Party in Ibiza

4th of July weekend we flew out to Ibiza (island off of Spain). This was most of our group's last major trip together.


It's quite famous for being a party island actually. It's even in a bunch of songs, like J-Lo's latest song, On the Floor..."London to Ibiza".

Anyways, back on track. So we went to Ibiza, and did a lot of this


And some of this

And then this

And a little of this

And then back to more of this


That pretty much sums up the whole weekend. Beaches and clubs. It was awesome. That club picture is actually from the Snoop concert we went to. I wish I could accurately portray how incredibly crammed the crowd was in there. It was awful. I actually only stayed in that room for about 20 min (which is about how long it took me to force my way in about 10 yards, and force my way back out again)...didn't even wait for Snoop to come out - which, turns out, I'm really glad for because he ended up being like 2 hours late. It was just sooooo crowded - not even worth it.
But aside from that little fun-filled night, the trip was a blast. Sad it was my last trip with the gang though.

The Hills are Alive with the Sound of Music

A few weeks ago my buddy Aaron and I took a train to Salzburg for a few days. In case you didn't know, Salzburg is where The Sound of Music was filmed, and that's its big tourist draw. They have an entire tour that takes you to a bunch of the places used in the movie:

The "house" used as the back of the Von Trapp mansion, and the lake they fall in. This is actually like a science research center

The gazebo - moved from it's original location because all the scientists got tired of having tourists around their building all the time


Fountains/Gardens used in the "do rae mi" scene


The Sound of Music stuff was cool to see, but the city alone is pretty awesome



And the tour took us up into the countryside of Austria, which is amazing



These pics were taken on my iphone with the autostitch app - I highly recommend it
