I LOVE RYAN SHECKLER! He is like the cooolest and most hottest dude ever. I sooo want to meet him 

Bored

Hey guys I am bored again, but not for long. From tommorow on word we are really really busy for the next 2 weeks. I can not say as to why though. Any ways I am going to a fair at my grandmas house for two nights and the day I get back I have to go to my cousins house and than we are remoldeling our house. So it is all hard for us.

My life is coming back!

Why do so many bad things happen to me. I am getting obsessed with the one person who treated me the worst again. I can not take it anymore. He just makes me want to cry. UGGH! I want him to leave FOREVER! Why can't he do that? I need help. I need to be obseessed with someone who will be nice to me back. I wanted to avoid him. I forgot about him. Than I saw him!

Bored

This is Mimi, Shelby's cousin. I am really bored and my mommy won't let me make my own blog. I ask her and bug her every day, but she won't budge. I'll get my dad to convince her to let me though. REALLY BORED RIGHT NOW.

A friend

Do you have that friend I have. The one that cares soo much for you and will do anything possible to help you. And their are soo many people in the world that can put you down but, you don't worry about it because that ceartin person just brings you back up and makes you feel better. I love that I have people like that in my life. The ones that put others before them and help the ones that need saving. That is who I call a friend.

Home

When I stepped into the hott America from the forigness of Europe I had only two things on my mind, My luagage and the trip home. When I thought of home in Croatia I thought of the place that only exsited in my fantasy the place that I would never find again and miss forever. Then I saw it. I walked up to it and felt like home again. It is a rather hard thing to exsplain. This was a feeling only my brain can have. I missed this place and nearly cried just seeing what I left behind.

America

I am now doing posts of My American Life and how wonderful it is. If anybody is wondering what I did right when I got home was, Look at my house; had a piece of cheesecake; call my cousin and went to bed. Today I took a shower; called my friends and went over my other friends.I missed them so much and I missed allot too. I am trying to get used to being able to read everything and I am really excited to see more of my friends and family.

Dom

This trip has brought oppertunity, challenges, possinbilities, and survial for clean clothes. WE had visited 6 countries but, only one seems as if we can call it home and where we belong. That is America. I missed the good ol Michigan weather; The consrustions and the signs that I understand. I am glad to be back home where I can feel as if I am around. The European life style was relaxed in most places, unlike the ways around there. I will always have thoes memories floating around. My new best friends; the family that considered me closer like they know me and the gerneracity as to making us fee welcome at home. We have gotten home saftley after me being soo excited to see my loved ones and just the airport. I am sorry I have no pictures but, I have just come home be ... Me, I'm just a kid.

Magdollana

Love -Shelby Delby

Europe

This trip has brought something for each of us to look for or each of us to enjoy. For My Dad it has been having the opportunity to see where he grew up again and talking to the people that he has not seen for years. For my Mom I think it was seeing the Gothenburg village and to take a bath at our first hotel in Germany. My older Brothers favorite part was seeing the toilets again. Also maybe the BMW museum. For Alex he probably liked Lego Land the best and buying stuff he could buy at home. Also probably playing with the cats around. Me well I had the most fun writing to you, seeing places like the BMW museum, Meeting New people that are now my best friends, seeing Germany; learning history and I think seeing and realizing that there is more in life than worrying about just my self and I have it pretty good.

HEY

Guys I just published a pot that said "I can't wait to watch life of ryan and understand it". Well now that we have stopped at a hotel in slovania I was watching TV. It was in English and I COULD UNDERSTAND HIM. It was like a dream come true. I got to watch my favorite person of all time again!

5 days

Only 5 days in tell we come back. I am excited and Sad at the same time but it is all ok I will be glad to come back home and be able to have my own room to change in without my brothers walking in and being able to watch Life of Ryan and Understand it. Nice clean sheets and playing Basketball outside with my friends.

Leaving but coming

Today we are leaving Detach Land and going back to the cabin in Croatia, (unfortunately). I really wanted to stay longer in just Germany because even though I did not get to see all the stuff I was really planning on seeing I really wanted to finish looking at the stuff we were planning too. Even though we are leaving the land of the cutest guys I will be coming back. I will see the places I wanted to see in Germany and I will visit the relatives I understand and the mall. This trip was well worth it and I hope I can come back with just my friends and some of the family I missed the most. This way I can enjoy my trip with the people I love and without any worries.

Nothing of Europe just Music

Simple Plan
I am bored so I will write about my favorite band, Simple Plan. Simple Plan is a rock band. A really good one. My favorite song is I’m a kid and your love is a lie. The lead singers name is Pierre Bonviuer. He is 29 years old looks 18 and has longer hair.
He also once hosted a show called disaster control on MTV. I really don’t know any other info about the others because I only pay attention to the singer because he has an awesome voice. I. Check out the video on goggle videos or on simpleplan.com. I posted I’m Just a kid on my blog It is on the top left corner. They also have their own youtube site youtube.com/simpleplan they are really awesome.

BMW and All

Ok I know that I am boring by talking about this stuff. But a couple days ago we went to the BMW home. At first I thought it would be boring but, when we were looking threw just the main building we got to see the stuff hands on and that is what made it fun. Then we took a tour of the plant. Even if you do not think you will want to see it and, don’t care much about cars you will enjoy it trust me. At this plant you get to see the machines and every step they take to make that gorgeous BMW that you either drive or watch other people drive. The best part about the tour for us was the elevator getting stuck. On the elevator you are supposed to level the weight or it will not go. We got it leveled; it went down and it got stuck on the floor. The tour guy was sweating as he said “it is ok this never happened before” finally my dad told them to pull the door and they opened. It got hot quick but it was the funniest part as everyone on the tour joked around about it. Man I tell you the English guy behind me on the elevator was soo funny.

Little L and Legos

Ok this post is for Little L my Cousin. We went to Lego land today nothing very spectacular just a bunch of things made out of legos but, it was pretty cool. I really liked seeing what thoes plastic blocks can really make. It had a really cool part where you could see how they make legos and they had a couple roller coasters. I will post pictures.This post is for Little L because I heard he loves legos and mazbe he would enjoy the pictures. I can't wait till I get home so I can give you (Little L) your soviner. See you soon I love you and can't wait to give you a big ol kiss. I have missed you alot.

Hey There

So far the greatness of Germany is the people. I am not talking about any ordinary people. I am talking specifically about the boys. These are not ordinary boys they are German. They are sooo Cute you would not believe. They have long hair. I am kinda glad I am here. Maybe I will want to stay longer. This is like paradise in a way. I think it is better than the coast. America is supposed to be the land of opertunity. I think Germans have more.... well the girls do. They seem to like me too. I should talk to one. You have to see this place

Dauch

It is the book you never read in English class; its the chapter review in social studies you failed; and the picture on the Internet that you ignored as spam. Concentration camps all through Europe are what made our world so awful. We saw the worst things people can do and the evils of Hitler and his troops. Many people may forgive and NOBODY will forget. It was hard for me to just see it, imagine how hard it is to feel it. So many people gone in the blink of an eye. Today at the formally first concentration camp of Germany I witnessed things that had most likely changed history. Seeing just pictures and reading as to what they did put a knot in my stomach seeing photos and learning more about this history and walking threw the remains of a horrible place. Tricking people into things they think are the greater thing in their day but take a rapid turn. I saw a picture of a man getting an experiment done on his brain. He was sooo happy and I watched him smile than the next photo he was in pain: I look at the last photo and his eyes where closed. This is something that is very sad in our lives to remember and it can never be forgotten. Also as it says on the memorial... Never Again.

Dan Dan the Ice cream Man

As you know my father has friends anywhere. Well when we went to a resturant and the guy spoke english my dad started to talk to him. This kid wanted to know all about America. He than said take me with you and my dad said he would give him a card so when he is coming to the US my dad can show him around. So everyday we went to go get ice cream and their he was and of course my dad talked to him and once even pulled up our house on google. After a while on the last day the guy did not seem to interested in my dad talking to him. Finally my dad found out his name was Daniel and he started calling him Dan because I call my Daniel Dan He seemed soo mad at my dad. This is one friend that did not want to be made.

Friends and Family are all

All I need are my friends and family that speak english and they are here. The good thing about this trip is that I have cousins that speak my launage. It is so cute listening to the little ones though. They are so fun to talk to and especially play football over there that is the one thing that they all do over there. And it is something we enjoy too. They have the Euro 2008 and that is what gets them excited just like our football but, backwards. When they are little they try their best to talk in the words they understand in English and when we went over my one cousin we were watching Scooby doo in English and then he said, “ This is my English teacher.”

Caca moya Dante?

How is my Dante? I miss you sooo much buddy. I can’t wait till I see you again. It will only be nine days in tell we are back and you can watch TV with me again. I miss your bark and you running across the street. Can’t wait in tell I get home to see you and we can play a game of soccer that you usually beat me at. I hope your bone was good and your blanket in comfy. I hope also that you miss me as much as I miss you and that you are having fun. Stay beautiful buddy. Everybody loves you. Kisses… - Shelby

Austria

Ok guys we are in Austria and almost to Germany. I am so glad I will not be going back to the boring house again but, the rest of my family will because I get to stay with my cousin Magdalena for two nights before we leave. I am excited for Germany because I think it will be the most exciting time during this trip. I wanted to see Mirko on this trip though because I have not seen him in 2 years since he was in America. I don’t think my family really wants to go the extra 10 hours… 7 was enough! I can’t wait till we get to sleep in a hotel and than only in 9 days we get to go home. I am upset because there is so much that I am not going to be able to see. For instance, Croatia’s soccer stadium; more gift shops; and more of the bigger part of Zagreb. During this vacation I was really curious to learn a bit more about the Yugoslavian war but, since it is still going on the right thing to do is… not ask!! I hope whom I sent a post card to will get it before we get back.

I reply

People keep saying that I could always stay at the island and that if my parents get sick of me they could dunk me off their. Well... I could but it is to late now and they would miss me awfully. My little brother decided to decline by grandpas offer as to take over the house in Ogulin because of the fact that their is nothing to do their. If someone wants to ship me home than that is fine... I would love to come home, and I am sure that my family would love for me to go after having every waking moment with them but, I do not have alot of money to be sending myself when sending my friends and family post cards was 14.00 I think that sending a 120 pound person may just take all our vacation money. So as long as you pay and sign I am ok.

How am I doing

Hey guys just wanted to know if I could get some info on how I am doing leave a comment if you can plez and also please tell me how to improve my blog. I know I am complaining alot but, that is because I miss home and you so please forgive me and can't wait to see you all. Again thanks for your love and support.

Ship me Early

Ok I am done I give in. Let me go home. Lets go to Germany real fast, and Magdallena's and than lets go home. I wanna play basketball, make a movie of this trip, call my friends,Have friends come over, and watch T V I understand.

Naked Island

Imagine if instead of being fined or jailed for a crime they took you to an island around a 1/2 hour by boat away from your home land for your scentence. Well this is house these people had it. This island is called the naked Island because when they found it nothing was their. Perfect for prisoners to not escape. They than turned it to a prison for pollitical prisoners. One island for girls and one for guys.
About a half hour walk just on the other side of the island is what looks like a town but, it really is a few buildings for the workers to enjoy themselves when off duty and for the prisoners to work all the time.
Once the yougo war started all prisoners where released to supposedly fight in it. After that tourists by boats went to the island and destoyed most of the beautiful buildings. They now turned it into a tourist spot for us to see what it was but, not much is their and everything looks the same. All we got to see was its history
Pics shown above are the officers once beautiful dinning hall and the other is womens prison

just another day

Just Another Person talking about another day on the coast. My dad went fishing and as usual we did the only thing to do around here. Swim and shop at stands. By the way I am buying Croatian made souvenirs at least I think. Well I retook the pictures from yesterday and my hair is not in my face... I even wore the same shirt so it looks like I took it the first time but, I won't lie.

Pics

These are just some of the best pics taken starting from Sunday this week hope you enjoy!

Mom and Dad

My Mom says since she couldn't go to Europe Skinny she said she is going to go fat and come home skinny... I wonder how that is working out for them! I think that we are getting more exercise pulling them on the raft.

MyA

Their is a cat that is allowed to run free. His name is Mya in less it is a she. Well this cat is cute and hilarious. Their are many cats around here but this one is special... very hyper. Mya likes to touch your camera, play tag with Alex and when making the attempt to pick her up she grips to the railing. KITTENS ARE CUTE

Hellllllo

Hey guys just dropping by some new pics I miss you all and I can't wait till I get to come home. It is b-e-a-u-t ful here and I really wish all my friends and family could be here to enjoy this with me. The coast can be really fun if I was not having fun with the same boring brothers 24/7 it gets boring. Here are some pics and if you can not see them please let me know because I will have to figure out why. I am trying to make a slide show of the trip so far in pics and I can not figure out how to so... Bear with me as I just post pics on posts I will try harder. THanks for all your support and time in your day to check this page. Yes I know my hair is in my way.. it is a bad pic of me!

The coast

Here I have to sides... I wanna go home and then again I feel that if I do go home than I will not have peace and I will miss this place... Paradise. I want to go home because I want to se my family that cares so much and talks to me and I want to see my friends that I have known and seen for so long and am now parted with. Then as I look here at the sea and the way it moves and the happiness it put inside of me I think this is a friend that is here for me. It may be hard for me to hear people, to understand them and our time may be really differant so I can not talk to me friends but, this is a peacful plave. Their are places to walk and their are waters to swim and their is just the lights of this place it is wonderful. If you could just see the balconey that I am sitting on and the lights coming in from the caffe below from the grape vines and the sound of the sea and how every resturant is still open.

A friend and Family

Finally Someone who speaks my Laungage. I met a csouin the other day that is as good as a best friends her name is Magdolanna . She is really good at english and so are her family. MY really cool uncle here is Uncle Milan and My Aunt Milka they talk to me and in a way I can understand. This vacation is turing out to be pretty good. A life time Exsperince Right?

Spring Water

Today after we went to Mcdonalds we came back here and saw a few people. I was really bored and I could not do anything or explore because of the fact that snakes are in tall grass, which is everywhere and hidden in Rocks, which is also everywhere! No sports to play or anything because we have nothing to play sports with, So Tetka Zora, my dad and brothers went threw these hot woods while I was in pants and threw bushes and came to a beautiful lake full of spring water and beautiful rocks with moss on them. I do have pictures but they are nothing like it really is, you’ll have to see it in person. I wish you could all be here. I keep saying I want to go home but when I stop and look at the hills and valleys I think “what a beautiful place.”

Mickey Donalds

Mcdonalds is Mcdonalds anywhere you go. Even if it clogs your arteries at least it makes me remember as=and feel like home. It may make people fat but, I am glad I got to see a place that is all around the world. I got my usaual and I had fun going to Arties grocery store…weird.

Daddy

I can tell my Dad is really happy to be here. He loves to show me and especially Alex the history and the place he used to go when he was a kid. It is really enjoyable to see the past and how my dad used to live. I love it. He also showed me the house he lived in the last time he was here and it was like a museum that I enjoy soo much. I love sseeing it. Here are some pics.

What did you expect?

When you voted on going to Europe you must of not realized the part of Europe I was talking about. So far it has only been a few days and I already want to go home. I am enjoying this trip but sometimes I wish I were home more. There is not much to do. I really want to go to Zagreb that ways I can send you all post cards soon and I am excited to get threw this week to go to Germany and see the sites.
