It feels like I just got back

[⊕ Owen Pearson]

I'm going to Europe!!! ;D

So, I am leaving on Tuesday at 1 PM and will be getting back at midnight on the 13th. This means that the hostile will probably need to be put on hold for a little over a week. If I can post before I leave, then I will, but at the rate that it's going...

As for why I am going to Europe for about a week, I am going to be going to Paris then to Berlin. I will also be going to Vimiy Ridge (Don't think I spelt that right...) to see my great uncle's grave from WWI. I will take a lot of pictures and I will post some for you to see.

I hope this place doesn't fall apart without me...

-Owen

Edit: I didn't spell it right... Wikipedia Article about VIMY Ridge.

Have a great time Owen! I wish I could visit Europe...

[Heiko Alkema]

Sounds like a great time. Have some extra fun for me!

Erik and Nathan are gonna be pissed

[Deleted]

Enjoy your time... *whistles "Over There"*

What country did your great uncle fight for?

[⊕ Owen Pearson]

Canada, Hautt. He was only a Private.

[Daniel Brennan]

Have a good time, Owen. I think I went to the Vimy ridge thing a few years ago.

[Nathan Whyte]

Nyuh. Abandoning us in the middle of a battle

Have fun, Owen.

[Stephen Colly]

Have fun Owen!

[∬: Erik Schneider]

Not the rate the battle is going. The rate Heiko is going...

Cya when you get back.

P.S. We really should have initiated a 48 hour posting limit thing...

Too Late. You can blame Nathan.

A few photos from the trip:


Musee d'Orsay in Paris


Eiffel Tower (so rebellious in photo taking :


Versailles


Vimy Ridge Monument (IT IS HUGE)


Brandenburg Gate-Only saw it on the first day so I didn't get very good pictures-they were setting up for some major event.


Checkpoint Charlie


Monument to the Murdered Jews of Europe-It is very cool to see. The blocks range from like ankle high to like 9 feet tall (that's like 3 meters, right?)


Part of the Remaining Berlin wall at the East Gallery


My favorite painting there. You have to know a bit more about what was around Checkpoint Charlie though.


On top of the Reichstag


Yum German Politics

I took like 600-something photos. These were some of the best, I guess.

[Daniel Brennan]

Good pics and welcome back.

I love the chocolate Reichstag and the picture of the real one is good too - it's a cool building.

The one thing these pictures are missing is you.

[Leeroy Atherton]

You're right, Owen - three metres is nine feet. There are three feet to a metre, and 3x3=9.

That chocolate Reichstag would be awesome if it was filled with caramel, or some other filling, like strawberry syrup. I can just imagine someone whistling innocently as they break off a piece to eat. But it looks good as it is, as well. ;D

[Dieter "Iceman" Rentz]

Very nice pictures, seems like you saw a lot of interesting stuff! It's good I wasn't there where the chocolate Reichstag is, otherwise I would go all OM NOM NOM with it.

[⊕ Owen Pearson]

Since Dan asked. Although I didn't get many pictures with me in them (probably because I was using the camera most of the time...)
This is the only picture of me that I had hosted on the internet:



...you can't see my face tho...

I don't get many pictures of myself ever.

[Edward"Butcher"McMillan]

DON'T JUMP OWEN! IT ISN'T WORTH IT!

Oh...this is OOC...sweet pics then dude
