Well the life of Europe started out crazy when the passport went missing while exiting the plane from Tel-Aviv to Vienna. Yes. Missing. Gone. We can't figure out if it was stolen, or if it was lost... or if someone else from BYU saw it on the ground, thought it was theres and then put it in their stuff. Anyway, a travelers nightmare came true. After a long day, and no sleep that night..and stress trying to pack...and sadness leaving..and then being told by police that I had to go back to Tel-Aviv and couldn't go anywhere, I was brought to tears right in the Vienna airport. Luckily though later in life things got figured out. My friends' mom Mary saved my life there. AND the Jerusalem center luckily gave us copies of our passports to carry around and I had one. SO after convincing the 3rd patrol man, I was allowed to cross the border out of the airport and go into Vienna. But no where else. An illegal immigrant in my new country of Austria.
I can't believe the excitment there. I have so much to blog about and so much to say to people. I want to scream and shout and have everyone I love here with me because this town is amazing. The sights, the smells, the people. It is so fun. After spending plenty, and plenty of time at the US Embassy there, I luckily was issued an emergency passport for 100 euro's...and now we're safe in Prague, Czech. We're staying at this funny posh hostel and sharing bunkbeds with people we've never met before..but it's all part of the adventure. I just tried duck for the first time for dinner cause very few places are open this late. But we are excited to shower in the morning and scope this town inside and out tomorrow. I can't believe that this Europe thing is a reality. I can't believe how lucky I am to have gotten a new passport. I'm depending on the spirit for a lot of things lately, and I'm learning a lot. Just because school is out in Jerusalem, doesn't mean I'm not still learning halfway across the world.
I can't wait to share the adventures. I'll update on here when I get back to the states.
As for now we're heading to bed, after socializing with our bunkmates. We're given a free complimentary beer for staying here, but I don't think we'll take them up on their offer.
I love adventures. I love this world. I love not knowing what we're doing, where we're going, or who is the person standing next to us. That's what makes life good. We picked up a friend on the Prague train from Australia and she's hilarious.
Love to all who actually read this. :)
