, another Fullbright-er who was letting us sleep on her couch, we tried to stop to see the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral but it was closed for some reason.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">The parking lot next to the cathedral was full of busses of police officers in riot gear. Casual. That was really the only sign of any unrest that we saw. For the most part all the Bulgarians were carrying on like they didn't even know their Prime Minister had stepped down.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">We walked from the Cathedral to Hannah's friend Shelby's apartment. There were two other Fullbrighters visiting so their was no lack of action. Shelby has this adorable dog named Pri, which is short for <i>friend</i> in Bulgaria. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large; text-align: justify;">We arrived in to Bulgaria past midnight on a Sunday/Monday morning and lets just say my first impression at night was much different than during the light of day. We had to get up early Monday to be at school by 7:30 am, ugh. We had to entertain seven classes, mostly by making them ask me questions. </span></div>
