23 days

We leave in 23 days. It hardly seems real. I am so excited! Our final itinerary is as follows:

London, England

Paris, France

Strasbourg, France

Black Forest, Germany

Interlaken/Gimmelwald, Switzerland

Civita, Italy

Cinque Terre, Italy

Pisa, Italy

Rome, Italy

Venice, Italy

Innsbruck, Austria

Munich, Germany

We see 6 countries in 25 days. We are staying with friends of friends, acquaintances, strangers, and in hostels. We will be sleeping on floors and couches and trains and planes. We will be eating in the lowliest European cafes and in open markets. We will be waking before the sun to beat lines so we can see some of the most beautiful works on this earth. We will play and slumber in some of God's most prized creations. We will wear the same clothes for close to a month and carry everything we need on our backs. We will write briefly in journals the moments that we will possess for a lifetime. We will meet the most interesting people and witness their beautifully strange culture. We will pay cash for experiences and forget buyer's remorse. And we will document it all, so don't worry :)
