One part of our trip that was surprising to me was Bosnia Herzegovina. We were never planning on going there, and I am super glad that we did! It was very interesting to learn about the war, especially because I just read a book about it in school! It is crazy to me that a war so impactful isn’t taught to kids in the USA.
I have also really enjoyed the places we have gone to. I especially loved spending time with my Aunt and Uncle on Aäland. It was super fun to get sweaty in the sauna only to then jump in the sea, and stay up till 2 every night because the sunset lasted all night! I also absolutely loved Germany and Austria. Mainly to food! In Germany, the pork knuckle and schnitzel were AWESOME, and in Austria, I had the best pretzels of my life (and I eat a lot of pretzels)! We even had pretzel bread, that we put fresh ham and cheese on!
I also think that this trip made me realize how advanced and developed the USA is. For example, in the USA hospitals are everywhere! In Europe, we drove through towns that didn’t have a hospitals within at least 50 miles!
I have really loved this trip, and the impact that it has had on my family and I. We have all gotten really comfortable with each other, and the bond that we now share is unlike anything else. I am super excited to go back to our home. Before we left, I always loved everything about it, but this trip has made me love it even more!
