3/26

Phew! My head hurts. I’ve been here in Temple’s computer lab for the past two hours trying to get this trip as planned out as it’s going to be.

Here’s what is for sure:

Tomorrow morning I am flying alone into Prague for the next week. I booked a hostel called Plus Prague and it’s supposed to be amazing. I got it for only 10 euro a night and I’m booked all the way up until April 3rd. On April 3rd I will be flying into Paris at 6 in the morning to meet up with Fei Fei and our friends from Rome for four days. On April 7th I will be flying from Paris to Amsterdam and that is all that I know for sure.. I’m doing my best to get in touch with Ollie, my old foreign exchange friend from High School to see if we could meet up in Germany for a couple days. I’m keeping my fingers crossed on that one. I’m really happy I’ve got all this taken care of now. Yesterday, I happened to stumble upon an American bookstore here in Rome. Crazy, huh? I nabbed a couple of pocket translator books for English to Czech, English to Dutch, English to German, and English to French. I’m pretty excited about all that.

Considering I’ve still got nearly two weeks after what I have already planned, I’ve got a lot more to check out. I’m considering going to stay in Amerstam all the way up until the end, but we’ll see how much I end up liking it. In the event that I feel like traveling still and have the money left for it, I’m going to try and see Geneva, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Athens, Liverpool, AND London…that might be a lot for two weeks - but I’m just seeing where the wind takes me. That’s what backpacking is all about, right?

My hostel in Prague apparently has internet, so expect to hear from me soon.

Ciao!
