Colorado!

To conclude my summer travels for the space weather summer camp, I got to go to Boulder, Colorado. It was beautiful, and the weather was amazing.

I was able to go to the Rocky Mountain National Park and hike up a trail to a waterfall. It is definitely a highlight of my entire summer. I love hiking and this was one of the most beautiful hikes I've ever been on, second only to one in Costa Rica.

Like all of the places I've been lucky enough to visit this summer, I only hope that one day I can go back (with Chad <3).

Next travel goal: New Orleans

Germany, Part 2

I'm back from Germany! Unfortunately, I did not have internet access during my last week there, so I haven't been posting as many pictures as I would have liked, but here are some highlights.

This is a Doner Kebab. It is one of the most delicious foods ever. They have many doner restaurants scattered around the cities in Germany. It's similar to a gyro, but it has different sauce and salad on it. And it's about as big as your face, for only 2 or 3 Euros. I'm definitely sad there are none of these locally.

This is the Baltic Sea beach at Juliusruh the only clear day we had. It rained every other day we were there. At least there was this beautiful sunset to make up for it!

We got to visit the city of Stralsund for a day. It was lots of fun just getting to walk around and look at the architecture. We also got to visit the aquarium there, which was very interesting. Plus it was one of the most beautiful days of weather we experienced while in Germany.
