Tourists Being Tourists



Traveling throughout Europe this Spring Break, the men's team had numerous opportunities to invest in one of the many selfie sticks being sold at the major tourist sites. However, we couldn't let our selfie game be outdone by the hoards of tourists we encountered on account of our tight budget, so I took it upon myself to retrofit my arms as a human selfie stick. The goal was to take one selfie worthy of a National Geographic cover in each country. The results are below. 

On the trails in Sjusjøen, Norway. About 40 kilometers in, about to make the final push to 50. Glad I was able to get Braden and Dylan in on the action before they headed back to the States for the second week of break.

Lots of scantily clad statues to pose with in Brussels! Jack Schrupp practicing for his post-grad career as a Crest model. 

Hagar Qim Temple in Malta. Older than Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid of Giza. Henry must have been looking for ancient buried treasure in this one, but Tessa Schrupp (younger sister of Jack) made a guest appearance!


Gaudí's Sagrada Família, Barcelona. The team looking haggard after our flight arrived in Barcelona at 3:00 am! Franklin must have found another espresso just before this one though.


To wrap up, a group shot not in selfie form. Thanks to the security guard at Bunkers del Carmel who we befriended for this one. 

Looking forward to getting the whole team back together this week for some spring skiing up at Prospect and long runs around the Purple Valley in the weeks to come.
