The Alps/Austria

Six days ago I went to the Alps. The Alps are long row of mountains that can be small or big. Here are some pictures.

 
We could walk aside the Gorge.
This is the view that we saw from the path


    In the Alps I saw this    beautiful gorge called The Partenkirchen Gorge. I think that the water in the gorge came ~from the mountains.~



The next day we went to Austria. The drive was 3 hours long.

What famous candy was made in Linz, Austria? Email me the answer when you get it if you get it. Maybe I can bring you some when I get back to the USA.

Now we are still in Austria but we are staying in a hotel in Vienna. Vienna is a big city in Austria.

My English Garden Painting

Yesterday we went to the English Garden. When we were there we used water color pencils and water to paint pictures of what we were thinking about. Here's mine.

It is a picture of the lake and the ground from our view.
While we were painting we were sitting on a very old monument that was made in the early nineteenth century. It was made with marble. It was very comfy and we had a good view of a very nice lake. I fed some ducks bread crusts. One bit my finger and it really tickled. We got some ice pops in the garden. We were going to see some surfing but we could not find the place where they were practicing surfing.

Finally today when we got home we played with a tennis ball on the back patio and we got some ice cream.  


I had a great time!!!

Athletic Adventures

Today I am going to start of with a round of "Where in the World is Emeline Schweitzer". Here is the picture.



Fact: In 1972 this place was used for some thing that just ended 2 weeks ago.

Today I visited a few churches and said some prayers. I also saw a lot of very pretty and awesome fountains. There was an under the sea themed one (That was my favorite) and a fish one. My mom had a tour book that told us about the different things that we saw. I can't wait to go back.

The Zoo

Today I went to the zoo! I saw a whole bunch of different kinds of animals. For example, I saw Zebras, Lions, Elephants, Anteaters, Horses, Seals, Fish, Birds, a Polar Bear, Monkeys, Chimpanzees, Orangutans, Sloths, Bats, Snakes, Penguins, and Goats. My favorite parts were petting the goats, the monkeys swinging really close to the other side of the glass and the owl that landed right above my head.



There were really cool Jungle Gyms. There were monkey bars, rock climbing walls, and balance beams. There was this really cool thing that looked like a Elephant were you could climb up many different ways and then you would slide down a really long and twisty slide. It was awesome! There were also a lot of very nice people there. It was a lot of fun. I can't wait to go back to the Zoo.

Where Am I?

Today I am going to start a game with you. I am going to take pictures and post them on my blog. I will also give you hints and facts about the place I am. Then you are going to have to guess where I am and what I am doing.  It is called “Where in the World is Emeline Schweitzer?” To find the answer you can research it online or ask your parents for help. Once you have the answer you can send me a comment and I will tell you if it is correct.

For my first “Where in the World…” post we visited a castle in Munich on August 26. Here is a picture.




Fact: “Crazy” King Ludwig II of Bavaria was born and grew up there.


On 27/8/2016 (This is how they write the dates here) I hopped on a boat that took me across Lake Starnberg to Rose Island. On that island I visited a castle that King Ludwig visited as a child. It was small but nice. It might not look like royalty would stay there from the outside but if you look inside of it you would get what I mean.




Another thing that I saw was the cross that was built where King Ludwig’s body was found when he drowned in Lake Starnberg. I have a picture.



I also went to a church at first I thought that it was a castle. I said a prayer.


My sister and I had a great time.

Stay Tuned!!!

Leving New York soon

I will be leaving New York on Monday, August 22, 2016. Today I got a mani/pedi and went in the pool with all of my aunts and uncles on my mom's side of the family.  


Right now I am excited but nervous. I really don't know what to feel at this point. I think that I should feel excited. Well if you thought that I was just going to keep telling you about my feelings then you are thinking wrong. As you can tell this is going to be one of the biggest and best trips of my life.


STAY TUNED!
