You grandma made her message bold, and I got jealous. So here's another message for Beth! And it's in bold!
I can't wait to see you- soon, soon! I hope you have safe travels, and I recommend that when you get home, restrict yourself to 45 minutes to tell your family stories and then GO TO BED! :-) Then tell them everything in the morning and then come tell me stories! Haha ok bye!
Your Friend Hannah
Beth, you've been everywhere and done everything. I am very impressed.
Dad
I just realized...the blog map doesn't have a dot for Berlin. How can we get a dot on Berlin? Because the map is otherwise impressive.
It seems like not knowing the language isn't that big of a problem. That is good because I don't know all that many languages.
Lindsay
You do not.
I have decided in the meantime of all this, that another thing that Redmond is lacking that would possibly make it a better place for us all, is a pasta place. That doesn't cost a million dollars. And has multiple selections. Such as the Cheesecake Factory, but just the pasta (And maybe pizza, for people like Kyle), and in Redmond. If I ever open up a business, besides a dance studio, that is probably what it will be.

The music museum sounds fantastic and as a whole, Vienna sounds much nicer atmospherewise than some of the other cities you've mentioned. Which I have lost track of. The fact that they would lie about Facebook is very confusing indeed. Oh, I forgot to check if you have new pictures. So I spose I'll go do that now.
Grandpa Pounda
I have been so totally wrapped up in your trip!! You totally amaze me, and I can't understand why since you were always the advenurous one.]You must have seen every museum in Europe by now. I share your impressions of Berlin vis-a-vis Vienna, which is much more relaxing. Your great grandfather and great grandmother stayed at the Hotel Sacher which is where we all learn about their famous torte. Can't wait to have you back home to tell us more. Your mom says she does'nt miss you at all (ha). I defy anyone to tell me t hat they got more out of a trip than you have. way to go Belth. Love Grandpa

Hi Beth,
I think someone was right - our lives are boring in comparison, so we quit messaging :-)
I am so glad you're enjoying the Christmas markets. I would also like to see more of those sometime, though I think I need a bigger house first so I can display more decorations! And I haven't seem Prague, Berlin, Barcelona or Austria yet!
Have fun in Austria! I look forward to hearing much more when you get home!

I'm still reading the blog but Ihave absolutely nothing to report because I have been sick and not doing much since Thanksgiving thanks to the nasty virus that Erin brought home with her from Wooster. Last night tho we went to see the "NYC Rockettes Christmas Spectacular" and it was very good! They all got on a bus and they had a huge screen behind them and it looked like we were travelling thru the streets of NYC with them. Oh, I do have one unusual story....Erin's friend from Delaware that goes to Wooster with her just got a concussion from getting hit in the head with a toilet seat! Yes, you read that right.....a toilet seat. Appparently she was at a swim team party where the team was celebrating a victory over rival Wittenberg and a drunk swimmer was swinging around a toilet seat that said "s*** on Wittenberg" and hit Danielle in the head. That is a bizarre story...hopefully she will recover more quickly than Anne did. It is exam week tho so the timing was not good. Enjoy the rest of your trip!
Mom
Ha ha ha ha, grandpa Ruf, you crack me up!! It is "facebook" or "myspace"..not "spacebook!" ha ha ha, that made my day. Actually you get a lot of credit for tracking that down and I am impressed!
Lindsay
You should probably not insult your readership. It is called finals. Sorry that we are slacking because we are taking FINALS whilst you are off galavanting through EUROPE.
Jeez.
My friend says Prague is the best city in the world but it doesn't sound that way too much. Thoughts? David might study abroad in New Zealand, and I am jealous. But only because it is really close to Australia.
I am so glad everybody is coming home! This place is not as much fun when it's all empty. And now you are talking to me on spacebook so off I go.
Grandpa Ruf
I think the reason you are not getting as many comments is because solving the sum is becoming too difficult. Mine this time was 4+3. Seriously, I am sure that everyone looks for your blogs and they are so interesting and our lives, in comparison, so ordinary that we don't have that much exciting to say. I think I got a picture of Kevin off his spacebook home page so now I have a better idea of what he looks like standing next to a bull (or some sort of animal). Hi Kevin, take care. Beth will be home soon.
Grandma Ruf
Beth, I am amazed at all the places you have gone and things you have seen and done. Good for you "You go girl!" I'm sure there are a lot more places you would like to visit but, for now, think about that comfortable bed waiting at home.
