It has been a while!
Hey everyone,
First off I just want to say sorry I never got around to telling you about my Euro Tour. I really don't have the time or the patients to go through every city and give you a bunch of stories. I will tell you all about Euro Tour + the rest of my exchange when I see you all at home (which is very soon by the way).
But here is a quick overview.
Berlin, Germany: A lot of walking around looking at beautiful buildings!
Prague, Czech Republic: A really fun city. Yup.
Vienna, Austria: Amazing city. Beautiful horse and carriage ride.
Venice, Italy: Very beautiful. Got lost so many times and I love it!
Lido Di Jesolo, Italy: Beach city! Lounged around and played frisbee in the water!
Verona, Italy: A quick stop in a sketchy area of town. Fight out side of our hotel left blood spills for us to walk around the next morning.
Monaco, Monaco: All I have to say is ... F1 RACING!!!
Avignon, France: We had a lovely time here, enjoying the bridge to nowhere and ultimate frisbee in our boxers.
Paris, France: Three nights in the amazing city of Paris wasn't nearly enough time.
Brussels, Belgium: Chocolate and blues festivals filled our days.
Amsterdam, The Netherlands: A lot of "herbal cigarets". But not for us exchange students. Drugs are bad kids.
And thats it! I had a pretty wicked time and when I come home I will talk more about everything when we meet again.
Love,
Dillon

Hey dad I'm really sorry that I didn't catch you when I phoned you in Prauge. I am at an internet cafe in Avignon France. Euro Tour is the most amazing thing ever. When you two old farts retire you better travel europe or you are missing out. I miss you guys a lot. I wish you could see all the beautiful and amazing things that I am getting to see. It is an amazing experience to say the least. A lot of fun stories to tell, and some crazy ones too. But don't worry we are good kids. We take care of each other and make good decisions (remember to tell mom that!!!!) I have one more night in Avignon and tomorrow we are leaving at 7am for a long trip to Paris. I have a good polaroid collection going now of all the places I have been too. They look great man.
Every single place we have been too is so amazing and breathe taking. It doesn't even hit you when you are in those amazing places. And I don't think it will until Euro Tour is long over and I am sitting at home with you looking at photos from months back.My buddy decided to get a tattoo today and I went with him to watch... it was too cool. But I didnt get one dont worry. Also my friends got their ears pierced... but I didnt get mine done dont worry!!!BUT YESTERDAY WE WERE IN MONACO!!!! AND IT JUST SO HAPPENED THAT THE F1 RACE WAS ON THE SAME DAY. THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CITY EVER AND THE LOUDEST NOISE COMING FROM THE RACE CARS I HAVE EVER HEARED!!It is too weird to think that I am in France right now and you are in boring Bracebridge.I don't think I will ever stop traveling. There are too many places I haven't seen yet.
I love you and I will call you as soon as I get home.
Love you Dad,
Dillon
