My friend Anna, from Elon, and I in front of the Eiffel Tower!
Notre Dame--swarming with tourists as it was Easter weekend
My first, and sadly only, real French crepe
Arc de Triomphe
My cable car ride up Mt. Pilatus in the Swiss Alps!
In Luzern, Switzerland standing in front of the Wasserturn Bridge
The breathtaking view from Neuschwanstein Castle!
Me in front of the fairy-tale castle in Fussen Germany...Neuschwanstein!
Olympic Stadium in Munich--a bit prettier than Berlin
View of Munich from above
My traditional German meatballs, mashed potatoes, and of course, Bavarian beer in Munich!
New Town Hall, and the Glockenspiel! 
View over the beautiful Salzburg! This was on our self-guided Sound of Music tour!
Parliament building in Vienna
View of the city of Vienna from Schonbrunn Schloss gardens
Me with the painted bears at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, where the 1937 Olympics were held. These bears were a trademark in Berlin as they were scattered all over the city :)
The view of Berlin from the Berlin Dom (a beautiful cathedral on Museum Island) *note the sunny weather, this was the ONLY sunny day of my time in Berlin, perfect for this view
Me in front of the Reichstag, where Parliament meets. I was able to have lunch with my study tour group at a restaurant in the dome of this building!
Some friends from the MPP study tour--in front of the decorative Berlin wall!

A few of us from the tour in front of Brandenberg Bridge--a symbol of Berlin reunification after the wall fell.
