but no pictures yet. His is working on getting those posted. We are both typing blog posts at the same time so some of this information is probably going to overlap. Also the Z and Y are reversed on this keyboard so there might be a few typos.
We are having an amazing time. We landed in Munich and hit the christmas market first thing. Well, actuallz we had a braut and beir first and THEN hit the christmas market. The town squares all seem to have massively huge decorated xmas trees. It is kind of like Rockefeller Center but EVERYWHERE.
The next day we went to Linz, Austria, where we stayed on the Danube and enjoyed yet another xmas market.
Then it was on to Cesky Krumlov. I wish I could post pics of this right now but do yourself a favor and google it. It was the perfect place to spend Christmas.
We are now in Prague which is even more gorgeous than I could have imagined. We are about to head of to communism museum and then eat a big mac at the McDonalds located right below the museum. Solidarity.

Merry Christmas From Prague
Here are a few photos from out trip. We are having a great time over here.
The entrance to the Christmas Market in Munich. It is filled with small shops with food and ornaments.
From Munich we hit Linz and then to the small town of Chesky Krumlov. We heard a live action version of Pinachio was filmed here and it is easz to see why.
One of the traditions in Chesky Krumlov is involves the bears kept in a moat outside the castle. On the morning before Christmas, the keepers remove the bears from the moat and let and let the people of the town in to leave treats for the bears. Then the people leave and the bears are let back in to enjoy their own Christmas treats.
For those that know how to get on on Kodak Gallery site, we have a few more pictures there, but it is still only a small portion of what we have taken so far.
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas.

And We're off!
It's been way too long since we posted but for some reason this semester saw us busier than we anticipated.
A few of the highlights:
We passed our Ethics bar so we have now been deemed ethical enough to be lawyers. Go on, make you your jokes.
My rugby team earned the coveted Vermont cup by dominating the tournament this year. I didn't have much to do with the win as I was playing injured and not much good. I blew out my ankle the week before, but thankfully I had an awesome trainer to tape me up so I could play (with the help of some pain killers).
Okay, well, nothing else interesting really happened so on to the new stuff.
We are leaving this today:

To go to this:

Perhaps not much warmer but certainly more scenic. And all we are taking for three weeks is this:

HAPPY HOLIDAYS ALL!
And check back as we fully expect to be posting pictures throughout our trip.
