the 6th of December

This is a fake St. Nick (kind of like a mall Santa).

P.S. this one is a girl!

On the 6th of December, Saint Nicholas comes and puts candy and toys in your shoes, but only if you cleaned them on the night before.

 Parents threaten to beat their kids with these sticks, but it's illegal to spank your kids in Croatia.

Shipwreck

This is a sculpture of a ship in an internet cafe that, sadly, only members are allowed in, but we didn't know, so we were allowed to stay.

Where I've been

This shows where I have been in the world. Blue means I have been there. Red means I have lived there. Press the plus button to zoom in.

This is a lamp post. The locks symbolize the love between the two owners of the names written on the locks. If one of the people who writes on the lock wants to break up with the other person, then they have to dive to get the key to the lock.

The Croatians do not celebrate Halloween. Instead they celebrate All Saints Day the next day. All Saints Day is very big in Croatia. Here are some photos of what they do on All Saints:

This was a town that we stayed in. It is near Bad Tolz (bad is bath in latin). The tower in the background is actually a church. This is the inside of the church. the town is called Lenggries which means long gries, a long rubble field filled with deposits of debris from the bed of the isar. The  town is actually quite beautiful, and I personally think that it would be a good stop for people coming out of Munich. Also the town was first mentioned  in the year 1220. The people are quite nice here.

This is our view from our house. The water is the mediterranian sea

this is a photograph taken by my dad . it is a photograph of an almost extinct bird called the griffin vulture. there are only 140 of them known to exist in the world, and we saw nine of them. there wing span is almost nine feet long.

this is hohenswanghou. it was builtby the buvarians. it was the catsle of king ludwig IIs parents.

This is the catsle of Neuschwanstien. it was built by the mad king Ludwig II of buvaria, who was not really crazy, but just very, very eccentric. He liked building castles, but was spending too much of the public's money, so that his cabinet supposedly killed him.

this is my family, as you can see, we over packed. right now, we are in munich, germany. we just got off the plane.

Hi, im guy, and this is my blog about me an my family traveling to Europe for nine months. This photo to the left was taken while we were on the plane. through out my blog, i will have little questions about where we are. anyways keep posted
