Tired of Waiting Yet?

You may have been wondering if we are still alive. Well, the answer is yes! We have been back from Europe for almost a month now, sadly. Well, we were tired and ready to come back, but now that we are back I wish we were there again already! Anyways, so we took literally about a thousand pictures on our 3 week trip. It took us awhile to upload them to the computer, sort through them all, get rid of the blurry ones, put captions on them so we would remember what they are all of, then upload them onto our travel blog that we have created. Sad part is, we were almost done with our travel blog when the computer died and now it is in the shop. However, people have been bugging me daily about wanting to see pictures so I am going to post the link to our travel blog even though it isn't all the way finished yet. You will just have to check back next week if you want to see the rest.

Here are a couple of important disclaimers you may want to read before looking at our travel blog: Disclaimer #1: Preston's camera had an unfortunate meeting with the Vlatva River so we had to use mine for the remainder of the trip. Mine has a crack in the lens so if you are wondering why 85% of our pictures have a dark line through them, that is why. Disclaimer #2: Almost everywhere we went, everything, especially all of the cool buildings, were under construction. Churches, cathedrals, museums, castles...you name it. You will notice many of our pictures are of scaffolding. Disclaimer #3: Europe's freeways often do not have shoulders on the side of the road where you can pull over if you decide you want to take a picture. Thus, many of our pictures are blurry from being in a moving car, and some even show the bug splats on the windshield or reflections of whatever was sitting on the dashboard at the time. Sorry about that. Disclaimer #4: We each kept a travel journal each day of our trip, which is what is written on each day of our blog. We realize it is long so you don't have to read it if you don't want to. We won't be too offended if you would rather just look at pictures. Disclaimer #5: Make sure to check if there is more than one page of pictures per blog entry. Disclaimer #6: Last but not least...PICTURES DO NOT DO JUSTICE TO ANY OF THE THINGS WE SAW!! (especially with my terrible camera and photography skills). Just know that everything we saw was 10 times prettier or cooler in real life.

Anyways, that being said, here is the link to our travel blog: http://www.travelblog.org/Bloggers/Amber-and-Preston/Trips/2754 I am also going to post this on the sidebar of this blog in case you want to go back and check it again later when it is finished.
