the final day

the end has come and today was the final day in europe for tomorrow we fly back across the ocean to chicago. we started the day by taking a boat trip down the danube to walhalla which is modeled as the parthenon. it is filled with marble statues and heads of famous germans. all the people that made an impact on the world in one form or another have been placed in there (not all but a lot have). we got the boat back up the river to regensburg. tricia, hannah, mary and i went to the mall one last time where we got doners and then picked up nouget bits (nutella filled cereal). i had plans of doing some homework when i got back but instead i packed and took a nap. just about everyone went downtown for one last gelato run tonight! reminded me of the first gelato i had in rome and then that started me thinking over the whole trip and all the craziness that has happened. at 9 we all met down at the river we lit a bonfire sang some worships songs and shared memories of the trip. you definitely get close to 30 people when you're with them every single day for 2 months straight. kelley even brought smore stuff for us!! so we made smores on the shore of the danue in close to the trip.
and now it is time for me to go to sleep because we leave at 7am tomorrow and i will get into chicago at 6:30pm. sounds better than it really is.... its more like leave at midnight (chicago time) and get in at 6:30pm (chicago time).
anywho next time i write i'll prolly be state side.
